Hard-hitting undefeated junior middleweight Vanes “Nightmare” Martirosyan (19-0, 13 KO’s) easily dispatched outgunned Michi “El Matador” Munoz (20-2, 13 KO’s) to score a third round TKO.
Martirosyan (155) dropped Munoz (156) at 1:30 of the opening stanza in a bout scheduled for ten rounds with a whistling counter left hook to the head. The 21-year-old Martirosyan, Glendale, California via Abovyan, Armenia was simply the classier fight and he continued to land the heavier artillery in the abbreviated contest.
Munoz, Topeka, Kansas, via Guanajuato, Mexico took a knee at the 1:20 mark of the 3rd, after the six-footer Martirosyan scored with a sharp right hand and a left jab that may well have broken his opponent’s nose. Referee Kenny Bayless eventually halted the mismatch at the 2:20 mark of the third stanza.
Trainer Ronnie Shields continues to bring Martirosyan along nicely, as the young Armenian slugger repeatedly looks impressive in each outing while displaying his wealth of talent.
