By Thomas Gerbasi - For most pros with nearly a decade of experience, a set of regional title belts and a world championship fight on their resume, starting over and getting some tough love in the gym isn’t the preferred option, but Vanes Martirosyan is embracing the newest chapter of his career, one that begins this Friday night with an ESPN Friday Night Fights bout against Mario Alberto Lozano.
“When I went to Joe, I had never sparred 15 rounds in my life, and he had me sparring 15 rounds,” said Martirosyan, who is now being coached by Joe Goossen after a long stint with Freddie Roach. “He even started laughing when he asked me how much rope I jumped before I started. I said three rounds. He said ‘I can do three rounds; you should do eight rounds.’ Everything was surprising, everything was different, and you felt like it doesn’t come that easy – you need to work your butt off. And when he speaks, he gets to me really well. My father loves it, I love it, and we’re going to do good things together.” [Click Here To Read More]
