Good boxer

This guy is very humble but dont let that fool you, he is a Lion inside the ring.
Beating Darch will make everyone take notice of him, bring him bigger names and $$$.

This will be a war and I am cheering for Orlandito.

Like U said, He is extremely humble but when He steps into the ring He's an all out skillful warrior..I've met him & We've spent some time talking & not only has he shown to be humble but has also shown smarts by admitting to himself what he's done wrong in previous fights & trying his best to correct it in his next fights & he also studies his opponents & the rest of the top 10 fighters(which could become opponents) in his range of weights category's very well & picks notice of their virtues just as much as their flaws..Very cool & smart Kid!!

This fight is gonna be good. Some people think Darchinyan is done. I dont!! Darchinyan should be WBC champ right now, he got ROBBED in Japan 3 month's ago.

I like both fighters but vic has been in many wars and this fight is not in his weight class I believe valle by decision

I don't think that requires much explanation at all~

I just realized Del Valle has never fought a southpaw in his whole proffesional carrer. That can be bad news for him. Darchinyan has been in many wars but he's not much smaller than Del Valle, Vic used to fight at 118 alot early in his career. 4 pounds north aint that much.

Guys like Del Valle, Justin Furtuna, Jessie Vargus are what make Boxing great. All three have stepped up early and are not in the least protected like Jose Benavidez and the Arroya twins.

Noe Lopez 2x, Tommy Atencio, Ray Rivera, Christopher Rivera, Jorge Cordero... They all were southpaw and all them got KO but Atencio.

I am not sure I can take Vic in this one, whilst I still think he has a fair bit left in the tank, he didn't exactly sparkle at 118 so I don't hold much hope for him at 122. He is also nearly 37.
