By Jake Donovan - Clearly, July 11 cannot come quick enough for Joseph King Kong Agbeko and Vic Darchinyan.
From the moment their bantamweight fight was signed, the two lower weight ****ers have said plenty to one another, through the press, on the phone, and up close and personal.
It’s a rivalry for sure, but certainly not a friendly one, a point on which the media was once again reminded during the final pre-fight press conference Thursday afternoon at the Bank Atlantic Center in Sunrise, Florida.
The venue plays host to this weekend’s show, which airs on Showtime (Saturday, 9P ET/PT).
Rare is the occasion when Darchinyan (32-1-1, 26KO) has a kind word for any of his opponents. In a career that is now rapidly approaching its third weight class, the brash transplanted Armenian, now fighting out of Sydney, Australia, has done plenty of talking prior to just about every fight. On all but one occasion, he’s fully backed up his words in the ring. [details]
