Joseph Agbeko says Vic Darchinyan has made a mistake in moving up to face him

PanARMENIAN.Net - Joseph Agbeko faces the lethal punching Vic Darchinyan a week on Saturday in Florida, as he makes the second defense of his IBF bantamweight crown.



"I will give him the worst beating of his entire career. Worse than the beating Nonito Donaire gave him," Joseph Agbeko replied when questioned on his oncoming fight with Vic Darchinyan.



"I believe I have better skills than him and I believe I am a better puncher than him. Vic has never fought anyone in my class before. He has always fought guys he knew he could beat - guys he knew he could do what he wanted to against them. But who will tell him what to do against me? Who will show him how to beat me? He said at the press conference that this fight will be a mismatch. It will be, with me winning over him easily," Agbeko says.



"Vic has made a name for himself and become a world champion, but I don't think he's a special fighter. Anything he can do, I can do better and I want to prove to the world how good I am. As to my toughest fight, my fight against William Gonzalez was the hardest so far." (Joseph is adamant he was robbed in his sole career loss, against Wladimir Sidorenko. Actually, Vic Darchinyan agrees with Agbeko on this).



"A win on July 11th will be the beginning of my life as a top, high-profile boxer. I always wanted to be one of the best fighters in the world, and this is my chance to show it now. I have always said, any time I face a high-profile fighter, someone they say is the best, I perform better myself. Against the better the opponent the easier it is for me," eastsideboxing.com cited Aghbeko as saying.
