This is from a recent interview on FightNews with TOP RANK promoter Bob Arum... safe to say he doesn't like Gary Shaw much.
Being that Arce wins this fight, how close can we get to an Arce-Darchinyan showdown?
We were approached by Showtime to do an Arce-Darchinyan fight and we are happy to do that fight, no problem. Top Rank has to be the promoter.
No co-promotion?
Well, he can have his name up and be involved in the officials and in that kind of stuff but he is not going to be involved in the business with me because he drives my people nuts....
Gary Shaw?
Gary Shaw just drives you nuts. Give me a break, I am not going to tolerate it, I mean, I will pay him. We would work something out and I thought that was OK, at least Showtime told me that was OK but Gary had second thoughts, so....
So that is definitely not in the works?
Hey, the door is always open, Arce would love to fight Darchinyan, love it. But there are a lot of great guys he can fight, there is Navarro, Martin Castillo, those are the guys he is going to fight, no more Lers.
Do you have any more dates with HBO lined up for Arce?
Yes, HBO has offered July 29th and Showtime has offered us July 7th.
LETS ALL HOPE THEY PUT THEIR DIFFERENCES ASIDE AND MAKE THIS FIGHT HAPPEN THIS YEAR. :boxing: :boxing:
UGLY doesn't begin to describe that hideous creature. I get goosebumps everytime I see that fucking picture. :eek:

Vic is another hussein hussein..we all know that....both have great ko records but against nobodies...we also know that gary shaw will never put vic against arce because he has a paper champion who would easily get ko'd and expose....atleast when arce fights mediocre guys it's within his weight class...vic is fighting tiny guys like burgos and pretends to be a big puncher....so if vic wants to fight it'll be in arce's terms...not gary shaws...

Another stupid post.
When Vic don't make the weight then you are entitled to say he is too big for the division. That hasn't happened so drop the beating up on little guys crap. Just once it would be nice to see an unbiased open minded post from you, but we all know that's never going to happen.
arce seems too small for vic, i dont know why. but thats how shaw likes it i think, given vic rediculous opponents, like that burgos guy that almost fuckin died. who ever thought that was a "good match" was either on acid, or a fuckin mongoloid lol..
vic should fight the winner of raph and israel..
VIC wants better opponents too, only problem is that they arnt stepping up to fight him so he is forced to fight whatever BAG Shaw puts in front of him.
This is the only fight in the extremely lower weight classes I would give a shit about. This would be a war. One superior boxer-puncher versus an unorthodox power punching machine. I would go with Arce on this by by UD if his chin can handle Vic's power.

Goodness if the fight does happen, Where will that put boxing 2007, What a good year it's been.
oh believe me i wasnt sayin it to sound proud bro, i have more class than that.
Its just the other guy was talkin about how tough Arce is, and I had to inform him that VIC is no slouch himself.
Well hell no Vic is no damn slouch.
Anyone who thinks he is needs to have their head examined. He's a monster, although I still maintain he doesn't need to fight another Burgos. That kind of match is dangerous on paper.
Agreed in that Arce needs to quit ducking Vic. But I also think if Arce doesn't give Vic a shot he should fight someone a bit more live than Burgos the next time out. He's too big and strong for 112 also IMO.

That's also nothing to be proud of.
Burgos was little more than a stationary heavy bag. That was also a gross mismatch where an undefeated prospect beat on a guy with 15 losses.

and Darchinyan is the little dude that put his last opponent in a comma for a week. :/

Yeah this would be a great fight and one many would want to see. Both guys are high action and throw power punches. Arce has been on HBO a few times, but against mediocre opponents. Darchinyan has been on Showtime a few times a not really been challenged. This fight would test both guys and excite fight fans.
