Armenian-born WBC and WBA super flyweight (115 pounds) champion Vic
Darchinyan won a clash of southpaws for the vacant IBO bantamweight
(118 pounds) crown with Thursday’s 12-round, unanimous decision
over Eric Barcelona before his hometown fans at the Leagues Club,
Parramatta in New South Wales, Australia.
The 34-year-old Darchynian (35-2-1, 27 knockouts) floored the
28-year-old Barcelona (51-8-4, 19 KOs) once each in the fifth and
11th round, and also benefited from Barcelona’s being deducted a
point for low blows during each of the sixth, and, 12th rounds.
