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. [details]
