Darchinyan ducking Montiel?

http://www.fightnews.com/fightnews_2...uOfpeRlEZ.html

According to Golden Boy Promotions matchmaker Eric Gomez, Darchinyan must not have been informed of an offer to face WBO super flyweight champion Fernando Montiel. "We offered a bout between Fernando Montiel and Vic Darchinyan," said Gomez, "and Gary Shaw turned it down. He said Darchinyan didn't want to fight Montiel."

I wouldn't blame him. We both know Darchiniyan would get embarassed big time by Montiel and his ali shuffle ;D

First time we agree on something George!! ;)

I ain't surprised BUT let's wait a few hours before we get Shaws respond which will be something like 'We were never informed of that, Vics a great champ. and he nevers turns a fight down. We are more then ready to face Montiel if the numbers are right for Vic and we feel it's a fair deal we'll make it happen until now I have yet to receive any notices".

Something like that.... and so begins the he said, she said storys... ::**

So true, Montiel has been saying he wants to break from GB. Montiel only fought once in 06 & only was so far this year so I don't blame him for wanting to leave. With that sort of activity I seriously doubt GB tried to make the fight.

Last I heard Vic was saying he already beat Fernando's brother & he'll bet him as well. Doesn't sound like ducking to me.

Plus what does it say at the bottom of the article. "Yeah I'll fight Darchinyan" not "Yeah I was ready to fight Darchinyan"

Alot of people dont rate VD because of his style but he clearly has something !!!

He looks amatuerish at time ( ive only seen him twice ) but he has sustance and power is fit and cuts of the ring well .

Montiel flatters to decieve he's been beaten before it would be a tricky fight but i wouldnt understand or believe any reason why he'd be ducking Montiel !!

Montiel is a stylish fighter but he does switch off and i could see VD breaking him down.

Agree with you here, it's all part of the game they play to get the money right. Montiel needs a Vic win on his resume as much as Vic wants his. I don't believe the top guys in any division duck that much if the offer is right. Vic is in his 30's and for a little guy time is running out and he needs big fights.
It will happen.
