VIC DARCHINYAN RETAINS IBF TITLE

YEREVAN, OCTOBER 9, ARMENPRESS: Australia’s Armenia-born Vic Darchinyan retained his International Boxing Federation flyweight title with a technical decision over Glenn Donaire from the Philippines on October 8.

Darchinyan knocked Donaire down in the fourth round with a short right on the way to recording his fifth successful IBF title defense and fourth International Boxing Organization title defense.

The bout was stopped at 1min. 27sec of the sixth round when Donaire sustained a jaw injury from what referee Tony Weeks determined was an accidental head clash. The ringside doctor recommended the bout be stopped.

The fight went to the scorecards with the hard-punching Darchinyan leading 60-53 on all three. He improved his overall professional record to 27 wins and no losses with 21 KOs. Darchinyan was disappointed the result was recorded as a technical decision rather than a KO, as he was adamant that any injury Donaire suffered was caused by a punch not a head clash.

“I nearly knocked him out and they stopped the fight for nothing,” Darchinyan said. “There was no real reason to stop it.

“It was one of my best, but not my best performance, because I was very sharp and I did what I wanted.”
