HyeFighter Gevor TKOs Asikainen for Euro belt!

Middleweight title contender Khoren Gevor (30-3, 16 KOs) won the European middleweight championship with a seventh round KO over Amin Asikainen (25-2, 17 KOs) on Friday before over 9000 fanatical supporters at the Hartwall Arena in Helsinki, Finland.

Already in the first round both fighter held back nothing and a left hook by Gevor near the end of the round sent Asikainen to the canvas. In the next few rounds, however, Asikainen got the upper hand and gave Gevor problems. Gevor took command again in round five and opened round seven with an explosive attack that again sent Asikainen to the deck. Asikainen made it back on his feet at the count of eight, but his corner threw in the towel.

The deeply disappointed, but fair Finnish audience applauded the winner Gevor when leaving from the nearly sold-out arena. Gevor can use the European belt as a springboard toward another world title challenge.

"Khor had a great fight," trainer Fritz Sdunek said proudly. First, he wanted to decide it with power, but then adjusted to his strengths and good counter-punching. A deserved victory!"

HyeFighter Darchinyan wins by KO click image above to view album (Pictures Compliments of Raymond Rodriguz)   In a highly anticipated WBC/WBA/IBF super flyweight unification bout, HyeFighter Vic Darchinyan (30-1-1, 24 KOs) dominated, punished and eventually knocked out Cristian Mijares (36-3-2, 14 KOs) to claim all three 115lb belts on Saturday night at the Home Depot in Carson, California. Darchinyan came out aggressively and dropped Mijares with a quick and precise  uppercut at the end of the first round to set the tone of the bout. Darchinyan continued to stalk as the bout progressed and Mijares seemed unable to figure out Darchinyan's powerful and unrelenting style. The bout ended with a spectacular ninth round KO when Darchinyan laid out Mijares for good with a huge straight left. Time was 3:00.

HyeFighter Vanes Martirosyan wins by KO quickly destroys Howe, stays unbeaten It took rising, HyeFighter star Vanes "The Nightmare" Martirosyan just under a minute and a half to put opponent Charlie Howe down and out inside the Mandalay Events Center in Las Vegas Saturday Night proving he is ready, able and willing to have his shot. Martirosyan came out sharp, as usual and took command with on target punches. The former Olympian quickly found a range for his jab and followed them up with crisp right hands only a couple times before finding pay dirt. In only seconds Martirosyan tagged Howe with an overhand right that sent him crashing to the floor. After beating the count, Howe continued the contest, but not for long, as Martirosyan found his mark quickly and finished the still recovering Ohio native at 1:20 of the opening round. It was referee Tony Gibson who stepped in and saved Howe (16-6-2, 6 KOs) who lasted ten rounds with John Duddy this past June.

UPCOMING FIGHT

Darchinyan's Comments about his upcoming fight

HYEFIGHTER VIC DARCHINYAN

"He is a very good fighter, but when he feels my punches he will feel different. He's fought some tough guys, but no one like me.

"I know when I'm talking that I will deliver. I'm going to be too much for him. He's overrated.
"I've fought southpaws before. It's no different for me.
"I'm going to do some boxing. You're going to see how fast and smart I am on Saturday.
"I'm going to put on a show for my Armenian fans at The Home Depot Center.
"I'm very confident and ready for this fight. I'm ready to fight anyone.
"I think I am the best fighter he has ever, and will ever, fight. His style is an amateur style. I will deliver.
"I want to become the undisputed world champion after this fight.
"On Saturday, you're going to see a different Vic Darchinyan. I won't try to take him out with just one punch. You're going to see a much smarter Vic on Saturday night.
"Mijares is a very good fighter, but that's OK when you fight someone that doesn't have the power that I have. He's fought guys that don't have my power.
"The Mexican fans are going to support me because they are going to see a warrior. They like to see warriors and they will see it in me on Saturday.
"People pay the money and they want to see exciting fights. I'll give it to them on Saturday.
"In my one loss my opponent didn't beat me, I beat myself. You won't see any of that against Mijares. I'm going to prove that I am focused to be the undisputed world champion.
"All I'm thinking about is this fight. I haven't been this excited and dedicated since my first world title fight.
"The only fight I wanted was Mijares. I want to fight who everyone thinks is the best so I can prove that I'm the best."
