By Patrick Kehoe - Bernard Hopkins and James Toney, famous for their pre-fight invectives and all out bad mouthing confessionals have NOTHING on super-flyweight rivals Vic “The Raging Bull” Darchinyan and Jorge “The Entertainer” Arce. Both guys are promising to beat the other into never-never-land, each outing the other as gender challenged in the lead up to their 115lbs. title fight, at the Honda Center in Anaheim, California.
A moody and restless Darchinyan, 31-1-1 (25KOs), doesn’t even want to bother much longer with the division he rules, giving notice of his intended destruction of the colorful Arce, 51-4-1 (39KOs), will be his last divisional slaughter before moving up to full bantamweight and eventually all the way up to Manny Pacquiao. Yes, and he’s almost serious about finding a weight class where he can fight Pacquiao. The Armenian-Australian’s rhetorical flourish of outrageous confidence being so acute, “Traveiso” Arce has to gulp back his laughter. Each thinks the other is in need of either psychological counseling or clinical intervention. Neither fighter has regard for the toughness of the other guy, mainly because they both envision themselves pummeling the other into career oblivion. For both men, winning by a knockout seems the only honorable conclusion. [details]
