LIVE in Los Angeles, Two-division world champion Vic &#8220;Raging Bull&#8221; Darchinyan has been hammering the point.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;After this fight, if I don&#8217;t get a title shot at 118, I will move up to 122; I will move down to 115. Doesn&#8217;t matter.&#8221;<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>In fact, at the fighter meeting with the Showtime crew, Darchinyan offered (jokingly) to fight color commentator Antonio Tarver.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Vic is a true warrior,&#8221; said his promoter, Gary Shaw of Gary Shaw Productions. &#8220;When Joseph Agbeko first fell out of his fight with Abner Mares, Vic offered right away to fight both Perez and Mares on the same night. That&#8217;s just the kind of guy he is.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Darchinyan has vowed to dispense with the boxing skills he displayed in his last fight, a close loss to Mares, and go back to what he knows. &#8220;No more skills. After this fight everyone will be talking about my power again.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Tickets, priced at $200, $100, $75, $50 and $25, are on sale at Ticketmaster.com, via Ticketmaster charge-by-phone lines (800) 745-3000 and at STAPLES Center Box Office.
