By Dave Lahr: IBF/WBA/WBC super flyweight champion Vic Darchinyan (32-1-1, 26 KOs) is planning on moving up a weight class to the bantamweight division in the near future in hopes of earning a title in a third weight class. Darchinyan, 33, already has previously won titles in both the flyweight and super flyweight divisions and is now in the stages of moving up to face either Joseph Agbeko, the IBF bantamweight champion or WBC belt holder Hozumi Hasagawa.

Darchinyan Destroys Arce
By Chris Williams: I had a sinking feeling that this was going to be a mismatch, but I hoped it would be wrong. I wasn’t. IBF/WBA/WBC super flyweight champion Vic Darchinyan (32-1-1, 26 KOs) toyed with Jorge Arce (51-5-1, KOs) for 11 rounds, winning by an easy 11th round TKO on Saturday night at The Pond, in Anaheim, California. With Arce, 29, cut around both eyes and taking a lot of punishment in the 11th, the ringside doctor stepped in between the 11th and 12th rounds and stopped the fight due to the bad cut on the side of Arce’s right eye, which had made it hard for Arce to see out of the eye.
