San Francisco - Promoter Gary Shaw, still seeing red following his bitter split with IBF champ Nonito Donaire, has indicated that a rematch between the Filipino boxing star and his ward IBF/WBC/WBA superfly champ Vic Darchinyan will not happen.
However, American and Filipino fight fans here downplayed Shaw's recent remarks, which according to them indicate Gary Shaw is still bitter after Donaire left him to join a much-bigger promoter in Bob Arum of Top Rank.
Shaw branded Donaire as “disloyal” and should not be given another crack at Darchinyan.
“No, Donaire doesn't have a chance. He's disloyal, and disloyal people shouldn't be rewarded,” Shaw told Boxingtalk in an interview. “Had he stuck with me, he would have been the 115-pound world champion, and he would have been looking at a rematch with Darchinyan, and fighting for three belts at 115 pounds.”
Both Donaire and Darchinyan won their respective bouts this weekend in Las Vegas and California, respectively.
“He can go pound sand, he can go fight Arce or Montiel, and see where he goes from there, go up to 118 pounds or go down to 108 pounds. He can do whatever he wants to do, but he won't be working with Darchinyan and three belts,” Shaw said.
The American promoter, who was in Cebu this year cheering for Darchinyan in his battle with Z Gorres, indicated that the Australia-based Armenian “would fight Arce, he'd fight Montiel, he'd like to fight Marquez and/or Vasquez, either one at 122 pounds as well. Maybe one of those fights can be made.”
Meanwhile, Shaw has continued to bask in the limelight of Darchinyan's latest win, pointing out that even the media was against his fighter when they predicted on the outcome of the fight.
“I have a lot of respect for Christian Mijares, he's a great champion and a very honorable Mexicano, outside and inside the ring. It just wasn't his night. He ran into a fighter who's a great fighter, maybe one of the best 115 pounders ever, in Vic Darchinyan. Vic did everything he said he would do. He said he would be better, faster, and stronger, he said he would break him down, and knock him out. He did all of the above. The only people that didn't believe him were Mijares and all of the writers.”
