Boxing: Vic Darchinyan vs. Rodrigo Guerrero on March 6
Showtime will be keeping boxing on the airwaves on March 6, bumping
Vic Darchinyan into the main event of what is now a "special" ShoBox
card, according to foreign media reports.
Darchinyan (33-2-1, 27 KO) will defend the WBC and WBA junior
bantamweight titles against Rodrigo Guerrero (13-1-1, 9 KO), a fringe
contender at best who has fought in a 12-round contest just once in
his career, beating Juan Alberto Rosas by split decision in 2008. His
best win came against Luis Maldonado (UD-8) last year. Darchinyan beat
Maldonado back in 2006, and before fighting Guerrero, the Mexican had
been stopped in back-to-back fights against Nonito Donaire and
Fernando Montiel.
So to say Guerrero is a bit of an unfit challenger on paper is
probably an understatement. On paper, he doesn’t belong in the ring
with Darchinyan. It wasn’t even a good co-feature, and it’s a terrible
main event.
Now in the co-feature, Australian Leonardo Zappavigna (22-0, 15 KO)
will meet Fernando Angulo (22-6, 14 KO).
