Can Victor Ortiz give more than is reasonable? E-mail
Wednesday, 01 July 2009

by bodysnatcher bodysnatcher - Max Kellerman put it nicely this past Saturday when he said "In our sport, unlike other sports, we ask of our fighters to give more than is reasonable." The reality is that we do expect more out of our athletes than they do in other sports.

 

Tiger Woods was called the toughest athlete recently because he had to walk a golf course with a hurt leg, as fight fans we were outraged because fight fans could provide multiple examples from our sport that would prove that Tiger might be a tough golfer, but he has nothing on our boxing heroes.

 

We do ask more than is reasonable and that's the reason we follow this sport so passionately, that's the reason we're willing to shell out $50 for fights that sometimes do not meet our expectations; because when they do, there's nothing better.
 
Vic Darchinyan and Joseph Agbeko discuss up coming fight E-mail
Wednesday, 01 July 2009

Two of the hardest-hitting boxers in the world participated in a media conference call Tuesday to discuss their upcoming world title fight on Saturday, July 11, live on SHOWTIME at 9 p.m. ET/PT (delayed on the west coast) from the BankAtlantic Center in Sunrise, Fla. This fight is in the Liverpuncher Fantasy Boxing league and you can get your predictions in here.

 

IBF Bantamweight champion Joseph “King Kong” Agbeko and two division world champion Vic “Raging Bull” Darchinyan both possess eye-popping knockout percentages. Agbeko (26-1, 22 KOs) of Accra, Ghana, now fighting out of Bronx, N.Y., has knocked out more than 81 percent of his opponents while Darchinyan (32-1, 26 KOs), of Sydney, Australia, by way of Armenia, is right behind him at 76 percent.

 

Darchinyan, an Aussie bomber who is a four-time world champion at flyweight and super flyweight, will leave his IBF, WBC and WBA titles at 115 pounds behind to move up to the 118-pound limit to face the dangerous Agbeko. If victorious, Darchinyan will become a three-division world champion.

 

The following are highlights from what they had to say about their upcoming fight:

Is Victor Ortiz the next “Golden Boy” or the next Panchito Bojado? E-mail
Sunday, 28 June 2009

A new boxing star was born this weekend.  Unfortunately for the Golden boy, it was the wrong guy. This weekend was supposed to be a showcase fight.  A fight in the Mecca of west coast boxing, the Staples Center, with Victor Ortiz to make his grand showing to the masses. Well it didn’t exactly work out that way.  The KO loss this weekend of boxing's top prospect showed that Ortiz is indeed human and posed lots of questions about the future of the "heir apparent."  Is Victor Ortiz the next Golden boy or will he become the next Panchito Bojado?
