vic darchinyan is fighting for the vacant IBO superflyweight title on Sat 20th October in Sydney against Federico Catubay (20 wins 11kos with 13 losses (stopped 7 times) and 3 draws


looks like he's taken a considerable step down in opposition.still a title.. even a paper one should help in the long run. will be good for some aussies to get to see him fight. :boxing:

depending what the undercard is like, i might pop into the city and see that one.

ill be expecting a full report if you do :D

you'd definitely want a good undercard.. dont know how long the main event will last.. this guy has already been stopped a few times..

Where is it? Will it be on US TV? Doubt it. This will last about 2 rounds at best. This is a real drop down in quality of opponents for Vic. I don't understand why he'd even bother paying the IBO fee.

Hopefully he's a guinea pig to test out some new defensive skills, because if he doesn't find some he's always going to run the risk of getting floored too easily again.

woftam, i remember before the KO everyone had vic's chin classified as pure granite.. how would u rate it now? i mean that was a great shot so i dont know if it's a liability but he's obviously not as invincible as most of us thought.

I don't know mate - all his opponents were scared of him before, but I think they will give themselves a bigger chance now. It's not his chin I'm concerned about, it's the fact he seems to show no capabilities defensively.

a relatively important part of boxing :fing02:

Vic's fighting at the Auburn RSL. Great, no doubt the showtime crew will be there.

I was getting sick of the MGM. LOL. This fight is being promoted by Gary Shaw Productions but it will be on FOX Sports. I'm happy this isn't PPV.
