Darchinyan-Joseph "King Kong" Agbeko

[Cortez The Killer]

No matter what you think of Vic's personality you have to respect where he's went in his career since losing to Nonito Who?

Now he's moving up to 118 to face fellow power-puncher Joesph Agbeko.

Should be a classic chess match

Brilliant move by Vic, the fight is very winable for him.

Agbekos a good fighter but Vic will win this one that will make him a 3 division champ.
Don't like the guy much but Shaws def. handling this right...

[JazMerkin]

I'm hopin Agbeko batters him, although in all honesty I can't see it, Vic can be just too difficult inside the ring and I reckon he catches Joseph eventually.

Vic is the man if he wins this fight. Who won't Vic fight? He has challenged every major player at around his weight. And rumor has it he wants Vasquez? Geez...

[Cortez The Killer]

I have not seen Agbeko but he is ranked #5 at bantam by ring.

I like Vic, he is going on search and destroy missions lately. Moving up in weight and not backing down from good opp..

If he gets past Agbeko and can get a fight with a war-torn Vasquez at 122 he has a possibility of making himself a 4 division champ.

Timing is everything..

Looking forward to see what the future holds for him.

Well to be fair both Izzy & Rafa have take out a lot of eachother I sadly say that just about anyone will beat them as I feel neither fighter will be the same...

Now Vic takes on Hozumi or Celestino then that's saying something.

You know...Vic may be one of the most arrogant self stroking guys around to day.But I absolutely respect him for taking all comers and backing his words with actions.

Maybe its the adult beverages and the late hour....But I think Agbeko beats him .I know,I know King Kong is short on defense,squares up and leans in on guys,he is insulted at the mere suggestion of "move your head",and was in a rough back & forth battle with Gonzalez last outing but my first instinct is seeing his willing recklessness and huge volume with legit pop getting Vic all out of rhythm and legs all crossed up .Agbeko will take some hits but I think his output beats Vics counter shots.It may just come down to chins.This fight will be fiery from the opening bell and non stop until one is answering "four" to the question of 'how many fingers'.

[Majesty]

never heard of the guy he's fighting. But respect for moving up.

[Galaxy]

Huge props to both guys for making this fight!

Agbeko is a tough, very entertaining fighter & their styles have the potential to clash in explosive fashion!

I see no possible way this goes the distance...

As a Raging Bull fan I gotta back Darchinyan but Agbeko will be there or there abouts the whole way!!!

[Andre]

Whos the bigger man naturally ? I'll go with him, if you all think they are that evenly matched.

[johnsebastianmiran]

From what I've seen of Vic the last couple of years I'm voting Vic. We know what he's made of.

[No Contest]

I saw this listed under upcoming fights, later in the year. I am going to go ahead now and pick Agbeko before everyone else. Agbeko will bring it to Darchinyan, King Kong will squash the Raging Bull. You heard it here first.

I hope you're right. 'Never seen Agbeko fight, but King Kong is pretty intimidating nickname. We'll see.
