Glendale professional boxer Vanes Martirosyan has improved to 28-0, with 17 wins coming by way of knockout, after a Saturday victory in his debut HBO undercard bout versus undefeated prospect Joe Greene (22-1, 14 KOs).

 

Martirosyan, a 24-year-old native of Abovyan in Armenia dubbed “The Nightmare”, fought a 10-rounder at New York’s Yankee Stadium against “Mean” Greene and won with a unanimous decision to retain his NABF/NABO (North American Boxing Federation/North American Boxing Organization) welterweight titles. The official scores in the fight broadcast by HBO were 96-93, 96-93 and 98-91.

 

Martirosyan’s family moved to Glendale, CA, when he was four years old. His father, an amateur boxer, took him to a boxing gym when he was only seven. Martirosyan went on to enjoy a successful career as an amateur boxer, including representation of the United States in the 2004 Olympics in Athens as a Welterweight. He finished his amateur boxing career at age 20, having a record of 120 wins and 10 losses.

 

“The Nightmare”, standing six feet tall and weighing 154 pounds, turned pro in 2006.

Miguel Cotto turns down Vanes Martirosyan

September 23, 2010 - 18:45 AMT http://media.panarmenian.net/static/images/frontend/sep_circle.gif 13:45 GMTPanARMENIAN.Net - Gabriel Penagaricano, the legal advisor to WBA junior middleweight champion Miguel Cotto, has shed some light on the various rumors connected with the Puerto Rican star's next ring appearance. Penagaricano told Carlos Gonzalez that Cotto had two offers on the table for a possible December 4 doubleheader. Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. was going to fight in the co-feature with Pawel Wolak.

 

Cotto was offered the opportunity to face either Kermit Cintron or Vanes Martirosyan. After considering both fights, Cotto felt there wasn't enough motivationto accept either opponent, so instead he made a decision to sit out until early 2011 when abigger fight becomes available.

 

The original plan had Cotto fighting Chavez Jr. on the December 4 date. Top Rank felt the contest was being staged too close to the Pacquiao-Margarito pay-per-view and pushed it back until the spring of next year. When Chavez Jr. was withdrawn as a possible opponent, Cottofelt Cintron and Vaneswere notsuitable replacements and turned both of those fights down.

 

Penagaricano denied widespread reports that Cotto's decision was based on hisrecent right shoulder surgery which took place inAugust.

 

"With the departure of Julio Cesar Chavez Jr., Miguel knew that the other potential candidates were not on the same scale," said Penagaricano. "They did notmeetMiguel's expectations and he understood that it was best to take the rest of the year off and then return at some point during the first couple of months of 2011. Michael would prefer to wait for an attractive fight. Unless there is a super-attractive fight, which we don't foresee at this time, then we don't see Miguel fightinguntil 2011."

 

Reports in Mexico suggest that Top Rank will now put together a big Latin Fury pay-per-view on the same December date. Chavez Jr. will still likely face Pawel Wolak, but Alfonso Gomez awaits if a deal with Wolak can't be finalized. Vanes Martirosyan will appear on the card and Filipino Nonito Donaire will be involved in a bantamweight contest, possibly against former champion Wladimir Sidorenko, boxingscene.com reported.
