VIC VOWS TO SWAT ‘FLY’

World super flyweight champion Vic Darchinyan claims defending his
titles against Jorge Arce early next year will be like "pest control".

The "Raging Bull" is on the crest of a wave right now having recently
become the first man in the history of the 115-pound division to unify
the IBF, WBC and WBA belts and will be looking to add Arce to his list
of Mexican victims on February 7.

Darchinyan (31-1-1, 25 KOs), who knocked out Cristian Mijares in the
ninth round of their bout on November 1 to walk away with all three
titles, is now relishing what he expects to be an easy contest.

The Sydney resident, by way of his native Armenia, said: "I can’t get
enough of Mexican fighters. They bounce real good off the canvas when
I hit them.

"Let’s see, I’ve stopped Cristian Mijares, Victor Burgos and Luis
Maldonado over the past two years.

"Unlike Jorge Arce, those three fighters were very tough
hombres. Defeating Arce won’t take much training. It won’t even be a
fight for me – more like pest control.

"I’m going to swat that Spanish Fly. How do you take a guy like Arce
seriously? He sucks on lollipops and wears a cowboy hat from a toy
store. He looks like ‘Woody’ from the movie ‘Toy Story’.

"I can picture him running around his house on a broom pretending he’s
riding a horse. He’s a regular Schlepalong Cassidy. When I finally
meet him at the press conference do I say "Hola Jorge" or "Howdy,
Doody"?

"Arce is going to be my human pinata. Our fight will be like a
Chihuahua against a bull…a raging bull!"
