This is what BoxingScene had to say when Michi Munoz fought Vanes Martirosyan back in February... lets see how Winky does
No such problems in the career of 21-year old Vanes "Nightmare" Martirosyan, as things are just getting started for the undefeated junior middleweight prospect and 2004 US Olympian. While the main event left the crowd booing throughout, Martirosyan gave 'em plenty of reason to cheer with a three-round beatdown of Michi Munoz in the televised co-feature.
The brash Armenian, now residing in Glendale, California, was on the attack early and often throughout, scoring three knockdowns in the brief yet punishing affair. A counter left hand put Munoz on the deck early in the opening round, drawing chants of "Va-Nes" from the crowd, which came alive anytime Martirosyan had his Mexican foe in any trouble.
Martirosyan remained on the attack in round two, landing several 1-2's upstairs while keeping Munoz within punching range throughout. Munoz managed to stay on his feet throughout the round, but was forced to take a knee midway through the third after taking one right hand too many. He beat referee Kenny Bayliss' mandatory eight count, but would've been better served to remain on the canvas. Martirosyan teed off on the Mexican before forcing him to a knee for the round's second knockdown, this time with Bayliss immediately waving off the bout.
The official time was 2:20 of round three.
