/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The son of an Armenian Olympic wrestling coach,
Darchinyan finally landed an opponent last Friday in the form of
Mexican Rodrigo Guerrero.
To defend his WBA and WBC world title belts, Darchinyan intends to
mix up his training regimen to try to improve his already brutal
punching power.
Gone are the heavy sessions in the gym bench-pressing 120kg and doing
hundreds of push-ups with his feet elevated on top of one corner of
the ring.
Instead, the Sydney Olympian has been working with world champion
discuss thrower Dani Samuels to improve the fast-twitch muscle fibres
and explosive power in his legs.
Parramatta Eels conditioning gurus Hayden Knowles and Craig Catterick
are supervising the new lower-body program.
"Vic doesn't need to work on his upper body, boxing is enough for
him in terms of maintenance there," Knowles said. "But by working
on the power from his legs, we believe we can increase his power
quite considerably."
Darchinyan's manager Elias Nasser admitted the assignment of finding
fights was tough because of Darchinyan's fearsome reputation, The
Sunday Telegraph reported.
Vakhtang Darchinyan (born 7 January, 1976 in Vanadzor, Armenia) is a
professional boxer who is the current WBA, WBC unified Super Flyweight
World Champion. Darchinyan was also formerly the IBF and IBO champion
of the flyweight division and briefly reigned as the IBO's super
flyweight champion also. He is a southpaw boxer, who currently trains
under Billy Hussein, brother of boxers Nedal and Hussein Hussein.
Previously, he was trained by former 3-division world champion,
Jeff Fenech in Sydney.
