In an earlier report on BoxingScene.com, undefeated junior middleweight prospect Vanes Martirosyan scathingly called out WBO junior middleweight champion Sergiy Dzinziruk, and the rest of the division, for not fighting him. Vanes was particularly upset at a proposed fight between Dzinzurik and former welterweight champion Luis Collazo.  The story can be found here. 

Gary Shaw read the story and told BoxingScene - "He (Martirosyan) should have no problem getting a [Migue] Cotto fight, as his promoter (Top Rank) only does in-house fights. When Bob [Arum] gives me Cotto or [Julio Ceasar] Chavez Jr. for [Alfredo] Angulo, or Pac Man for [Tim] Bradley, then I will let Vanes fight Dzinziruk."

"Until then, he needs to get more tissues, as he will continue to cry. Vanes needs to understand, when your promoter builds walls, sometimes you get trapped within them.  The thing is, is that I really do like Vanes."

 

Shaw has been angling for a fight between Angulo and Cotto since Angulo stopped Alcine in the first round last month.  Wouldn't it be refreshing if we could get a Cotto-Angulo main event with a Dzinzurik-Martirosyan co-feature with the winners squaring off at a later date?  I don't know if HBO would have the budget for that doubleheader but if these promoters really want to put on good pay-per-view undercards, then this would be a good start.
