By Cliff Rold - Nearing the end of a career that may end with a trip to the International Boxing Hall of Fame, 37-year old former two-division champion Vic Darchinyan (39-5-1, 28 KO) of Vanadzor, Armenia, got a game challenge in what appeared a tune-up and scored his first knockout since 2009, dropping 29-year old Javier Gallo (18-7-1, 10 KO) of Bueno Park, California, three times in a wild second round before lowering the boom for a fourth round stoppage win Saturday night at the Uni-Trade Stadium in Laredo, Texas.
Darchinyan, making his second career start as a Jr. Featherweight after consecutive title fight losses to Anselmo Moreno and Shinsuke Yamanaka at Bantamweight, came into the bout a pound and a half over the division limit at 123 ½. Gallo weighed in at 123 ¼. The referee was Mark Calo-Oy. [Click Here To Read More]
