Unified super flyweight champion Vic Darchinyan punished Jorge Arce over eleven brutal rounds Saturday night before a stoppage and in my estimation can be crowned the King of the division. And while some hard core segments of the sport feel that there is unfinished business with flyweight champion Nonito Donaire after he knocked out Darchinyan back in July, 2007, “The Raging Bull” has surpassed Donaire in ability and more importantly in marketability. read more

When promoter Gary Shaw came right out and said Saturday on Showtime that there’s no way he’ll let Vic Darchinyan fight Nonito Donaire Jr., he was only repeating information you might have learned right here on examiner.com. last week.

Darchinyan (32-1, 26 knockouts), coming off Saturday’s 11-round whipping of super flyweight challenger Jorge Arce, would like nothing better than to fight Donaire (20-1, 13 knockouts), whose 2007 knockout of Darchinyan is the definitive flyweight division bout of recent years. But Donaire, largely inactive after that fight, dumped Shaw as his promoter last fall in favor of Bob Arum and Top Rank. read more

Darchinyan then stunned Arce against the ropes with some hook shots. Darchinyan clearly won the round. Arce started the second coming forward with his head and again paid the price, getting hit by a right that made him stumble back. Darchinyan picked up the pace and pelted Arce with a barrage of punches. Arce was trying to hit Darchinyan in the jaw but could not get in close enough. His punches were wide and Darchinyan took advantage of the openings. The third round featured fierce exchanges as Arce landed some punches of significance.

At the Honda Center in Anaheim, California, IBF/WBC/WBA super flyweight champion Vic Darchinyan (32-1-1, 26 KOs) battered and bruised Jorge Arce (51-5-1, 39 KOs) for eleven brutal rounds of punishment.

Arce was a bit tentative in the first round, jumping in and getting nailed by Darchinyan’s right hands and uppercuts. When Arce tried to circle around, Darchinyan’s left hands found their mark and opened a cut under his left eye. Darchinyan went right to work in the second, landing lefts and rights that battered the face of Arce. A combination of punches peppered Arce as he was trapped in the corner.

In the third, a hard left began a rally for Arce. The two would brawl at close range with both fighters getting in some good punches. read more

Former flyweight titlist Vic Darchinyan began 2008 on the comeback trail, and ended the year as a unified three-belt champion and strong contender for Fighter of the Year.

With Manny Pacquiao, last year’s winner, not fighting until May, Darchinyan jumped out to an early start in 2009, adding to his impressive run of collecting junior bantamweight scalps with a systematic beatodwn of Jorge Arce. A grudge match three years into the making, Darchinyan dominated throughout en route to an 11th round knockout in their Showtime-televised main event.

The bout aired live from the Honda Center in Anaheim, California.

The crowd never seemed to know which way to root for much of the high-contact affair.read more

ANAHEIM, Calif. – Vic Darchinyan did plenty of talking prior to his super flyweight title bout Saturday against Jorge Arce at the Honda Center. But Darchinyan’s powerful performance exceeded his hard-edged words.

The Armenian-born Australian retained his WBA, WBC and IBF titles with one of the more impressive victories of his career, stopping the overmatched Arce at 3:00 of the 11th round in front of a loud crowd of 5,450.

Ringside physician Paul Wallace recommended to referee Lou Moret that a cut on Arce’s right eye was too serious to allow him to come out for the 12th.

Darchinyan, who had been raking Arce with left uppercuts throughout, was in complete control and was never in a second of danger. read more
