| • Junior bantamweight champ Vic Darchinyan of Australia, who returns March 6 (Showtime), defends against Mexico's Rodrigo Guerrero (13-1, 9 KOs), promoter Gary Shaw told ESPN.com. The bout opens Showtime's Arthur Abraham-Andre Dirrell Super Six tournament bout telecast. Guerrero owns wins against Luis Maldonado, whom Darchinyan stopped in a 2006 flyweight title defense, and Juan Alberto Rosas, who became mandatory for a 115-pound belt after winning a November eliminator. Shaw hopes Darchinyan wins and Nonito Donaire beats Gerson Guerrero (no relation) on Feb. 13 and it leads to a Donaire-Darchinyan rematch. Donaire starched Darchinyan in the fifth round in 2007 to win a flyweight title in a major upset. "Guerrero's a pretty good fighter and I think he'll give Vic some rounds, but after that I'm going to try to make the Donaire rematch," Shaw said. "I spoke with Cameron [Dunkin, Donaire's manager], and he told me they're interested." http://espn.go.com/sports/boxing/notebook/_/page/january_29-dan-rafael-weekend-notebook/glen-johnson-meets-yusaf-mack-paydays-mind |
