Wtf that's crazy. R.I.P champ.

[Smash]

terrible news

even more tragic as i think he delayed surgery to try to see if his body would heal it on its own and then had surgery it seems too late

googling him i see he was arrested for headbutting his wife at one point but thats neither here nor there when you are dead

Tragic, didn't know he had cancer.

RIP Vanes

I watched a lot of his fights, Probably first learned about him from the guys at Maxboxing - he was fighting out of Los Angeles and I like to track the standouts who are from here or just living and training; he was one of the a great crop of guys around that time. He helped give the Wild Card Gym a name too. Incredibly young, RIP

One of Nash's philosophies is that - even when things are bad, appreciate being alive. One day, Nash will be gone, and all Nash can do is enjoy his time to the max until then. Martirosyan Out. RIP
