Darchinyan Stops Mijares In Title Unification Bout

Sunday, November 2, 2008

(Sports Network) - Vic Darchinyan unified the super flyweight title by scoring a ninth-round knockout of Cristian Mijares Saturday night.

Darchinyan, nicknamed "Raging Bull", used a right jab and left to the face to floor his opponent at the end of the round to capture the WBA, WBC and IBF versions of the 115-pound belt. He's the first man in history to unify the titles in the weight class.

The 32-year-old Darchinyan (31-1-1, 25 KOs), who was coming off a fifth-round knockout of Dimitri Kirilov in August, knocked down Mijares with a left uppercut in the opening round before finishing off his opponent.

Mijares (36-4-2) scored a third-round TKO of Chatchai Sasakul in his last fight.
