PanARMENIAN.Net - Vic Darchinyan (37-3-1, 27 KO) still doesn't think
there's anything special about Panama's Anselmo Moreno (31-1-1, 11
KO), the WBA's super champion at 118 pounds. The confident Armenian
slugger sees Moreno, a fellow southpaw, as a minor obstacle in his
path toward rematches against Abner Mares or Joseph Agbeko, both of
whom out-pointed Darchinyan in closely contested bantamweight title
fights, BoxingScene.com reports.
"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."
The Darchinyan-Moreno match will be the co-featured fight of a
"Showtime Championship Boxing" card Dec. 3 from Honda Center in
Anaheim, Calif. A rematch between Mares (22-0-1, 13 KO), of Montebello,
Calif., and Ghana's Agbeko (28-3, 22 KO) will be the main event
that night.
