flying in round 7 as he continued forward all 12 rounds. Guerrero may have
not won many rounds but gained a moral victory by staying upright despite the
heavy shots by the champion.
“He just kept coming back. I respect him he’s a good kid. I hit him with some good punches,” Vic said of Guerrero.
When asked about moving up in weight or fighting Nonito Donaire, Darchinyan said:
“I would love to move up….I would like to see this kid (Guerrero) fight
Donaire. He’ll see what hell he would give him. I don't think he wants to fight me. He’s scared he don’t
want to. Here I have two belts (WBC/WBA) I don’t want to even mention his name. I want to move up and fight better champions.”
