Darchinyan robbed of a TKO! Wins easy technical decision!
07.10.06 – By Izyaslav `Slava’ Koza: In a situation eerily similar to
Arthur Abraham’s bout with Edison Miranda, Glenn Donaire suffered a broken
jaw in his bout with Vakhtang `Vic’ Darchinyan. The similarities ended
there, however, as Donaire indicated to the ref, Tony Weeks, that he could
not continue due to a `phantom’ headbutt foul. The replay clearly showed
Darchinyan landing a straight left that rocked Donaire at which point he
stopped the action himself and told the doctor and the referee he could not
go on.
Donaire clearly lost every round up to that point and was knocked down in
the bout. It was abundantly clear that he was looking to quit and really the
bout should have been stopped via technical knock out, as the blow came from
a punch.
Darchinyan looked superb, and the one time Donaire decided to engage he
found himself on the ground via the knockdown. Darchniyan missed with an
uppercut and landed the left to cause the damage and the count. Darchinyan
barely missed a punch during the whole fight, and was very entertaining in
his third or fourth Showtime Debut.
