RANCHO MIRAGE, Calif. (AP)
Australian Victor Darchinyan scored a unanimous decision against Rodrigo Guerrero of Mexico City to retain his WBC and WBA super flyweight titles Saturday night at The Show inside the Agua Caliente Casino.
The judges scored the bout 118-110, 117-111 and 120-108.
Darchinyan (34-2-1, 27 KOs), known for his spectacular knockouts, couldn't put down the tough Guerrero, whose head was rocked back numerous times. The only time Guerrero (13-2-1) went down was from a slip at the start of the 10th round.
Late in the bout, Darchinyan landed multiple heavy punches against Guerrero, even knocking out the challenger's mouthpiece in the seventh round.
In the co-main event, Australian Lenny Zappavigna (23-0, 15 KOs) claimed the vacant IBO lightweight championship with a unanimous decision over Fernando Angulo (22-7, 14 KOs), who came into the bout three pounds overweight.
Angulo, from Caracas, Venezuela, could not have won the title because he failed to make weight.
