Darchinyan to go for Donaire sweep
:banana:
By Mario Ortega Jr.
Vic Darchinyan has a July 7th Showtime date set, tenatively in Las Vegas. 15rounds.com has learned that the challenger will be Nonito Donaire Jr., 16-1 (9KO's) of San Leandro, CA by way of General Santos City, Phillipines. According to Donaire himself, the contracts have been faxed, and are just awaiting his signature. Donaire has a bout set for this Saturday, which will still take place, against Kevin Hudgins at the Reno Events Center in Reno,
NV.
Obviously it is imparitive that Donaire come out of this bout without any cuts or other injures. Donaire was expecting to take on WBC Super Flyweight titlist Cristian Mijares on the undercard of a Darchinyan bout. Unexpectedly, Donaire was offered a title bout against Darchinyan instead, for the IBF & IBO Flyweight titles. Donaire will be attempted to avenge a technical decision loss by his older brother Glenn on October 10, 2006. Donaire has not fought below the flyweight limit since 2002. Mijares is still expected to appear on the undercard, possibly to set up a future showdown against Darchinyan. Donaire hopes to spoil their plans the first weekend of July on Showtime.
He was an unknown entity then, only pinoy fans who saw gorres KTFO his brother glen knew him then. :D
First I saw Donaire was on the Darch fight. I was expecting another rooster-hand knockout thing by The Raging Bull. I didn't expect to see 2007 KO of the year the other way around.
the posts on the 1st page were epic, everyone was calling nonito a bum :lol1:

What about Darchynian vs Gorres? that would be good but from what i hear it's going to be Vic vs the other Donaire.
Don't know whose has better punch but i prefer Gorres to face Montiel again. Gorres did a great job against Montiel even with the 2 dedecution points by the ref.
Somebody posted in here before Glen Donaire fought Vic, that the Nonito has a better chance of beating Vic, than Glen. Not saying Nonito will beat Vic, but from what that member said, Nonito has more heart and better skills that his brother Glen. I hope that is true cuz Nonito will need all of that in order to beat Vic.
Don't know much about the coming World Cup in Philippines(besides the Bautista-De Leon fight), but a rematch between Montiel and Gorres instead of Montiel facing Vic.

What happen with Montiel VS Darchinyan? Montiel said he was willing to fight him since Vic's been bullshiting that nobodys wants to fight him.

With you on that one, bro. I think Arce would fight him now, he needs to a big fight to prove himself after his last loss.
I completely agree. It would be nice if those two would finally fight.
Vic should stop fighting bums.
