/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Joseph Agbeko faces the lethal punching Vic
Darchinyan a week on Saturday in Florida, as he makes the second
defense of his IBF bantamweight crown.
"I will give him the worst beating of his entire career. Worse than
the beating Nonito Donaire gave him," Joseph Agbeko replied when
questioned on his oncoming fight with Vic Darchinyan.
"I believe I have better skills than him and I believe I am a better
puncher than him. Vic has never fought anyone in my class before. He
has always fought guys he knew he could beat – guys he knew he could
do what he wanted to against them. But who will tell him what to do
against me? Who will show him how to beat me? He said at the press
conference that this fight will be a mismatch. It will be, with me
winning over him easily," Agbeko says.
"Vic has made a name for himself and become a world champion, but
I don’t think he’s a special fighter. Anything he can do, I can
do better and I want to prove to the world how good I am. As to my
toughest fight, my fight against William Gonzalez was the hardest
so far." (Joseph is adamant he was robbed in his sole career loss,
against Wladimir Sidorenko. Actually, Vic Darchinyan agrees with
Agbeko on this).
"A win on July 11th will be the beginning of my life as a top,
high-profile boxer. I always wanted to be one of the best fighters in
the world, and this is my chance to show it now. I have always said,
any time I face a high-profile fighter, someone they say is the best,
I perform better myself. Against the better the opponent the easier
it is for me," eastsideboxing.com cited Aghbeko as saying.
