Armenian-born southpaw, WBA and WBC super flyweight (115 pounds) champion Vic Darchinyan of Austraila, scored a unanimous and lopsided, 12-round unanimous decision over over Rodrigo Guerrero at the Agua Caliente Casino Resort Spa in Rancho Mirage, Calif.

In victory, the 34-year-old Darchinyan improved to 34-2-1, with 27 knockouts, and, 6-1-1, with five knockouts since suffering a July 2007 fifth-round knockout loss to Nonito Donaire, whom he would like to fight next.

Nicknamed, "Gato," Guerrero slipped to 13-2-1, with nine KOs.

Also on the card was a 12-round, IBO lightweight (135 pounds) bout won by unanimous decision by Austrailia's fast-rising, undefeated Lenny Zappavigna (23-0, 15 KOs) over Fernando "La Fiera" Angulo (22-7, 14 KOs) of Venezuela.

Nicknamed, "Gato," Guerrero (13-2-1, nine KOs) is a natural right-hander who is a switch-hitter.

For the 22-year-old Guerrero, an 11-fight winning streak that had included seven knockouts was ended.

The 22-year-old Zappavigna was on American soil for only the second time in his career.

A former world title challenger, Angulo lost a WBA lightweight championship bid to Juan Diaz in November 2006, ending a 13-fight winning streak.
