Darchinyan
Is Ready To Kick Some Arce
World super flyweight champion VIC "Raging Bull" DARCHINYAN is
ready to give WBA interim super flyweight champion and Mexican
loudmouth Jorge Arce (51-4-1, 38 KOs), the big Olé-off!
Darchinyan (31-1-1, 25 KOs), from Sydney, Australia by way of
his native Vanadzok, Armenia, responded to the challenge Arce
made to him today.
"If Arce thinks he has a snowball's chance in Hell of beating me
than he's a bigger sucker than those lollipops he chews on,"
said Darchinyan. "Arce shouldn't be worrying about me running
for the hills. He should be worrying about me running him out of
boxing! The last real ring test he had was against Cristian
Mijares in 2007 and we all know how that ended. It was a
murderous unanimous decision victory for Mijares, scored
119-109, 118-110 and 117-111. And everyone saw what I did to
Mijares on November 1. Arce is going to be my human piñata. It
will be like a Chihuahua going against a bull...a raging bull!"
Added Gary Shaw, Darchinyan's promoter, "I think Arce has been
chewing on Agave-spiked lollipops for him to be making this
career-ending challenge. We may request Arce take a breathalyzer
test before signing the contracts. I'm taking no chances with
this Spanish Fly."
Darchinyan, the former IBF/IBO flyweight champion, unified his
IBF junior bantamweight title with Mijares' WBC/WBA super
flyweight belts on November 1, knocking him out at the end of
the ninth-round of their November 1 rumble at The Home Depot
Center. Televised live by SHOWTIME, Darchinyan became the first
man in the history of the 115-pound division to unify the three
major belts. Darchinyan's victory ended Mijares' (35-4-2, 13
KOs), two-year title run and nine-bout winning streak
