Darchinyan wins in Armenia
Updated September 04, 2011 10:48:36
Australia's IBO bantamweight boxing world champion Vic Darchinyan made
a triumphant return to the country of his birth with a dominant
unanimous points win over South African Evans Mbamba in the Armenian
capital of Yerevan.
Darchinyan, who had not fought in Armenia for over a decade since his
amateur days, knocked the challenger down in the opening round.
He won 120-107 on two cards and 119-107 on the third.
The Armenian president was among a capacity crowd of almost 8,000 who
attended the first professional promotion in the country's history.
Darchinyan dictated terms for the rest of the fight against his fellow
southpaw after scoring the early knockdown.
He improved his professional record to 37-3-1 (27 KOs), while Mbamba's
dropped to 18-2 (9 KOs).
The Sydney-based Darchinyan carried both the Australian and Armenian
flags into the ring.
His next fight is expected to be in the United States in December.
