MANILA — Vic "The Raging Bull" Darchinyan vowed to "break" Filipino
champ Nonito Donaire should they face again sometime in the future to
avenge his loss during their first meeting. Darchinyan, who currently
holds the World Boxing Association (WBA), World Boxing Council (WBC)
and International Boxing federation (IBF) super flyweight titles,
maintained his hateful stance against Donaire. "If I meet him [again],
I’m gonna break him," he told sports writer Dennis Principe over
Sports Chat radio show in dzSR. The Australian-based Armenian said he
has fought better fighters than Donaire, who knocked him out in five
rounds in July 2007. "I fought better guys than him. I went to the
Philippines and fought Z-Gorres… then I took three world champions,
I knocked out all of them," said Darchinyan.
Darchinyan said his loss to Donaire is nothing but a fluke. "He beat
me by my mistake… that happens in boxing," he said. Donaire is
currently campaigning in the super flyweight division and even eyeing
a rematch with Darchinyan after three successful IBF/International
Boxing Organization title defenses in flyweight. He is scheduled to
fight Rafael "El Torito" Concepcion on August 15. "He can come back
and face my oppositions," said Darchinyan. "I mentioned Z-Gorres,
[Dimitri] Kirilov, [Jorge] Arce and [Cristian] Mijares. If he can beat
one of them, I’m gonna fight [him]." Darchinyan himself is preparing
for a clash with Joseph Agbeko on July 11. The fight, however, will
be for Agbeko’s IBF bantamweight title.
