Martirosyan(18-0) -vs- Munoz(20-1) :boxing:
Promising junior middleweight Vanes Martirosyan steps up to the 10-round distance when he opens Thursday’s Versus show against Jorge “Michi” Munoz, a 26-year-old Mexican boxer from Topeka, KS, who brings a respectable record of 20 wins and one loss. The only problem here is that when Munoz went in against his first really solid opponent he was widely outpointed by Contender competitor Joey Gilbert.
At least Munoz showed he can go 12 rounds in the fight with Gilbert, who is quite a strong puncher — in fact he was the only one of Gilbert’s last six opponents to hear the final bell.
Martirosyan, though, looks to be on a different level to Munoz. The tall Armenian-born boxer-puncher was exciting on his last Versus appearance when blasting out Oregon’s Dan Wallace in the first round but in his most recent fight he had to go the full six rounds when winning a widely scored decision over trial horse Clarence Taylor, while in October Martirosyan also was taken the limit by the durable Patrick Thompson.
Munoz looks another somewhat durable sort, but as I have not seen him I do not know what to expect. The fight seems designed as a Martirosyan showcase, but one in which U.S. Olympic representative will be taken some rounds. Maybe this will be a little like the Amir Khan fight on Saturday in which the up-and-coming boxer has his longest bout while adding to his ring education. There does not seem to be much doubt about who is going to win — but what will be interesting is how Martirosyan gets the job done.

Easy work...
Who is next, Vanes is ready for better competition.
This Munoz guy had gone a full 12 round decision against decent contender Joey Gilbert so I wouldn't discredit his resume allll thatttt much.
WELL DONE VANES (19-0, 13KOs)
Martirosyan wins easily, by 3rd round TKO.
Another nice performance by Vanes, although Munoz wasn't nearly as good as his 20-1 record might suggest.
a win is a win ;)
No doubt. Mike Tyson ducked Tye Fields, it was the best move he ever made.
yep, Lennox Lewis retired after he beat vitali because tye was calling him out,
Fileds retired Lewsi!
My prediction on Vanes's Career:
He gets a BIG fight in a year or two with a major step up in class and gets knocked out badly.
And then he remains in the position that Joel Julio is in now, fighting lesser fighters that build his skills.
And then the next time he takes that step up, he will be a much more polished fighter and will make a huge splash in whichever division he is in at that point.
i bet if he wins titles and what not you'r gonna jump on his bandwagon kinda like you jumped on Pavliks...

I didnt think your boy was that heavy, he's still young by the time he's ready for a belt he will be a middle or super middleweight.
he makes weight pretty easily now so i guess it all depends on how he will grow... Vanes does want to one day be champion at Jr. Middleweight though before ever considering moving up.
