There's two kind of prospects in boxing...One kind is an over hyped, over protected, carefully matched, untested prospect like DUDDY, CHAVEZ JR., KHAN, ect...the SECOND kind of prospect is a very skilled, not too flashy, workerman's face, where you get the sense that one day he WILL become champion...First time I did a "prospect check" was many moons ago when I warned everyone about PAVLIK becoming the next big thing while everyone was still stuck on TAYLOR, MIRANDA, and ABRAHAM...and now, everybody jumped on my PAVLIK wagon...here we go again with the "prospect check"... everybody look out for VANES MARTIROSYAN...this guy has it all, poise, combo speed, decent power, and most importantly, a solid chin....I've seen him get put under pressure, and get walloped hard that his neck snapped and what I admire about him is HOW he handles preassure...u see, alot of todays prospects wont be thrown in there with raw dogs...they would rather have a glorified sparring session..But VANES is an all around fighter, folks...when you have sound, text book style, solid fundamentals, you can never go wrong...VANES might not be all up in the camera talking crap like MALIGNAGGI, he's all work no party, like PAVLIK...Dont be surprized when you see VANES slowly creep into P.P.V undercards, then headline, mabey against another "prospect"...but I have a strong feeling that he's gonna be champ before he eats his first loss...i was right before, im gonna be right again....
