By Dan Ambrose: Giving away an incredible 10 inches in reach and three inches in height, 40-year-old former two-division world champion Vic Darchinyan (42-9-1, 31 KOs) suffered a 2nd round knockout last Saturday night against Mexican journeyman sub Sergio Frias (18-6-2, 9 KOs) on the undercard of the Deontay Wilder vs. Chris Arreola card at the Legacy Arena in Birmingham, Alabama.
The 5’8” Frias flattened the 5’5” Darchinyan in the 2nd with a right hand to the head. The shot sent Darchinyan down on his back on the canvas. The referee Keith Hughes almost immediately stopped the fight when he saw how hurt Darchinynan was. The official time of the stoppage was at 2:14 of the round.
