Vanes Martirosyan, Travis Kauffman Get Wins in Cali
On the untelevised portion of Darchinyan-Arce from the Honda Center in Anaheim, California, Vanes Martirosyan (23-0, 14KOs) would keep his undefeated record intact as he was able to decision Billy Lyell (18-7-3KOs) over 8 rounds. Martirosyan actually looked flat in his performance as Lyell was a live opponent and was even beating Martirosyan to the punch at times. Lyell gained more confidence as he had success not only backing Martirosyan up but landing some good shots. Martirosyan proved to be too skillful in the end as his jab and follow up rights would grind out a unanimous decision victory for him with scores of 79-73, 78-74 and 80-72.

Non-Televised Results, Darchinyan-Mijares Undercard
By Luis Sandoval There was nothing on the non-televised portion of the Showtime card at the Home Depot Center in Carson, CA that would detract from the shocking result that took place in the evening’s main event. But if there was a bright side to the relatively thin undercard, it meant less time spent exposed to on-again, off-again downpours in the outdoor arena. Leading the action off camera was super middleweight contender Carlos De Leon Jr (21-2-2, 14KO), who had an easy go of things in scoring a third round knockout over Brad Austin (8-5, 5KO). De Leon, the fighting son of former cruiserweight champion Carlos De Leon Sr, began slow but erupted in the third, scoring three knockdowns against the Tennessee journeyman before forcing a stoppage at 2:19 of the third round.
