Donaire to Darchinyan: if you go up against me, goodnight

PanARMENIAN.Net - After Vic Darchinyan celebrated a win over Yohnny Perez of Columbia, talks surfaced about his rematch against WBO/WBC bantamweight champion Nonito Donaire.

Last year Donaire and Darchinyan were in negotiations for a rematch. The fight fell through after it appeared to be close to being finalized. Team Darchinyan claimed that Donaire didn't want the fight and that he waited to long to sign the contract. Darchinyan signed a contract to face Joseph Agbeko instead.

Donaire insists that it was Darchinyan who really didn't want the fight and just used that as an excuse. "There were still three months before the fight was going to happen. Don't give me that crap about I am taking to long to sign. The first time I fought him I signed the day of the weigh in so don't give me that, I signed too late bull crap. We still had three months. He just didn't want to fight me at that time," he told BoxingScene.

"If he goes up against me it will be the same thing. The same story. If he goes up against me, goodnight," Donaire said.
