MONSTER-LIKE DARCHINYAN BRUTALIZES ARCE
Anaheim, CA– Vic Darchinyan (32-1-1, 26 KOs) TKO 11 Jorge Arce (51-5-1, 39 KOs) (WBC, WBA, IBF 115 lb. titles) Vic is no joke! And while he is not Superman, he looked super vs. Arce. Mean spirited, cruel, dominant, talking smack, yeah this was Vic being the real Vic. Now he needs to fight WBO guy Fernando Montiel and remove any uncertainty there is about the Australian based Armenian at 115 lbs. After that, Nonito Donaire should move up . They both could cash in! Scores at the stoppage were 109-100 Darchinyan.
TOLD YOU THIS DIAMOND WASN’T FOR REAL Antonio DeMarco (20-1-1, 14 KOs) TKO 9 “Kid Diamond” Raiymkulov (27-2-1, 15 KOs) Tijuana “sleeper” a sleeper no more! DeMarco showed he can fight, and better than “Kid Diamond” when he opened up a can of “ass whip” on the “Kid” in the 8th. Diamond chose not to come out for #9.
TWO WBA TITLE FIGHTS PUT FORTH BY PETER KOHL
Stadthalle, Rostock, Germany– Ruslan Chagaev (25-0-1, 17 KOs) TD 6 Carl Drumond (26-1, 20 KOs) (WBA heavyweight title) Just thank your lucky stars you didn’t get to see this one! Both of these guys are stiffs! Bleeding like a stuck pig, and fighting only a tad better, Ruslan won a TD 6 when it was ruled he could no longer continue.
MORE CONTROVERSY IN GERMANY AT 140 LBS
Andreas Kotelnik (31-2-1, 13 KOs) SD 12 Rene Maidana (25-1, 24 KOs) (WBA 140 lb. title) “Home cooking” at work here? Controversial win for German based WBA champ. No knockdowns, and an exciting finale put it in the hands of the judges. You’ve heard the term, “in Rome do as the Roman’s do.” They really meant this about Germany! Scores; 115-113, 115-114 Kotelnik, 115-113 Maidana. In rounds, that 7-5 & 7-4-1 Kotelnik, and 7-5 Maidana.
