Comments Thread For: Darchinyan Offers No Excuses Over Donaire Defeat

[umop-ap!sdn]

Good to see Donaire bounce back, even though he looked real rough the whole fight. My concern is I cannot yet tell whether Nonito had a mental block from the Rigo fight that he overcame late in this fight to get the K.O., or if he got lucky cause Vic lost focus for a short moment and got caught with a power shot that we all (including himself) already knew can end his night. All Vic had to do was box solid for 2 more rounds without taking risks and he would have avenged his '07 loss, cause hands down Nonito was losing the fight with just 2rds to go. That alone is disturbing for any NoNo fans.

Id like to add that as much as i love NoNo, he was straight saving face and talkin out da rear at the end of the fight. He aint ready for a Rigo rematch, plain and simple. It don't matter if it's at 126, Rigo will own him again.

Darchinyan said he was going to destroy Donaire. Well Donaire is the one who destroyed you!

darchinyan lost the exact same way to donaire, a left hook to the face while on the attack. ya know the old saying, fool me once, could just be bad luck but fool me twice, then it has nothing to do with luck

No I don't know of that old saying; I know of ''fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me''.

He did pretty well against Nonito. Darchinyan was at his best when he was fighting in the Flyweight and Super Flyweight Division.

Darchinyan had a good game plan till he got hit with that hook. He should have listened to his corner and watched the hook a.k.a Cool Breeze.

WOW Darchinyan accepting defeat! LOL Never thought I'd see it.

On a serious note: Darchinyan is a little pitbull. The type of guy you want on your side in a brawl lol. He looked great, fast and powerful, I had him winning up until the KO. Nothing but respect for a true scrapper like Darchinyan.

... Vic did his best but is old by now... And Donaire was bored and lethargic -- showing little motivation...

Someone said here that Donaire was already bored with fighting even before the Rigondeaux fight, that he was contemplating retirement...

Ole Vic is a good sport. He didn't start crying about a shoulder injury like some loser after getti g schooled by Rigo. Vic didn't wait damn near a decade before agreeing to a rematch or take as azz whopping before granting one. I give Vic much respect because he took his lumps in the sport of boxing and made no excuses. This fight should have happen before Vic turned 33-34 yrs old but the fake powers that be knew not to chance Vic adjusting and whopping dat azz before Rigo did. Vic in my opinion was the real winner because he showed people that if given a rematch years ago he would have done what he said. Knocked Nonito out cold........
