    Darchinyan ready to join boxing greats


    July 12, 2009 12:00am
    DANNY Green still tenses up about the day he wrestled pocket dynamo
    Vic Darchinyan, the 56kg ball of muscle who can today become one of
    boxing's all-time greats.

    "I've never sparred with Vic but I've had a rumble with him and I
    thought I was wrestling an anaconda crossed with a wildebeest,'' Green
    said. "He's a machine. He's an angry little ant and his style is
    perfect for people to watch because he just wants to go out and
    destroy his opponent.''

    Today in Miami, Florida, Darchinyan will attempt to become the first
    Australian fighter since Jeff Fenech to win world titles in three
    different weight divisions.

    In the often shady world of boxing, this bout against IBF bantamweight
    champion Joseph "King Kong'' Agbeko is as real a deal as it gets.

    Forget the farcical scenes at Luna Park in Sydney at Billy Dib's sham
    last Thursday - when Dib should have been disqualified for punching
    his opponent when he was down - Darchinyan's bout will be an
    exhibition of everything good about boxing.
