Ferdinand Kerobyan wanted to make a ferocious comeback after dealing with an adversity-laden loss in March. He emphatically made his return as the main event of the Golden Boy Promotions card Friday in Pasadena, Calif., knocking down Daniel Evangelista Jr. four times en route to an easy second round technical knockout victory.
It didn’t take long for Ferdinand Kerobyan to move past the disappointment of suffering his lone career loss. Having to brace for the reality of no longer facing an Olympic-level boxer for his next outing however, was a slightly more bitter to swallow. “I just want to come out here and show that I’m a top prospect, that one loss doesn’t change what I can do in the ring,” Kerobyan (11-1, 6KOs) told BoxingScene.com ahead of Friday’s clash with Daniel Evangelista Jr., a late replacement for injured Oscar Molina. “The chance to face Molina, a 2012 Olympian with that deep amateur pedigree and from a fighting family (twin bother Javier and older brother Carlos are also pro boxers), I was really excited for that fight.”
Ferdinand Kerobyan had to throw his entire game plan out of the window 13 seconds into his last fight against Blair Cobbs in March.
