New two-time world champion and newly-crowned IBF superfly champion
Vic Darchinyan has indicated he is ready to face conqueror Nonito
Donaire or Z Gorres "any time."
In an interview with Sportsnut.com.au, Darchinyan said he has the
power to put the lights off on Gorres and Donaire.
Donaire is the only fighter to have beaten and knocked out Darchinyan
in 32 fights, while Gorres gave him his only draw.
"I would love to fight those guys again," Darchinyan told Sportsnut.
"I believe I would knock both of them out," the brash Armenian based
in Australia stated. "I made some mistakes against Donaire that I have
fixed and I should have got the decision against Gorres in Cebu City."
Darchinyan demolished Russian Kirilov this weekend to win a world title
in a second weight division, knocking down Kirilov twice in the fifth.
He said his main target now is WBA and WBC super flyweight champion
Cristian Mijares who is scheduled to defend his titles against
Thailand's Chatchai Sasakul in Monterrey, Mexico on August 30.
In case he beats Mijares, Darchinyan is also training his sights on
WBO superfly champ Fernando Montiel before moving up in weight to
win another title in another weight division.
