World super flyweight champion Vic “Raging Bull” Darchinyan is ready to give WBA interim super flyweight champion Jorge Arce, 51-4-1 (38) a shot at his titles.
Darchinyan, 31-1-1 (25), from Sydney, Australia by way of his native Vanadzok, Armenia, responded to the challenge Arce made to him today.
“The last real ring test Arce had was against Cristian Mijares in 2007 and we all know how that ended. It was a murderous unanimous decision victory for Mijares, scored 119-109, 118-110 and 117-111. And everyone saw what I did to Mijares on November 1.”
Darchinyan, the former IBF/IBO flyweight champion, unified his IBF junior bantamweight title with Mijares’ WBC/WBA super flyweight belts on November 1, knocking him out at the end of the ninth-round of their November 1 rumble at The Home Depot Center.
Darchinyan became the first man in the history of the 115-pound division to unify the three major belts.&nbs p;Darchinyan’s victory ended Mijares’ two-year title run and nine-bout winning streak.
