Burgos in bad way after Darchinyan fight

[Big Jack]

The California Athletic Commission has compiled a complete report on the tragic Darchinyan-Burgos fight. Burgos has been left in a very sad way. Maybe Vic Darchinyan or his promoter could help him out financially.

For the injury he sustained he has made an incredible recovery, according to the article he's walking and talking fine, and recently attended a boxing event, which is great news. He's a lucky man.

He sounds like a good comeback fight for Jorge Arce, that's about the only kind of opponent he can look good against :P

Happy to hear hes out of the hospital. He may be in rough shape and boxing is now in his past, but in perspective hes a young guy and he can still live his life after this tragedy. Good luck to him.

Oh come on you just know if he fought at welter weight Jermain Taylor would be eyeing him up for his next defense.

My recent read from ESB:

Darchinyan, of Sydney, Australia, by way of Armenia, is making the seventh defense of his IBF crown and sixth defense of his IBO belt. In his last outing, he successfully retained his titles with a one-sided 12th-round TKO over former world champion Victor Burgos May 3, 2007, on SHOWTIME.

Immediately after the fight, an unconscious Burgos was taken away by ambulance to a hospital where he spent several days.

“Like everyone, I was scared at the beginning but was very relieved once I found out Burgos was OK,’’ Darchinyan said.

A pint-sized powerhouse with dynamite in either mitt, Darchinyan, 31, is a flyweight with seemingly supernatural slugging ability as evidenced by 22 of 28 of his wins coming by knockout.

He has registered KOs in nine of his last 10 starts, including five of six in title defenses. Ironically, the one successful title defense that did not end by stoppage came against Glenn Donaire, brother of Nonito, who lost by 10th-round technical decision. So, two obvious questions going into this one are: will “The Lord of the Flys” take out revenge for the sin of his brother not succumbing by knockout, or will Nonito be inspired to regain his family’s honor by besting his brother’s conqueror?

“I do not want to just win,” said Darchinyan. “I want to draw attention to the good fighters in the lower weight classes and the best way I know to do that is to win all my fights by knockout.’’

The cocky, confident Darchinyan will fight anybody, even if it means moving up a weight class or two. “I want to unify the titles at 112 but none of the champions will fight,’’ he said. “I have challenged the best at 115 and they don’t want to fight either. If I have to move up to 118, or 122, so be it. Let’s get it on.’’

Recently named IBF Champion of the Year for 2006, Darchinyan can bench press double his body weight and thinks nothing of doing 1000 push-ups a day. But, he says, time is running out for him.

“It seems like yesterday I was fighting for Armenia at the Sydney Olympics but that was six years ago,” he said. “I am 31 now and boxers only have a short career. I'm hungry for as many world title belts as I can get and I don't want to waste time. Let all the world champs from flyweight to junior lightweight know that I am coming after them."

Donaire, 24, of San Leandro, Calif., by way of General Santos, Philippines, is ranked No. 6 in the World Boxing Organization, No. 7 in the WBA and No. 8 in the IBF at 115 pounds.

If triumphant, Donaire will become the 17th alum of “ShoBox: The New Generation” to capture a world title. Donaire won the North American Boxing Federation (NABF) super flyweight belt with a 10-round split decision over Kahren Harutyunyan on “ShoBox’’ on Jan. 20, 2006.

Known as “The Filipino Flash,” Donaire is an intriguing talent having won 16 consecutive fights since his lone loss in March 2001, his second professional fight.

“I’ve been on a tear ever since that loss,” said Donaire. “I want to fight the best and compete for world titles. I’m young, hungry and ready to fight anybody.”

SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING’s Steve Albert and Al Bernstein will call the action from ringside with Jim Gray serving as roving reporter. The producer of the SHOWTIME telecast will be David Dinkins Jr. with Bob Dunphy directing.

I smell a big upset. I got Nonito "Flash" Donaire winning by mid-round KO.

BILBO WHY WOULD YOU EVEN SAY SOMETHING LIKE THAT......ESPECIALLY WITH SUCH A SITUATION.. ..........

I expect this from others but not you!!!!!!!!

Jermain Taylor has no intentions of fighting anyone above 140!!!!!!

I would not count Nonito out......he is pretty tough and can box......I would not be that suprised if he pulled off the upset

He sounds like a good comeback fight for Jorge Arce, that's about the only kind of opponent he can look good against :P

Dude your one sick F*** you know that, but in a good way

Oh come on you just know if he fought at welter weight Jermain Taylor would be eyeing him up for his next defense.

Vic the Lil' fuck3r is 31 years old and still untested. He wants to move up in weight but his division has some elite fighters that he never encounter yet.

R.Marquez, Vasquez, or R.Bautista would fwock him up big time.

What about that little weird Road Trip dude who fucked up Arce? Mijares, I tell you the fact that he's not only a world champion but also beat the biggest superstar at the weight is one of the biggest indictements against boxing today.

He looks like he should be in the special olympics. If Vic fought and lost to him I'd never watch a fight under 120 lbs again.

I'd rather watch two dwarfs go at it
