Darchinyan: the next great flyweight?
I just watched the fight between Darchinyan and Maldonado and Darchinyan looked like a beast...TKO in the 8th..I've seen him fight before and the results were pretty much the same....He is even talking about going up in weight...jr bantamweight or bantamweight...said he just built the shelves in his home to hold the 12 titles...I think he might be able to pull it off...I know he leaves himself open which will make fights very interesting, but he doesn't seem to be affected by the punches......opinions?

This guy can fight in the 118's and maybe more and he is a Retro boxer, deserves recognition and he is to fun to watch.

I know...It's been a long time since I've seen a small guy with so much power....I think it will follow him as he goes up in weight....I look forward to his next fight....
Re: Darchinyan: the next great flyweight?
I really wanna see Darchinyan vs Arce.
Could be the greatest Flyweight match in a long time, maybe ever. ;)

Darchinyan has been bringing up Arce's name lately...and it would be one heck of a fight....I'd buy that one on PPV...

The latest WBC rankings for June list Arce as the No 1 contender for the WBC Super Flyweight Title. So maybe he is challenging for that title soon, and is no longer the Interim WBC Flyweight Champ.
Re: Darchinyan: the next great flyweight?
Arce is moving up in weight soon and I think it would be a great fight too but I think Arce neutralises his power with the sheer number of power punches he throws, Darchinyan is very very powerful but leaves himself far too open.
Re: Darchinyan: the next great flyweight?
Vics got some work to do, no doubt about that. But he is a serious chance against Arca. Vics got tremendous power in both hands and im yet to seem him in a boring fight. His style just wont allow it. :boxingmatch:
Re: Darchinyan: the next great flyweight?
Can arce hurt vic is the question....i havent seen him hurt yet and even if you can outbox him like pacheco did most of the time...vic will always catch up with ya.

and it think that's where the real fight begins...it would be exciting...
Re: Darchinyan: the next great flyweight?
He looked a bit wild, but he also looked invincible and he was throwing some incredibly hard shots. It's the first time I've seen a fighter floor himself by missing a punch in such a dramatic fashion!

Go watch Lennox Lewis-Shannon Briggs. The fight was stopped after Briggs missed a punch and fell. As for, Darchinyan? He looked very immpressive. But I think Arce body attack would break him down and stop him late in a very exciting fight.

yea but it's only effective if he wears you down and stops you late, I don't think he'd do that to Arce.
