Darchinyan Says His Power Will Overwhelm Agbeko
By Mark Vester
Many experts are curious if undisputed super flyweight champion Vic Darchinyan (32-1, 26KOs) has met his match when he moves up to bantamweight to challenge IBF title holder Joseph Agbeko (26-1, 22KOs). The fight takes place on July 11 in Florida.
Agbeko has power and Darchinyan's chin has been cracked in the past. Darchinyan says the power of Agbeko is nothing to worry about. He plans to check Agbeko's chin and when he does, he says the champion will cover up in a shell and look for ways to survive the fight.
"Everyone is saying he (Agbeko) is a good puncher and a strong puncher, but I don't think his punches are anything to worry about," Darchinyan told AAP. "
Because when he feels my punches everything is going to be different for him, he's just going to cover up and look for survival. I can see he has many knockouts, but sometimes he's knocked out guys who have not had too many wins."
The feeling goes both ways, during a recent press release it was Agbeko who said Darchinyan's punching power was nothing to worry about. Agbeko says Darchinyan is not the strongest fighter to come in his path.
"I've seen stronger fighters than Darchinyan, I respect him for what he has accomplished, but I don't think he has the true heart to beat me and take my punches," Agbeko said.
