Doghouse Decides Vic Darchinyan vs Victor Burgos
COMPILED By Benny Henderson Jr (March 3, 2007) Doghouse Boxing
Coming at ya from the Home Depot Center in Carson, Ca, live only on
Showtime boxing 9:00 PM ET/PT a potential fight of the year candidate
is at hand when the reigning WBC Super Welterweight champion Israel
Vazquez 41-3 (30 KO’s) defends his world title strap against the
tough Mexican ring warrior Rafael Marquez 36-3 (32 KO’s) in a
122-pound championship clash.
Opening up the show, the undefeated Armenian Vic Darchinyan 27-0 (21
KO’s) puts his IBF and IBO Flyweight titles on the line against the
former world champ Victor Burgos 39-14-3 (23 KO’s) in a scheduled
twelve round flyweight fight.
Who wins?
Vic Darchinyan vs Victor Burgos

Vic Darchinyan may not be the best in his division but he’s damn well
up there. If The Ring’s Championship Policy allowed an instance for
the third-ranked Darchinyan to face the number one ranked Pongsaklek
Wongjongkam for the vacant Ring World Championship at 112 pounds, I
think we would be treated to a much more satisfying battle. Well,
I’ll take what I can get because `The Raging Bull’ gets the
eighth-ranked Victor Burgos instead (in a battle of the `Vics’?) on
the under card of the Israel Vazquez-Rafael Marquez main event
telecast. Is it necessary to get wordy on this particular prediction?
Nope. Reason being that Burgos knows how to lose. He lost his first
four fights and loses every important title fight he’s ever
participated in. Vic Darchinyan’s only bragging rights in winning
this fight are simple. He keeps his IBF flyweight belt and he beats a
cat with experience. The Australian-based Armenian trounces `El
Acorazado’ in six.

To be brutally honest I do not know much on these two, so I’m rooting
for the ref!

This is a good under card bout for a great night on Showtime.
Darchinyan has incredible power and is one of the most exciting
fighters in the sport. Burgos doesn’t have the best record but has
great experience in facing the likes of Jorge Arce, Jake Matlala,
Eric Morel, and Rosendo Alvarez among others. He even beat Arce
although Jorge Arce wasn’t nearly the same fighter that we see today.
Burgos will do well but Darchinyan has too much power and should
stop him around the 7th round.

Vic Darchinyan is younger, fresher, bigger and stronger. He’ll
knockout
Burgos in the early rounds.

Darchinyan is unfortunately in the ring with another ordinary, though
once-great, fighter since others in his division want nothing to do
with him. Burgos was once a formidable champion but that was years
ago. Unless he pulls out one last rabbit out of the hat, Darchinyan
will torture him.
