Anselmo Moreno: I needed name like Darchinyan to put my name on the map

PanARMENIAN.Net - Two-Division World Champion Vic Darchinyan and WBA Bantamweight Super Champion Anselmo Moreno held a media conference call to discuss the upcoming SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING event on Dec. 3 from Honda Center in Anaheim, Calif.

“I’m well prepared and I want to show everyone in America and the rest of the world that I’m very fit and ready to go. As soon as I’m done fighting (Moreno) I want to fight Abner Mares and I will destroy him. That’s what I want,” the Armenian boxer said.

“I think Moreno is an OK fighter. I don’t think he’s a very effective fighter because he just goes round by round. I’m just going to be too strong for him. I know I have to be patient. I can’t be in a rush like I did against Agbeko. I just wanted to knock him out in the first round and I was very impatient,” Darcinyan said.

“We are prepared and we have watched Vic Darchinyan,” challenger Anselmo Moreno noted. “We are going to do everything to counter him and make him feel uncomfortable. “I’ve had eight title defenses but I needed a name like Vic Darchinyan to put my name out there on the map,” philboxing.com quoted the boxer as saying.
