Sport Update: 2011-12-03 00:40:18 (GMT +04:00)
Vic Darchinyan is scheduled to fight Panamanian Anselmo Moreno
(31-1-1, 11 KOs) in a 12-round WBA Super World bantamweight title
fight on Saturday, December 3, 2011 at the Honda Center in Anaheim,
California. Moreno, who was elevated to super champion will be making
his 9th title defense when he steps into the ring with current IBO
bantamweight champion Vic Darchinyan. Also fighting on the Showtime
PPV card will be Abner Mares vs Joseph Agbeko in an IBF bantamweight
title rematch. The winner of Moreno vs Darchinyan will be in line for
a unification fight with the winner of Mares vs Agbeko.
Vic Darchinyan doesn't think there's anything special about Panama's
Moreno, the WBA's super champion at 118 pounds. He sees Moreno as a
minor obstacle in his path toward rematches against Abner Mares or
Joseph Agbeko.
"He's a good fighter," Darchinyan said of Moreno, who has won four of
his last seven bouts by 12-round split decisions. "He's not a warrior.
He's not coming to win the fight. He's kind of a defensive fighter.
He's looking to win every round. He just wants to win the fight.
"I don't think he's a very exciting fighter because he just goes
round-by-round. I'm just going to be too strong for him. He's bigger
than me, maybe body-wise. He's taller. But we will see. I'm very
prepared for this fight and he's not going to be [better] than me. I'm
going to be too strong for him."
"I have to be patient," Darchinyan said. "I'm not going to rush. We
saw that already [in my fight] with Agbeko. I just wanted to knock him
out in the first round. I was very, very impatient. I was not
controlling myself, because I wanted to knock him out. It's not going
to happen anymore."
