Vic Darchinyan KOs Cristian Mijares, Wins WBA and WBC 115-Pound Titles

Vic Darchinyan knocked out Cristian Mijares tonight and added two more championship belts to his collection.

Darchinyan knocked Mijares down in the first round, dominated the entire fight, and eventually knocked him out in the ninth round. It was an extremely impressive performance.

Mijares entered the ring with the WBA and WBC 115-pound belts, while Darchinyan entered as the IBF champ. Now Darchinyan owns all three belts. The WBO belt is owned by Fernando Montiel, who fights Juan Alberto Rosas tomorrow. If the winners fight each other, the 115-pound class could be the only one in boxing with a truly unified champ.

Heading into tonight's fight, Ring Magazine ranked Mijares first, Montiel second and Darchinyan fourth among 115-pounders, but with the way Darchinyan dominated tonight, he has to be considered the world's best junior bantamweight.

Darchinyan improves to 31-1-1. Mijares falls to 36-4-2.
