Vic Darchinyan, Kostya Zappa vs. Angulo

Damn those are flush shots.

 

tough kid, hope he recovers

 

Definitely could take a shot.

 

Zappa sucks and Vic is still the man. I hope we get to see the Donair rematch.

 

impressive showing by guerrero. i look forward to seeing him fight more. though he could use a better cutman than barrera

 

The only impressive thing about Guerrero was his ability to absorb punishment.

 

he has some ability. the guy has less than 15 fights and was in with a legit champion. we shall see how he improves.

 

I keep picturing Frank Zappa

 

Reminds me of a young Juan Laporte taking a one-side beating against Salvador Sanchez. Laporte improved in subsequent bouts and later became champion.

 

Was there any way to give Guerrero 3 rounds? Or even 2?
Shit cards.

 

REED's Homey, Brent Urban, Scored a 1st Round KO on the Undercard, Against Emad Ali....

Man Darchinyan is awful. Darchinyan is a perfect example of how knock-outs can keep you relevant. It's hard to believe he beat Mijares.

 

Not only did he beat Mijares, he beat Arce in another fight he was supposed to lose. Albeit that the Arce fight was stopped, it was stopped late on a technical issue {cut} , so it's not like Darchinyan cannot go late if his KO power fails him early. Same with his last fight. And he has been ready to step up and fight bigger guys like Agbeko.

Besides, people are screaming out for KO's and what-not. Then they get them...and complain.:dunno::dunno:

 

He wasnt meant to lose the Arce fight, that was a gimme..Arce has been well shot for quite a while. If you are looking for reasons to big up Darchinyan, the Kirilov, Mijares, Pacheco and deserved win against Gorres stand out much more so.

 

i don't think Vic will do much above 118 though.

 

At first I hated Vic. Hated his ego, hated his style.

Then after a temporary elation as he lay all googley-eyed on the canvass after the Donaire fight, I began to kind of like him since I felt his ego sort of got deflated to the level of his actual skill.

But now he is gradually getting back to where he was before, calls the Donaire win "lucky" (I guess Agbeko was lucky, too), and always reverts back to Mr. Krabbs style boxing when things get ugly. Fights a little dirty, too. So I am starting to dislike him again.

However, I must concede that he is just one of those freak athletes that has no business dominating good fighters with his bizarre, mistake-ridden style - yet he does anyway. You can't argue with results. I do agree that moving up in weight will negate some of his advantages at 115 and will hamper his success.

 

Zappavigna got outclassed. I have a feeling we will be seeing him KTFO in the near future.

 

Not sure about this kid other than he's lucky, dude got a gift similar to Shumenov. And much like Campillo, Angulo is not from a country where boxing is huge nor has the backing like his opponent did. Lenny should take a tune up or 2.
