I'm gonna go Diamond UD, Darchinyan UD
"I was trying to rob him. And he took my gun from me. And the gun was full of blanks. And he shot a blank into my eye. And now I cannot see from this eye ever again, the doctors say."
"Well to be honest it sounds like it's all your fault."
y'know
I’m probably remembering wrong but I seem to recall Showtime’s “Championship Boxing” shows being in HD. This one isn’t it appears.

Comcast doesn’t have it listed with the HD tag. Hopefully they’re just wrong.

For the record, earlier today I watched Encino Man on Showtime. In HD.

y'know
Showtime deserves real credit for getting behind a fighter as small as Darchinyan the way they have over the years. HBO would never put this guy in a main event.
"I was trying to rob him. And he took my gun from me. And the gun was full of blanks. And he shot a blank into my eye. And now I cannot see from this eye ever again, the doctors say."

DeMarco-Diamond R1
Diamond looking to jab his way inside on the taller man. DeMarco slings a left, Diamond comes back with an off balance right, neither lands square. Diamond is the one moving forward so far with DeMarco fighting tentatively. Right hook to the body from DeMarco, but Diamond fires back with several hard shots, none landing flush, but a few landing to be sure. DeMarco shoots a straight left. Right to the chest from Diamond. DeMarco throwing the jab, and uses it to set up a great couple of lefts and a glancing right hook. Left from DeMarco, counter right from Diamond, and Diamond STINGS him with a solid right. Unintentional headbutt right before the bell, and Diamond is cut on the outside of his right eye.
Diamond 10-9
"I was trying to rob him. And he took my gun from me. And the gun was full of blanks. And he shot a blank into my eye. And now I cannot see from this eye ever again, the doctors say."
"Well to be honest it sounds like it's all your fault."
Angulo is also there....about 4 seats to his left.
Diamond takes Round 1 pretty easily.
Vogt early, Vogt often.
DeMarco-Diamond R2
Diamond’s cut man does, uh, very little.
Sledgehammer right from Diamond, and he drives DeMarco into the ropes, where Antonio ties up. DeMarco charges, Diamond avoids it. Ripping right to the body, and one upstairs falls just short of flush for Diamond. Diamond drives him back with a potshot right, and takes him into the ropes with a haymaker right. Left from DeMarco, which is landing quite well so far. Two jabs from Diamond, who’s fighting with The Crazy Eye.
Left to the body from DeMarco, and Diamond swings a MASSIVE right hand, which falls short and sends him crashing to the mat via momentum. Diamond is really firing some wild shit so far. He might be worried about that cut. DeMarco with another left, then an up jab. Tight round. Good stuff so far.
DeMarco 10-9
19-19
"I was trying to rob him. And he took my gun from me. And the gun was full of blanks. And he shot a blank into my eye. And now I cannot see from this eye ever again, the doctors say."
"Well to be honest it sounds like it's all your fault."
I gave it to Diamond still
He’s just landing all of the effective punches. I don’t think DeMarco has landed anything other than a jab yet.
Vogt early, Vogt often.
thought a few of his lefts have been solid
"I was trying to rob him. And he took my gun from me. And the gun was full of blanks. And he shot a blank into my eye. And now I cannot see from this eye ever again, the doctors say."
"Well to be honest it sounds like it's all your fault."
DeMarco-Diamond R3
Diamond’s corner urges him to stop throwing the loaded up rights and start boxing. Early in the second he shows no intention of following that advice. Diamond stung on a counter left hand to the body, and DeMarco seems content to wait and counter with good shots when Diamond comes in wild. He’s showing a lot of patience in there. And now DeMarco lands the straight left again. Diamond backed into the ropes, he swings his way out briefly, and now he’s doing it again. You know I think DeMarco is landing SOME good straight lefts, but Bernstein is acting like it’s Pavlik with the straight right against Miranda or something.
Diamond firing looping rights, DeMarco hangs back and waits. Round ends. DeMarco has a small cut over his left eye.
DeMarco 10-9
DeMarco 29-28
"I was trying to rob him. And he took my gun from me. And the gun was full of blanks. And he shot a blank into my eye. And now I cannot see from this eye ever again, the doctors say."
"Well to be honest it sounds like it's all your fault."
Gave that one to DeMarco
but it was still close. DeMarco is throwing twice as much, but most of his punches seem to be pitty patty.
Vogt early, Vogt often.
DeMarco-Diamond R4
Looks like the cut came from another accidental butt, or a shoulder bump. Cantu noted it at the end of the round.
Uppercut from Diamond, and another! Diamond pins him in the corner and tries to unload, but DeMarco throws his way out. Jab from DeMarco lands and we’ll see if he starts getting wild with Diamond pressuring. Stiff jab and a left from DeMarco, uppercut lands. DeMarco pressing now, and he blocks a lead right bomb. Diamond seems to have felt some shots the last couple of rounds, because he’s not charging with such abandon anymore. Diamond flicking a pointless jab. Well now he made a point with it, setting up a big right. DeMarco with a rally of shots, and he catches Diamond again before the bell. Slightly late shot from DeMarco, he quickly apologizes.
DeMarco 10-9
DeMarco 39-37
Press row has it 38-38 across the board.
"I was trying to rob him. And he took my gun from me. And the gun was full of blanks. And he shot a blank into my eye. And now I cannot see from this eye ever again, the doctors say."
"Well to be honest it sounds like it's all your fault."
DeMarco-Diamond R5
Diamond shooting some nice shots, though wild and will probably get him tagged on counters if he keeps it up. And there’s DeMarco landing nice shots, though Diamond avoids a couple at the same time. Lead left hook from Diamond is mostly blocked. Diamond misses an uppercut, but fires a right just after and lands that one. Another clash of heads. And then nearly another right after.
DeMarco with a left. Then one to the body. Diamond throws a left hook, misses a right. Nice combo from Diamond, with an exclamation point on a right hand. Another hard right stings DeMarco, who slips back, dodges, and fires back before the bell.
Diamond 10-9
DeMarco 48-47
"I was trying to rob him. And he took my gun from me. And the gun was full of blanks. And he shot a blank into my eye. And now I cannot see from this eye ever again, the doctors say."
"Well to be honest it sounds like it's all your fault."
48-47 Diamond for me...
But I could see DeMarco having 3 rounds. First and Fifth round were wide and clear to me. Not sure how Bernstein scored the first for DeMarco.
Vogt early, Vogt often.
how bad are the cuts?
cant really tell on the stream im watching
"After this, I'm gonna kick Bob Arum's ass."
-George Lopez
not terrible
DeMarco’s is a total non-factor so far, Diamond’s isn’t bad.
"I was trying to rob him. And he took my gun from me. And the gun was full of blanks. And he shot a blank into my eye. And now I cannot see from this eye ever again, the doctors say."
"Well to be honest it sounds like it's all your fault."
DeMarco's is negligent
Diamond’s hasn’t stopped bleeding, but it’s next to the eye so it’s not dangerous.
Vogt early, Vogt often.
ok thanks
saw a lil blood on diamonds face a few rounds ago so i wansnt sure

DeMarco-Diamond R6
DeMarco throws the left. Tentative first minute, at least compared to the rest of the fight. Gus says DeMarco is 21-1. What’s his fucking record!
DeMarco with a right hook. Diamond throwing back in combination. Left from DeMarco meets right from Diamond — well, both meet face technically. DeMarco really hung back this round with 30 seconds left; I think maybe his corner mixed their signals and he’s a little lost. Not a great round for Diamond, but a winning round.
Diamond 10-9

DeMarco-Diamond R7
Right from DeMarco, but Diamond fires back with a nasty right. He’s hurting DeMarco now and I think he’s mentally ahead of DeMarco, which is no surprise. Diamond looks a lot better than he has the last couple times I’ve seen him. DeMarco lets Diamond fling off the ropes, but nothing lands out of it. DeMarco uppercut doesn’t find its mark. He’s throwing a lot and lands maybe one left out of it. Right to the body from Diamond. Left from DeMarco, right from Diamond.
Diamond 10-9
Diamond 67-66
Good fight so far.
"I was trying to rob him. And he took my gun from me. And the gun was full of blanks. And he shot a blank into my eye. And now I cannot see from this eye ever again, the doctors say."

"Well to be honest it sounds like it's all your fault."
DeMarco-Diamond R8
DeMarco lands a couple light jabs, and Diamond throws a left hook and a right. Right to the body by Diamond, but he leaves himself out of position at the same time. Right hand Diamond and he takes DeMarco into the ropes, where DeMarco ties up. Couple more shots from Diamond. DeMarco drives Diamond into the corner, and he shimmies out. Diamond with heavy shots, and he takes DeMarco to the ropes again. Diamond is really trying to make this a brawl. Left hook by Diamond sneaks in, and he blasts to the body with a right. Straight right lands. Heck of a round for Diamond here in the final minute especially.
Diamond 10-9

DeMarco-Diamond R9
Diamond with a looping right that lands. Gus keeps talking about DeMarco fighting the urge to brawl. I think he needs to stop fighting it. And here comes DeMarco, and he staggers Diamond! And he tags him again, and Diamond is staying in there. DeMarco pushes him back again, and another big left! DeMarco is in a groove now. Diamond coming forward again, now throwing an uppercut and a hook. DeMarco’s left glances off the top of Diamond’s head.
Diamond throwing a right upstairs, but DeMarco is standing his ground. They both throw wild shots, and DeMarco wins the exchange with a straight left at the end. Hard uppercut from DeMarco! Left hand lands and another staggers Diamond! Diamond tagged with a BIG left! DEMARCO IS POUNCING AND HAMMERING AWAY ON THE ROPES! BELL SOUNDS TO PROBABLY SAVE KID DIAMOND!
HUGE round for DeMarco!
DeMarco 10-9

Nice flurry for DeMarco at the end
DeMarco managed to sneak a nice elbow in there as well that caused the cut on his nose.

It’s a shitty stoppage.

First question - does he speak English?
Because if he doesn’t, it’s kinda hard to follow doctor’s directions if you don’t know what the hell he’s saying.
Duck Around - a progressive blog about the Eastern Shore of Maryland. And getting off my lawn.
I don’t like the doctor stepping in like that. At all. Diamond had no desire to quit.

It's one thing if he can't defend himself
But that wasn’t the case AT ALL here. He was still fighting, and clearly in control of his faculties when the round ended. Not to arm-chair diagnose, but he didn’t look like his bell was even rung when the doctor called it.

Guys fight with broken noses all the time
Heck, guys fight with broken jaws all the time. I’ve never seen a medical stoppage over a broken nose before.

Vazquez-Marquez I, too
Vazquez had his nose broken in the first round and fought on until he decided he couldn’t breathe.

Didn't look that way

I call bullshit
No one from his corner was saying stop it. The doctor stepped on the apron.

Ref is saying Doc said he could go
and indeed his corner said stop.
Certainly didn’t LOOK that way.

Cantu says Diamond decided to stop
If he did, then that’s fine by me. That happens. But a doctor taking it upon himself would be a bit much. A bit too Margaret Goodman.

Frankly
If it needed to stop there, the right call would have been to DQ DeMarco. He broke Diamond’s nose on an intentional elbow in the middle of the flurry.
Vogt early, Vogt often.
cards at time of stoppage

So, is Arce
A) an adorable entertainer who plays to the crowd
or
B) And arrogant punk who needs to be put on his ass.
Seeing the promo, I’ve voting B.

both, honestly
Darchinyan’s far more arrogant and a much bigger prick. This is gonna be fun.

He's an arrogant little man
classic trash talker, fights like a fiddler crab, huge punching power, EXTREMELY unorthodox. Looks like he shouldn’t be a good boxer, but he was actually an Olympic medalist.

I know they show the best of the guy
but that’s a hell of a left he has.

he's a vicious puncher
Pound for pound one of the hardest punchers in the sport. Arce’s specialty is getting hit and staying up.

Darchinyan-Arce R1
86% of viewers say this will be a KO.
Both guys moving around a lot to start, Arce showing some lack of commitment on early charges, with Darchinyan waiting for him. Hard left from Vic is the first punch to land solid. Right from Arce. Arce’s doing a lot of lunging. Left hook Arce. Darchinyan with a right, and a left uppercut after a right from Arce. Darchinyan is looking aggressive now. Uppercut lands FLUSH. Jab from Vic. Darchinyan with two lefts. He is dominating this round. Right hook, and then he makes Arce miss. BIG left from Vic Darchinyan! And another left lands. Boy Arce’s in trouble. He’s already cut, too.
Darchinyan 10-9

Darchinyan-Arce R2
Arce rips to the body. Left from Vic. Straight left from Darchinyan. Left again from Vic. He’s dominating. Arce is getting hammered, and here they go. Nope, no big thing.
Arce trying to come with a combo, but Vic avoids it all. Darchinyan shoots a left but it falls short. Darchinyan with a right hook and a left, but Arce manages to not get hit square. Left from Darchinyan. Vic with a chopping left that misses. Straight left stings Arce, and Vic pounces at the end of the round. Arce has nothing so far. Period.

Darchinyan-Arce R3
Straight left leads off the round again. And there’s another quick shot. Darchinyan is now fully stalking Arce and it looks like he’s smelling blood. Arce fires back with two hooks to the body and a right that doesn’t land up top. Vic with a square left uppercut between the gloves. Vic going in and HERE COMES ARCE! HERE WE GO! THEY ARE LIGHTING IT UP NOW!
Arce might have Darchinyan stung a little now. Darchinyan is tying up Arce and avoiding action. Oh man.
Arce cut under both eyes, Vic shoves him. Moret tells them to stop wrestling. BIG left hand by Vic Darchinyan. Now they trade again briefly. And Arce is coming forward again. Left hook, and now there’s a headbutt. THEY ARE BRAWLING NOW! HERE WE GO BY GOD! ARCE AND DARCHINYAN CENTER RING AND THROWING!
Darchinyan cut on the bridge of the nose from a headbutt. Goddamn it.
Arce 10-9 — think he stole this with meaningful shots that hurt Vic

Bombs Away!
Great round! Looking like Vic was going to blow Arce away, but we’ve got a brawl on our hands suddenly.
Vic has got to find a way
to stop Arce from rushing in, head low. That’s been a pretty effective set-up for body shots by Arce
Duck Around - a progressive blog about the Eastern Shore of Maryland. And getting off my lawn.
Darchinyan-Arce R4
Darchinyan stings Arce with a left early. Arce with a big hook! Darchinyan firing back! VICIOUS left from Darchinyan! Arce is looking for the Nonito left hook I think. Vic misses a bad intentions uppercut. Nice uppercut by Vic lands this time. Heads clash again. Goddamn night of the butts.
Arce has found his macho again. There’s two hard rights and Arce is FIRING AWAY! He is leading with his head a ton. Uppercut Vic! GOOD LORD! Arce just takes it, but he backs down. He’s trying to hang onto Vic’s legs. Left from Vic, he’s measuring. He’s in destroyer mode for sure now.
Uppercut lands again! Uppercut lands again moments later. WILD left hook misses. Arce survives the round. Well this isn’t disappointing.

Darchinyan-Arce R5
Arce is doing a lot of leaning and grabbing when he feels the need. Left hook to the body by Arce. Arce throws a wild left hook that misses. Darchinyan shoots the left, blocked. Right hook Vic, and a left follows but mostly misses. Here they go again, fighting inside after they close distance. Arce doing dirty work inside, getting it done. Right hook Vic.
Arce kind of hanging on this round. Left lands for Darchinyan, and Arce taunts. Vic taunts back. Lead right Arce glances. Darchinyan DRILLS Arce with an uppercut that the camera almost misses. Darchinyan FIRING AND THEY ARE PUNCHING AT THE BELL!

Darchinyan-Arce R6
Arce’s left ear is bleeding. Vic warned immediately by Moret for something. THEY’RE WARRING! Arce caught in the ropes. Stiff left Darchinyan doesn’t make it through the guard, but boy did he try. Vic misses a nasty uppercut. Darchinyan NAILS him to the body. Most guys show a lot more hurt from that. Arce is still triple tough.
Darchinyan hit borderline low, but he just fights through it and ignores it, so it likely did nothing. Arce with hooks to the body. Darchinyan covering up as Arce throws. Arce backs to the ropes and throws another hook to the body, then slips a left from Vic. Vic NAILS him just after and flurries before the bell. Arce talks shit back to his corner and I think he stole a second round here.
Arce 10-9

Vogt early, Vogt often.
Darchinyan-Arce R7
Lead rights from Arce don’t do much. He’s really got to open it up. I don’t think he’s got enough to win a decision even if I have this closer than everyone else. I think it’s really just as wide as 60-54 in terms of how they look like they feel right now.
Vic is landing at will for a couple moments. Darchinyan taking Arce to school right now. Arce with a nice hook to the body, but it’s too few and far between for the most part. He looks tired and like he’s going to need a perfect storm. Uppercut lands again. That’s been Vic’s best punch tonight, with the straight left a close second. Darchinyan with two hard shots, Arce wobbles. Uppercut lands again. Arce survives the round. Probably lucky. This is close to ending if Vic pounces hard.

Darchinyan-Arce R8
Arce throws a vicious left that Vic mostly slips. Vic to the body with a left and a right, and he’s feeling cocky. Uppercut lands again. Arce is getting hammered now. He’s about done. Vic takes him to the corner, Arce comes off the ropes clean. Darchinyan is toying with him.
Left hook Arce, but not a lot on it. Vic throws the uppercut and misses. That one doesn’t miss. Arce doing all he can to stay in this fight, essentially. He’s not playing keep-away or running, but he’s surviving. Vic going back to the old brawling ways and missing huge shots. Vic presses him into the ropes with another heavy left. Vic’s nose is bleeding.

Darchinyan-Arce R9
If Arce has any plans on winning this fight, he has to make it a firefight and hope to outgun Vic mid-ring. That’s really all he’s got for a chance to win.
Arce leaning and throwing, but not much on his shots anymore. Darchinyan is kind of taking the round easy. Rough house tactics by Vic and Arce complains of being hit on the back of the head while held. NOW THEY’RE FIRING! 50 seconds left in the round. Moret warns Vic for holding and hitting on the break, and Arce for wrestling.
Nice combo from Vic with about 20 seconds to go. Left stings Arce.

Darchinyan-Arce R10
Arce with a hard body shot, borderline low but Vic again just ignores it. Now Arce is really kind of hanging on for dear life. Darchinyan with a WICKED left hand. How does Arce keep standing at this point? Arce walks into another left. Moments later he does it again. Arce is toast but he keeps hanging in.
Another left lands. Arce stumbles around chasing Vic.

Darchinyan-Arce R11
Arce flings himself into the ropes after a tie-up, and Vic taunts him. Now he’s really toying. Arce sent into the ropes and he’s complaining again. Moret: “That was a punch! Let’s go!”
Darchinyan smells blood and he’s going. Arce wobbled and down, but no knockdown. Vic has 1:20 to close this thing out, and he wants to. Uppercuts are landing, Arce’s bleeding and trying to hang on. His corner should think about stopping this thing. There is nothing to win. Arce with another low blow.
Arce sent to the corner stumbling again. Arce is hurt badly and won’t stop. Someone’s gotta white flag this thing. I’m serious. This is getting ugly.
Left hand lands again, and again Arce is trapped in the corner and on the ropes. Darchinyan winging big punches, but it looks like Arce will survive the round again, and he does.
