FROM MAXBOXING...

Junior middleweight prospect Vanes Martirosyan improved to 12-0 (8) with a second-round stoppage of Texas-based journeyman Tarzone Washington.

Martirosyan started the scheduled eight-round bout aggressive as usual, concentrating on punishing Washington’s long torso with lightening quick body shots. Washington, a Dallas resident who had former welterweight champ Curtis Cokes in his corner, covered up under Martirosyan’s attack and looked to counter with left hooks.

One or two of those counter hooks got through Martirosyan’s guard causing 2004 U.S. Olympian from Glendale (by way of Armenia) to back off and think more before letting his fast hands go. For the rest of the first round, Martirosyan stayed outside of Washington’s reach until he saw openings for crisp body-head combinations that he landed with speed and accuracy.

Martirosyan controlled the pace and tempo of the fight in the second round as Washington, who dropped to 9-6 (8), did not let his hands go enough to present the popular 20-year-old boxer-puncher with a suitable challenge. Washington didn’t get a chance to increase his punch output because an uppercut-hook combination from Martirosyan put him down for the count at 2:22 of the second round.

Great news, even though I knew he would blast Washington away.

If only Matt still posted, he owes me 15K in points.
