Vic is awesome... some of his vids are classic.

He was sparring with a girl to prepare for Arce.

I love when skinny guys fight... they fight til they are burger.

Vic by a left hook/uppercut.

This should be an action packed fight. I say Darchinyan KO 9.

I'll likely wait until 9p on the west coast feed to catch this one. This month has some good matches.

Oh... and Gus Johnson is going to call the fight.

He is the guy who calls March Madness on CBS. He goes **** over everything.

I wonder how he will call it...

I forgot that he's now doing Showtime championship boxing. He also does NFL games and its the same thing. He goes nuts on about 90% of the plays.

Vic outclassed Arce...

I am surprised that Arce didn't go down...

Dominating performance by Darchinyan, outside of 3rd round.

Arce almost went down in the 9th or 10th, where he looked wobbly.

I'm 7 rounds in... Vic at a distance is great to watch, beautiful. But the exchanges inside aren't much more technical than a hockey fight...at least through the first 4-5 rounds they weren't. Sorta stupid. Vic's calming it down, though, and looking pretty great.
Hi love, bye love, I will miss my love.
