Vakhtang Darchinyan, Armenian professional IBF and IBO champion in
weight category of 50,8 kg, preserved his title beating Victor Burgos,
the ex champion under 49-kg weight category. Darchinyan gained victory
of his rival in the last 12th round.
Immediately after the meeting Burgos was taken to hospital on a
stretcher where the latter underwent an operation. Doctors claim that
though Burgos suffered one knock-down he was beaten many times and
the beatings harmed him greatly.
The operation was a success. It is still unknown whether the sportsman
will be able to return to professional box.
