/PanARMENIAN.Net/ WBA/WBC super flyweight champion Vic Darchinyan
(32-2, 26KOs) is very interested in setting up a unification bout with
newly crowned WBO champion Marvin Sonsona (14-0, 12KOs). Sonsona
won the title on Friday with a twelve round decision over Jose
Lopez. International matchmaker and promoter Sampson Lewkowicz
introduced Manny Pacquiao to America. He promotes Sonsona under his
promotional company, Sampson Boxing.

Last week, Lewkowicz made a brief visit to the Little Italy section
of Manhattan. During that visit I sat down with Lewkowicz to discuss
the potential of Sonsona. He predicted a statement would be made in
Ontario and called him the next Filipino sensation. Sonsona made good
on the promise of a statement. Lewkowicz told me that big opportunities
await Sonsona in 2010. Darchinyan wants to be that opportunity.

Darchinyan has fought more than a few Filipino fighters. He
stopped Glenn Donaire in 2006. Nonito Donaire avenged his brother
by knocking Darchinyan out in 2007, and the "Raging Bull" fought to
a controversial draw with Z Gorres in 2008. He returns on December 5
with a title defense against Tomasz Rojas. Sonsona will make the first
defense of his title on the tentative date of November 21 in Ontario,
