Darchinyan to destroy Arce, experts say

PanARMENIAN.Net - World Super Flyweight Champion Vic "Raging Bull" Darchinyan will defend his unified junior bantamweight titles against Jorge Arce at the Honda Center in Anaheim, Calif., on Feb. 7 in the season premiere of "Showtime Championship Boxing."



"If I were Arce's team, I'd MapQuest the quickest routes from the Honda Center to John Wayne Airport so he can get out of town fast," said Darchinyan from his Las Vegas-based training camp.



"As my promoter Gary Shaw said, they decided to serve "Chicken a la Arce" two weeks early. What a shock. Mexicans are great fighters. Arce is a disgrace to all of them. He is a clown. He should change his ring name from 'Travieso' to 'Travesty' because that's what he is. I promise that I will demolish him just like I demolished Mijares. I will let him be a coward for the first two rounds where he can run around the ring. He can even wear his stupid cowboy hat. But after that, I am going to be on him like a mongoose on a cobra. He does not stand a chance. Interim Champion is the perfect description of his so-called title reign," he said.



In every which way you look at this fight, it seems like Arce, 29, has little chance at winning. Indeed, this fight seems like a fight destined to be a terrible mismatch with Darchinyan ultimately destroying Arce, specialists say.

Head of Red Stars Boxing head and Darchinyan's former manager Eduard Humashian forecasts Vic's victory with a sixth-round knock-out.



Meanwhile, Arce pretends to be confident of his victory.



"He thinks he's an intimidator. He always tells people what he will do and they get intimidated. But, I'm not that type of guy. His words won't affect me. He can say and talk about what he is going to do to me in the ring, but I'm not going to fold. I'm a bigger guy than him. He won't intimidate me," he said.
