A veteran Armenian boxing champ said he was going to raise the stakes by moving to a higher division or seek a rematch with a longtime Filipino foe after he defended his WBC/WBA super flyweight belts against a Mexican challenger Saturday night.

Vic Darchinyan (34-2-1. 27 KOs) looked solid against his younger challenger from Mexico Rodrigo Guerrero (13-2-1, 9 KO) throughout the 12-round bout at the Agua Caliente Casino in Rancho Mirage, California, especially towards the end when the southpaw gave the 22-year-old “Gatito” a series of slashing lefts and uppercuts leading to a commanding unanimous decision.
