    VIC DARCHINYAN TO COMBAT MEXICAN RODRIGO GUERRERO

    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ The son of an Armenian Olympic wrestling coach,
    Darchinyan finally landed an opponent last Friday in the form of
    Mexican Rodrigo Guerrero.

    To defend his WBA and WBC world title belts, Darchinyan intends to
    mix up his training regimen to try to improve his already brutal
    punching power.

    Gone are the heavy sessions in the gym bench-pressing 120kg and doing
    hundreds of push-ups with his feet elevated on top of one corner of
    the ring.

    Instead, the Sydney Olympian has been working with world champion
    discuss thrower Dani Samuels to improve the fast-twitch muscle fibres
    and explosive power in his legs.

    Parramatta Eels conditioning gurus Hayden Knowles and Craig Catterick
    are supervising the new lower-body program.

    "Vic doesn't need to work on his upper body, boxing is enough for
    him in terms of maintenance there," Knowles said. "But by working
    on the power from his legs, we believe we can increase his power
    quite considerably."

    Darchinyan's manager Elias Nasser admitted the assignment of finding
    fights was tough because of Darchinyan's fearsome reputation, The
    Sunday Telegraph reported.

    Vakhtang Darchinyan (born 7 January, 1976 in Vanadzor, Armenia) is a
    professional boxer who is the current WBA, WBC unified Super Flyweight
    World Champion. Darchinyan was also formerly the IBF and IBO champion
    of the flyweight division and briefly reigned as the IBO's super
    flyweight champion also. He is a southpaw boxer, who currently trains
    under Billy Hussein, brother of boxers Nedal and Hussein Hussein.

    Previously, he was trained by former 3-division world champion,
    Jeff Fenech in Sydney.
