Vic Darchinyan v Jorge Arce Betting Lines

Championship Boxing doubleheader featuring the rumble between World Super Flyweight Champion Vic “Raging Bull” Darchinyan and World Boxing Association interim super flyweight champion Jorge “Travieso” Arce, and the North American Boxing Organization lightweight championship battle between top contenders Antonio DeMarco and Almazbek “Kid Diamond” Raiymkulov, will take place Saturday, February 7 at Honda Center in Anaheim, Calif.

Darchinyan will defend his unified junior bantamweight titles against Jorge Arce at the Honda Center in Anaheim.

The once-beaten Darchinyan (31-1-1, 25 KOs), of Sydney, Australia, by way of Armenia, will be making his first defense since unifying the 115-pound division with a demonstrative ninth-round knockout over Mexico’s Cristian Mijares Nov. 1, 2008, on SHOWTIME.

For more than a year, one of the most talked-about potential fights in boxing has been a showdown between brash brawlers Vic Darchinyan and Jorge Arce.

However, bad blood between Top Rank and Shaw, combined with Arce (51-4-1, 39 KOs) suffering a one-sided decision loss to Cristian Mijares in April 2007 and Darchinyan (31-1-1, 25 KOs) losing his flyweight title via brutal knockout to Nonito Donaire in July 2007, knocked the fight off track.

Darchinyan ( 31-1-1 , 25 KOs ), of Sydney , Australia by way of Armenia , and Arce (51-4-1, 39 KOs ), from Los Mochis, Mexico, will settle their bitter hostilities toward each other, once and for all, in a fight to the finish.

The popular, crowd-pleasing Jorge “Travieso” Arce, of Los Mochis, Sinaloa, Mexico, is the current WBA interim super flyweight champion and is a former WBC 115-pound and WBO 108-pound titleholder.

Arce has been victorious in five consecutive fights, including a fourth-round TKO over Isidro Garcia Nov. 1, 2008, to capture the interim WBA strap, and has won 31 out of his last 32. The only loss during his scintillating run came on a 12-round decision to Mijares on April 14, 2007.

Their battle will be televised live nationally on SHOWTIME Championship Boxing, beginning at 9 p.m. ET /PT (delayed on the West Coast.)
