LOS ANGELES (AP)\u2014Vic Darchinyan defeated Yonnhy Perez by a technical decision after their scheduled 12-round bantamweight fight Saturday was stopped at 1:07 of the fifth round because Perez had a cut near his eye.<\/p>\n

The fight at the Nokia Theatre went to the scorecards because the cut between Perez\u2019s eyes was the result of an accidental head butt.<\/p>\n

An extremely aggressive Darchinyan (36-3-1, 27 knockouts) dominated a listless Perez (20-2-1, 14 KOs) from beginning to end to win by three identical scores of 50-44.<\/p>\n

Darchinyan, a southpaw who has held titles at flyweight and junior bantamweight, put Perez down in the second round and landed dozens of punishing lefts in his most-impressive performance at 118-pounds.<\/p>\n

The fighters\u2019 heads collided a minute into the fifth round, after which blood gushed from a cut above his right eye.<\/p>\n

Dr. Paul Wallace stopped the fight moments after examining it.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe suffered an arterial bleed,\u201d Wallace said. \u201cOne of his blood vessels had been cut and it was pumping directly into his eye. He gave no indication he wanted to stop.\u201d<\/p>\n

Darchinyan confirmed that the cut was the result of an accidental head.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a head butt,\u201d Darchinyan said. \u201cBut if it wasn\u2019t a head butt, I would\u2019ve knocked him out.\u201d<\/p>\n

The fight was the third-place match in Showtime\u2019s bantamweight tournament.<\/p>\n

IBF bantamweight titleholder Joseph Agbeko was scheduled to fight Abner Mares in the tournament final but Agbeko pulled out on Wednesday because of a back injury.<\/p>\n

Agbeko took the IBF title from Perez.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
