Darchinyan vs Mijares

[Brute]

Vic was the IBO champion. When he announced his intention to fight for the IBF title, the IBO went looking for another champ. The WBA has already gone the "interim" route (Jorge Arce TKO4 Isidro Garcia, today, Mandalay Bay, they do not frig around). We are back in the alphabet soup.

[convict]

Yeah Arce is where the money is @. Donaire lives in the shadow of Vic - he dont deserve to get any money $$$ for a rematch.
If so i would expect the purse to be %15(or less) to pino and %85 to Vic.
The WBO Champ is fighting tomorrow so i cant say anything about him untill i see the fight He has a good record - It might be a good $$$$ cash fight.

[Brute]

Montiel is fighting at bantamweight tomorrow. It is not a title fight, maybe he is thinking of moving up again. He previously lost an attempt at Jhonny Gonzalez for the WBO Bantamweight title.

[JSA]

great result for Vic. Seems he has worked on his flaws-or is at least controlling them ie no lungeing.like to see him in with Arce but a win for Vic i am sure. would love him to revenge his loss though.

[Sweet P]

Im picking Vik, He would have learnt a lot from his loss. Now he is training with his original trainer in Anmenia i reckon he will cause a big upset by KO.

I hate to say i told you so 8) 8)

[Bentley23]

great win i love vic and i love that 90% of the current scene picked mijares once again go vic!

[JSA]

even funnier that only Paul Upham of the secondsout "experts" picked Vic. seems Mijares though was classy in defeat at press conference.seriously wonder if perhaps Vic got in his head with his prefight talk and altered the way he approached the fight.

[p4p1]

It was the WBA,WBC and IBF, no IBO or WBO was on offer. More importantly he gets the Ring Magazine number 1.

he should be the ring magazine S/FlW champ now shouldnt he?

i think vic is real good at getting in peoples heads and it makes some people dislike him but it seems to work!

[Marlin]

The best thing was that it wasn't a lucky KO, Vic dominated the fight start to finish. It will be interesting what the 'experts' say in the lead up to his next fight...

admit it....you don't hate telling us at all. in fact i would say you are rubbing our collective noses in it. :P

should be..he is now the lineal champ.
Is Arce next for him. didn't he fight for an interim Sfly title on the weekend?

Well done Vic.

It takes a very special champion to come back from a KO and then go onto bigger and better things.

Darchinyan joins lucrative fight club

November 3, 2008 - 7:39PM

Vic Darchinyan has smashed his way into boxing's million dollar fight club.

The Sydney-based brawler's world-title unification demolition of Mexican glamour boy Cristian Mijares in Los Angeles on Sunday has two of America's big-paying TV networks, ESPN and Showtime, clamouring to broadcast his next fight.

They see him as a marketing dream.

Inside the ring Darchinyan is a knockout specialist providing all-action bouts and outside he is equally vicious, generating plenty of headlines by trash-talking his opponents.

Darchinyan, after a late night of celebrations at an LA restaurant with 200 friends and family, says he will return to the ring in March with a super fight organised by his American promoter, Gary Shaw, and Australian manager, Elias Nasser.

His criteria for opponents is simple.

Darchinyan wants to stock his trophy cabinet with as many world-title belts he can get his powerful hands on and is willing to climb to higher weight divisions.

"I will only fight champions," Darchinyan told AAP.

"If they have a belt I want them."

Darchinyan's ninth round knockout of Mijares gave him ownership of the World Boxing Council, World Boxing Association and International Boxing Federation super fly-weight belts, but defending the titles against mandatory defences is not his priority.

Money and belts are.

"Every fight from here on is going to be a very big payday," Nasser, who spoke with Showtime and ESPN executives after the bout, said.

"We're in seven figures a fight now."

The only major belt in the super fly-weight division Darchinyan does not own is the World Boxing Organisation title and he said he was keen to take on WBO champ, Mexican Fernando Montiel.

After crushing Mijares, Darchinyan stood in the ring and called out boxing's biggest payday, Oscar De La Hoya, whose opponents earn up to $US15 million ($A22.3 million) to show up in the ring.

Nasser said another fighter Darchinyan was keen to fight was an equally prolific trash-talker, Mexico's Jorge Arce, who has dodged Darchinyan for years.

"I want to rest until the end of the year and from January I'll go back to my gym and start training," Darchinyan said.

"My manager will start working on the next fight this week.

"I only want to fight for the world title.

"I don't want to defend.

"If any world champion wants to fight me, I am ready."

Stepping up several weight divisions is not a deterrent to Darchinyan because the only sparring partners willing to work with him are larger fighters, including Australian welterweight Lovemore N'Dou.

"Vic knocks out all of the sparring partners near his weight class so he's used to sparring the bigger guys like Lovemore," Nasser said.

Darchinyan is scheduled to arrive back in Sydney on Wednesday morning

welterwieght ehhh... perhaps a little ambitious.

I see you picked up on Vic's rather large dose of stupidity

[Autobarn]

I think he was joking about DLH. The writer of the article didn't seem to pick up on it. Great win for Vic, great fighter.

I'd love to see Darchinyan v Arce. That would bring big money at lower weights even though Arce has no major belt.

Looks like Donaire II won't happen, according to Vic's US promoter.

Full unification with Montiel sounds tasty. Montiel can be very on and off. He can be brilliant one night, and yet can go into a shell in his biggest fights.

Let's say Vic dominates super fly. Will he go for a 3rd weight world title, at bantam? There don't seem to be any really big names at bantam. Moreno, Penalosa, Hasegawa, Agbeko - not well known.

Will Vic jump up to super bantam & get himself knocked out by someone like Vazquez or Juanma Lopez??

I think Vic likes having journos on. He would probably say he could beat the Klitschkos to see if some idiot would print it.

He has a very dry sense of humour.
