Darchinyan was robbed. How the hell is a fighter turning his back and quitting a Tech. Decision??
Donnaire quit and then acted like he was mad when then ring doctor called the fight. When a fighter says "he broke my jaw I can't fight anymore" why go to the ring doctor?
There was no clash of heads, wasn't even close. Darchinyan IMO is 27-0 with 22 KO's.

Reality is Corrales is too big for the LW division - I was surprised he tried to come back down after the Castillo fight fell threw last year -
As for being embarrassed - For not making weight....I can agree (and Corrales said as much himself......which makes me fine with him).
As for the fight, I didn't find it to be terribly boring at all. Sure Corrales was going to be gassed slightly from going full tilt all 12 rounds (because of having to try and cut so much weight) but nevertheless he went the full 12 rounds at a pace just as fast as Casamayor was willing to go.
I thought the fight was close.....with Casamayor having the slight edge.
As for Vic. Agree 100%. It was clearly a punch that TKO'd Donnaire. No question whatsoever. The Ref ruling a headbutt (that he admits he didn't really see happen) is simply odd.
But nevertheless Donnaire was just a stay busy fight and the guy had no real shot at beating Vic.
I like Vic....but I still say his punching power is slightly overrated (he hits hard, hits "heavy" is a better term) but he isn't the devestating biggest puncher on earth that they try to hype him as (not at all).
He would be outboxed by Parra and Wongkongjam (though Wongkongjam is past his prime now)....and I still believe Arce would TKO him.
Vic is physically strong with a solid chin.....he is one dimensional......Though he does put together a fast one/two that he doesn't get enough credit for.
