Undefeated junior middleweight Vanes Martirosyan appeared on BoxingScene.com's official audio show, Leave It In The Ring Radio, and answered the call of Erislandy Lara. On Thursday, Vanes came on BoxingScene and called for a fight with WBA champion Miguel Cotto. The challenge was followed by another. Lara reached out to BoxingScene with a challenge to Vanes, guaranteeing that he would knock the Armenian fighter out.
Vanes thinks Lara is moving too fast but he would be happy to hand the Cuban prospect his first career loss.
"I thinks he's running too fast and he's going to run into a wall and fall. If he wants to fight, I'll be happy to give him his first loss," Vanes said.
Vanes would later disclose the details of his infamous sparring session with undefeated WBO champion Sergei Dzinziruk, which place earlier this year in the Wild Card Gym in Los Angeles, California. According to the rumors, Vanes was getting the better of Dzinziruk. Vanes confirmed the rumors.
"Sergei came to the gym. I don't think he even knew who I was. I started landing right hands on him and his knees started to buckle. I'm not going to lie, I do have a tape and you could see how I was landing good punches on him. He has a very good jab. I was getting through that jab. I dont want to talk crap about any fighter. I faced a lot of fighters and Dzinzirurk can't punch. I started landing good right hands and in round four and I landed a right hand and he buckled. He was about to go down, but his eye just cut and I stopped because I knew he had a fight [against Daniel Dawson]. I told him that he was cut and they stopped the sparring," Vanes said.
