By Chris Williams: 37-year-old Vic Darchinyan (38-5-1, 27 KO’s) thinks WBO super bantamweight champion Nonito Donaire is ducking him, and he believes he’ll beat him if he agrees to face him. Donaire’s team had been thinking about facing Darchinyan next if they weren’t able to line up a unification fight against WBA super bantamweight champion Guillermo Rigondeaux, but they were able to agree to a fight against the Cuban on April 13th in New York.
It looks like Darchinyan didn’t take the news too well judging by his comments. Darchinyan said to fightnews.com “Nonito got lucky in 2007, but it would be a different result in 2013. Prove that you’re not scared of me…Prove to me you’re not chicken.”
