Flyweight superstar Vic Darchinyan will protest the "technical decision" result of his win over Glenn Donaire on Saturday night in Las Vegas. The one-sided bout ended with Donaire telling referee Tony Weeks that he believed his jaw was broken by a headbutt and he couldn't go on. Weeks took Donaire at his word and sent the bout to the scorecards, even though no headbutt was apparent. On Monday the Darchinyan camp will send a tape along with a protest to Nevada State Athletic Commission in an effort to get the result changed to a KO. "I couldn't understand why it's a technical decision if his corner stopped the fight and he turned away," said Darchinyan after the fight. "It was a punch not a head butt."
