    Yonnhy Perez-Vic Darchiyan- Yonnhy Perez by UD

    Alright, what was looking like an epic weekend has now lost a bit of luster, but is still good. The now main event Vic Darchinyan-Yonnhy Perez and really this fight I think is pretty easy to call, but before we get into that let's look inside the numbers of both fighters. We got the former 112 champ and the unified champ at 115. Darchinyan was a flat out beast at those weight classes knocking out fighters such as Luis Maldonado, Victor Burgos, Irene Pacheco, Cristian Mijares, and his last big win versus Jorge Arce. He also has fought and lost to Nonito Donaire, Joesph Agbeko, and Abner Mares. Two of those three fights were at 118. Then Darchinyan's skill set is all set up around his brutal, just brutal left hand. That only always keeps him in the fight. At 112 and 115 when you got smashed by that left hand you were going down or getting badly hurt. At 118, not so much. Agbeko and Mares were never hurt, and his other 118 fight was against Eric Barcelona and he managed to go the distance with Vic. So, his power really hasn't carried up. Other than that, Darchinyan doesn't have much going for him. Footwork is sloppy, no jab, bad D, below average to average chin, and Darchinyan is old at 35 years old.

    Then on the other corner is Yonnhy Perez. Resume wise Perez is lacking a bit. It has been only recently that Perez has fought notabale opposition. Silence Mabuza, Agbeko, Mares, and Agbeko again. Other than that not much. And at 32 I think he is a bit on the tail end of his career. He had his TKO win over Mabuza, and then Agbeko, but his last two fights have been less than impressive losing the tail end of the rounds against Mares, and losing to Agbeko. With all that said though, I think a fight against Darchinyan is just what the doctor ordered for Mr. Yonnhy Perez. Perez's skill set is a volume, high guard, punches in bunches, high pressure, volume...oh yea I said that, and some more volume. Yonnhy brings it and stylistically this is a nightmare for Darchiyan. Going back to Vic he has struggled at 118, and against Mares he was able to move well for the first 4 rounds are or so, but age, wear and tear, and pressure by Mares had him badly gassed in the later part of the fight. Darchinyan doesn't react well to pressure. The old saying pressure breaks pipes really rings true in this fight. And if Perez does what he does comes forward, throws 100 punches a round, and puts pressure for 3 minutes Darchinyan will lose by a fairly wide margin and may even get stopped. Darchinyan's only real chance of winning is by knocking out Perez and that will be hard to do because this fight is at 118 and Vic's power hasn't carried up, and and Perez has a good chin and good D. So, I've got Perez winning by decision, he doesn't hit hard, but it wouldn't surprise me to see the sheer volume wear down Darchinyan and stop him via TKO. Anyway, I'll take Perez by pretty wide UD, in the 117-111 range.

    VIC DARCHINYAN

    “I feel bad for Joseph Agbeko and wish him the best. It’s unfortunate but sometimes things just happen. What everyone should know is that they are going to get is a great fight. We will put on a great show.

    “This is the third time I’ve been moved up to the main event. I won both and I’m very confident I’ll win again.

    “Yonnhy is a gentleman. He’s a clean fighter who loves to come and fight and show who is better in the ring.

    “But he will be standing right in front of me and will feel my power like never before. Yonnhy is a bigger guy than me, but everyone will see how powerful I really am.

    “I am still upset with the way my last fight went. But I’m really looking forward to this fight and moving forward. I want a rematch with Mares or Agbeko very badly.

    “I am sure everyone will enjoy this fight and everyone will see how focused I am.’’

    YONNHY PEREZ

    “Last night before I went to bed I said a prayer for Agbeko because he’s a champion like I was and I know he does this for his family. I know how difficult it must be to not be able to perform Saturday night.

    “I can’t wait for Saturday. I know Vic has said a few things about me and how the fight will go and I really hope he can back those words up. It will be difficult to achieve the things he’s said.

    “Whether I was fighting for or second, I was still fighting Vic. I am strong and ready for anything he has to offer. I expect him to come out aggressively, but if he decides to change and box, I am prepared.

    “In the end, I will be the winner.’’

    I was really hoping Perez would be a bit bigger then he is compared to Vic... Im not sure why I thought Vic would be a bit smaller in comparison. Meh.... too late to back out now. I cant wait for this fight!

    War Perez.... But mainly I just want a good fight.

    What a disappointing weekend! Nah, kidding. One big fight but that promises a lot of action. No Mexican or undefeated, just two old school veterans, but I doubt they will fail to entertain. Good match-up!

    Gimme Prez by UD!

    This is pretty crazy... and impressive

    -------------------------------------
    Muhammad Rachman (64-10-5, 33 KOs) who just sensationally won the WBA mini-flyweight title by KO in round nine over the defending champion Kwantai Sithmorseng (31-1-1, 17 KOs) was completely self-trained for the world championship fight. A former IBF champion in the same division, the 39-year-old Rachman proved that he’s still harder than a rock. He wakes up early at 4AM running as far as 10 KM (around 6 miles) on a soccer stadium near his home in Blitar, Indonesia, alone. “I run on the grass field, and I think it feels like a ring canvas,” said Rachman. After running he does routine physical training such as push-ups, sit-ups, etc. and still all alone.

    Around 7AM he finishes his morning training then returns at his home, takes a shower and back as a normal life as a businessman. In the afternoon, after returning home, he does shadow boxing and hits the sandbags. He does it everyday and he prepares his own training program when he gets a fight invitation, including the WBA title fight with Kwantai Sithmorseng. “I only have one assistant in training, my wife,” he said. “She prepares good meals for me, and in the afternoon she becomes my timekeeper when I hit the sand bag.”
