Re: Next up: Vic Darchinyan - 11/1/08
that's funny. two armenians are fighting on the same night. this one was originally reported as to be fought in Las Vegas but the venue changed to the Home Depot Center in Carson, CA.
("Little big men to do battle in Carson: Cristian Mijares (36-3-16 KO’s) and Armenian Vic “Raging Bull” Darchinyan (30-1-24 KOs) will battle for Jr. Bantamweight supremacy on November 1st. Mexico’s Esto Newspaper is reporting that the fight will take place at the Home Depot Center in Carson, California. Cristian Mijraes’s WBC and WBA titles will be at stake, with Vic Darchinyan making the 1st defense of his IBF title that he won this past August.")

Darchinyan, Mijares land verbal blows before unification fight
3 hours ago
LOS ANGELES (AFP) — Australian-based Armenian Vic Darchinyan and Mexico's Cristian Mijares traded verbal blows Tuesday ahead of their fight here November 1 to decide the undisputed world boxing super-flyweight crown.
The showdown of southpaws sends International Boxing Federation champion Darchinyan, 30-1-1 with 24 knockouts, against World Boxing Council and World Boxing Association champion Mijares, 36-3 with two drawn and 15 knockouts.
"I'm going to break him in half. I will put him in the hospital. I will be ready for him," Darchinyan said.
"He doesn't have any skills. I'm going to prove he's nothing. I hope his corner is going to stop the fight because he's going to be badly damaged."
"When I finish him nobody will remember him. I will be the champion. I'm the best. I'm going to prove it on the night and all Armenians will celebrate."
Last year, Darchinyan inflicted such punishment upon Mexican Victor Burgos that he suffered a blood clot in his brain. But Darchinyan has put that behind him in moving on in his career. "I've cleared my mind of it," he said.
Darchinyan lost the IBF flyweight crown last year to Filipino Nonito Donaire last year but reclaimed the title two months ago by beating Russian Dmitri Kirilov, setting the stage for a unification matchup.
"I'm going to show what I can do with him. I'm going to destroy him badly," Darchinyan boasted. "After a few rounds, even the Mexican crowd will be supporting me. They don't like people who are just touching and running.
"I'm not only a strong fighter. I'm a smart fighter. He's overrated. He's going to be punished good. I'm going to destroy him badly."
Mijares, unbeaten in 26 fights over the past six years, countered his rival champion's taunts with calm responses.
"He's a very strong fighter. He talks a little too much," Mijares said. "I like that. It makes the fight more interesting for me. Words will not prove anything. I have more ability in the ring."
"I have no bad blood toward Darchinyan. He's the one doing all the talking. He is my opponent. There's no animosity. He just likes to talk too much. The more he talks, the more motivated I am to shut him up."
Mijares expects an edge in support from the crowd and claimed an edge when it comes to wisdom in the ring.
"He is not a smart fighter. He's just a puncher," Mijares said. "He's going to keep coming forward. I'm just going to box him.
"Intelligence will beat strength. He's thinking he's going to break me in half. I'm smart and strong. Don't be surprised if I knock out Vic Darchinyan."Between childhood, boyhood,

Darchinyan stops Mijares to unify super flyweight boxing title
47 minutes ago
LOS ANGELES (AFP) — Australian Vic Darchinyan knocked out Cristian Mijares in the ninth round here Saturday to unify the super flyweight world title in dominant style.
Darchinyan, the International Boxing Federation champion, knocked Mijares down in the first round and finished him off late in the ninth with a big left that sent the Mexican fighter to the canvas at the three-minute mark of the ninth.
Darchinyan added Mijares's World Boxing Council and World Boxing Association 115-pound (52.1kg) titles to his IBF belt, becoming the first fighter to hold all three in the class.
Armenian-born Darchinyan improved to 31-1-1, with 25 knockouts.
The 32-year-old southpaw went into the bout as an underdog, but had vowed to knock Mijares out. To that end he started aggressively and displayed power that Mijares was unable to find an answer for.
Mijares fell to 36-4-2, with 15 wins inside the distance, suffering his first defeat in 26 fights - a run stretching back to 2002.
Darchinyan was ahead on all three judges' cards when the fight ended.Between childhood, boyhood,
