By Francisco Salazar: The hottest ticket in Southern California on Saturday night could be for the much anticipated Vic Darchinyamn-Jorge Arce fight at the Honda Center in Anaheim, CA. “We have already sold 4,000 thus far for Saturday night,” said Top Rank publicist Ricardo Jimenez. Showtime will televise the Darchinyan-Arce fight along with the 12 round Lightweight bout between Antonio DeMarco and Almazbek “Kid Diamond” Raiymkulov. Jimenez did go on to state that, over two years ago, half of the over 7,000 tickets sold at Honda Center headlining Arce on January 27th, 2007 were sold on Friday and Saturday night. Arce faced Julio David Roque Ler, while Kelly Pavlik took Jose Luis Zertuche.
Two-time world champion Jorge Arce of Mexico and unified super flyweight world champion ‘Mighty’ Vic Darchinyan of Australia both weighed in at 115lb for their upcoming IBF/WBC/WBA Super Flyweight championship fight on Saturday. Doors open at 3PM local time.
