WBC Bantamweight world champion undefeated Shinsuke Yamanaka (left) of Japan and tough challenger, the ever dangerous hard-hitting Armenian Vic Darchinyan, tipped the scales at an identical weight of 118 lbs (53.5 kgs) ahead of their title clash tomorrow (April 6) at the Tokyo International Forum here in Japan.
The fight will be the first title defense for Yamanaka (15-0-2, 11KOs), who won the prestigious WBC belt last November by knocking out Mexican slugger Christian Esquivel, while for the popular "Raging Bull" Vic Darchinyan this fight will be his awaited comeback after his loss to reigning WBA bantamweight super champion Anselmo "Chemito" Moreno of Panama.
According to boxing analysts here in Japan, tomorrow's title fight might not go the distance as both Yamanaka and Darchinyan are southpaw fighters who look to engage in close quarter combat throwing powerful hands in non-stop wars. Yamanaka is a knockout seeker who might have better boxing skills, but Vic Darnchinyan is proud seasoned full stamina brawler with violent instincts and a desire to see his opponent on the floor.
