Vic Darchinyan: “It isn't a bantamweight tournament, it's the Darchinyan tournament.”
The event will feature Colombian-born IBF king Yonny Perez in a co-feature, rematch with Ghana's Joseph Agbeko, whom Perez dethroned for the crown on Halloween by unanimous decision, and rising former WBC and WBA super flyweight (115 pounds) champion Vic Darchinyan of Australia defending his IBO crown against Mexican-born Abner Mares.
The winners will meet in a title bout in 2011, and the losers, in a consolation match up.
"I think that this is a beautiful thing that Showtime is doing, but it isn't a bantamweight tournament, it's The Darchinyan tournament. Everyone who faces me will feel my power and be a loser," said Darchinyan.
"I owe Agbeko because he got away with one last time. But it doesn't matter who I fight," said Darchyinyan. "Even the winner in the other bracket will be a loser because he will eventually have to face me and lose."
