Vic Darchinyan has absolutely no fear about fighting Z Gorres in the Filipino?s backyard. This is despite allegations that Filipino fans did everything they could to upset his former stablemate Nedal “Skinny?? Hussein before his 2000 battle with Manny Pacquiao in Antipolo City. Hussein managed to deck Pacquiao in round four before losing a very controversial fight on a cut eye stoppage. But Hussein?s brother, Billy Hussein, who is also Darchinyan?s trainer, said Darchinyan was not worried at all about the Filipino crowds before, during, or after the fight in Cebu City on February 2. “Vic is really looking forward to going to the Philippines and beating Z Gorres in his own backyard,?? Hussein said. “We had a very tough time there when Skinny fought Manny Pacquiao. “Pacquiao fans camped outside our hotel and chanted Pacquiao?s name for hours, disrupting Skinny?s sleep. “His hotel bedoom was right on the main street and every night he had lights shining into his room and fans chanting for the Pacman outside the hotel. “But our preparation will be a lot better this time when Vic faces Gorres. We know the things to avoid and we know how to avoid Gorres? fans. “Vic is training very well and is really looking forward to the challenge.?? The winner of the IBF super-flyweight eliminator will face world champ Dmitri Kirilov and Darchinyan is very keen to face the Russian in Moscow.
