DARCHINYAN REACTS TO CATUBAY BOAST

Hard-hitting and cocky former IBF/IBO flyweight champion Vic Darchnyan has reacted to the statements made by former Philippine champion Federico Catubay who battles the tough Aussie for the vacant IBO super flyweight title at the Auburn RSL Club in Sydney on October 20.
The Australian sports website sportsnut.com quoted Darchinyan as saying Catubay must be joking if he thinks he can repeat the upset win of “The Filipino Flash” Nonito Donaire who scored a stunning fifth round stoppage to win Darchinyan’s IBF and IBO flyweight titles last July 7.
Catubay who is training at the ALA Gym had said that “maybe this time Darchinyan will retire” to which the former world champion promised “there will be no upsets. I will be a world champion again.”
Darchinyan’s trainer Billy Hussein was quoted by sportsnut.com as saying “my brother Hussy (Hussein Hussein) scored a big win over him (Catubay) in Sydney a couple of years ago but he’s a handy fighter. Upsets can happen as Vic found out against Donaire. But I’m certain Vic will beat Catubay and be a world champion again.”
Darchinyan’s trainer said the fighter is “very focused after his loss and knows he can't make any mistakes” even as he predicted that Darchinyan “will stop Donaire in a rematch.”
