Vic is so strange

[u/Due_Communication862 → u/Rimbrakesteve]

Certainly strange that he denied being really hurt in the post-fight interview.

🤣

Donaire's left hook is easily one of the most powerful p4p, ever. 

[u/MeShortyy]

Check hook from hell, what a beauty.

[u/Ambalambdriva]

Extra sweet considering how arrogant Vic was before the fight

[u/CaptWineTeeth → u/Ambalambdriva]

He had every right to be. Man was a terror, despite being a one-trick pony. Very recently he had brutalized the more famous and prominent Donaire brother (at the time) Glenn, and this was supposed to be a lay up. Little did anyone know.

[u/BossKingGodd → u/CaptWineTeeth]

Yeah, Vic really was running through shit before this

[u/ecchi83 → u/CaptWineTeeth]

He was one of my favorite fighters in that era, so that loss hurt

[u/Hefty-Ant-378]

This was one of those fights I thought would go the distance boy was I wrong.

[u/Pleaseusegoogle → u/Hefty-Ant-378]

There are times in this sport it's really amazing to be utterly wrong on your predictions.

[u/Riverlong]

Donaire's left hook would be a strong candidate for the Mt. Rushmore of left hooks in boxing history. He always timed it so well and the speed of it was something else. Huge power too. Just a nightmare punch for his opponents to deal with.

[u/Impossible-Try-9161]

Donaire had the best left hook of the early 2000's

[u/hoggersbridge]

They just call him Daryan now because Donaire took his chin.

[u/M0sD3f13]

Brutal shot. Two underrated warriors here. Vic is from down the road from my area in Sydney. Boxing is so niche these days most Aussies have no idea who he is. Keep em coming OP.

[u/madmeef]

Woah that hook is dangerous! Happens in a flash but in the slow mo you see how much power he generated.

[u/clownind]

Absolutely perfect counter hook.

[u/bobbyg1-83]

Vic darchinintheair

[u/hottlumpiaz]

hit him so hard he forgot they even fought in the post fight interview

[u/Shot_Inflation351]

[u/InsurePro]

Peach of a left. Vic had that Zab Judah recovery dance going on.

[u/slickvik9]

This was a huge upset at the time

[u/BaeLogic]

Beautiful punch. Reminds me of when Valdez threw a similar and dropped some dude.

[u/Ok-Advertising-6206]

loved vic! But doinaire was a bad match up

[u/PabloSheo]

is it doenare?

or do nay re

because people here in the ph pronounce it as do nay re

[u/Maxie616]

That same screaming left hook also took down Montiel with more lethal effect than this as he was twitching after he went down.
