Genady Martirosyan
By Alexey Sukachev
HyeFighters middleweight slugger Gennady Martirosyan (19-2, 8 KOs) is expected to make a return to the world rankings following his all-action two-way knockout win over Spaniard Miguel Angel Pena (28-15-4, 9 KOs) several hours ago at the Gladiator Fight Club in St. Petersburg, Russia. Martirosyan vs. Pena for a vacant WBO European 160lb belt topped a huge local card, arranged by Jab Promotions.
After the tedious first round, Martirosyan brought some real heat to the 36-years old Pyrenean guest and dropped him twice at the beginning of the second stanza. After the latter knockdown, St. Petersburg-based Armenian went to have the job done and was amazingly dropped down himself after a short but powerful left hand by Pena. Martirosyan survived till the end of the stanza and came back to the basics in the next round. He was able to wobble the Spanish fighter with a strong right hand at the end of the first minute of the round and sent him down at the finish of the second for the third time in the contest. Martirosyan went right after the Spaniard once again and was also once again hurt by Pena not to capitalize on his previous success. Round four was calmer until the end when the local hero rocked his foe with a brutal left to the stomach. The end came during the fifth, when Pena was down after a left-right one-two by Gennady, hardly got himself upright only to be floored for the fifth time in the fight, prompting referee to stop the bout inside the distance. |

Karo Parisyan:
By Percy Crawford from FightHype.com
"I think it's a great style for me. It's a great matchup. I eat Jiu Jitsu guys for breakfast a lot of times. He's tough and he's got really good Jiu Jitsu and good standup. He's a well-rounded fighter, but I have fought 2 and 3-time Jiu Jitsu world champion guys man. And I'm a grappler myself so I really have some surprises for him. I have a tremendous respect for Dustin as an opponent...I should be able to overpower him, beat on him a little bit and catch him in submissions myself. Dustin is not going to do anything that I've never seen before. He's not going to throw anything my way that I've never seen. He's good off of his back and a good Jiu Jitsu guy, but that's all he is," stated stated UFC welterweight contender Karo Parisyan as he talked about his return to the Octagon after a long layoff to face Dustin Hazelett at UFC 106. Check it out!
PC: Karo, it has been a very long time since we last spoke. How are you doing man? KP: Good man. I'm just training; 3 weeks until the fight, so 2 more weeks of hard training so I'm ready to go.
PC: Who have you been working with to prepare for Hazelett? KP: I worked with Randy a little bit in Vegas. I did a couple of weeks out there. They have good wrestlers, good stand up guys, boxers and Jiu Jitsu guys; a lot of tall and lanky guys like Dustin. I've been getting them to kind of mimic what he does and I'm working on a lot of strength and conditioning. I just came back from training and its freaking hell, you know?
PC: I spoke to Dustin earlier and asked if he thought you were a good opponent for him because both of you guys had long layoffs. He felt that it didn't really matter, but thought you were a good fight for him style-wise. Do you think his style is a good one for you as well? KP: I think it's a great style for me. It's a great matchup. I eat Jiu Jitsu guys for breakfast a lot of times. He's tough and he's got really good Jiu Jitsu and good standup. He's a well-rounded fighter, but I have fought 2 and 3-time Jiu Jitsu world champion guys man. And I'm a grappler myself so I really have some surprises for him. I have a tremendous respect for Dustin as an opponent. I don't know him as a person, but he looks like a nice guy. But like I said, I have been training a lot with tall and lanky guys. I think it is a great matchup due to the fact that I should be able to overpower him, beat on him a little bit and catch him in submissions myself. Dustin is not going to do anything that I've never seen before. He' not going to throw anything my way that I've never seen. He's good off of his back and a good Jiu Jitsu guy, but that's all he is. I'm a grappler myself, a Judo artist. I have good takedowns and my standup has come a long way, so it's a very good matchup man. I can't wait. I can't wait to get in the cage and it's going to be a lot of fun.
PC: You haven't fought since January and you will be coming off of a suspension. How did you deal with that mentally? KP: It was a long layoff, yeah man. And I got married and a lot of stuff going on. It was a long layoff, but like I said man, I could be off for 4 or 5 years and still perform. I was off for 3 years and came back and fought Jason "Mayhem" Miller and dominated Mayhem. The doctor threw the towel in because he couldn't watch what was going on. I full mounted him and pounded on him, so I've fought before while coming back. As long as I'm training. I'm good. But the commission...I really got screwed man, big time. I thought that they should have made it a little bit easier for me, but they didn't. They gave me a real fist in the butt.
PC: They came down on you pretty hard. Have you taken care of all of the issues with the medication so you won't be in the same situation? KP: Yeah. I'm feeling good now. I had a pulled hamstring and it always hurt, so I was taking something every now and then because it always hurt. It never healed. I have a chunk of muscle missing out of my leg, but it's all good. Everything is straight and like I said, I'm trying to stay focused and train for the fight. I want to beat Dustin pretty decisively.
PC: You fought another lanky Jiu Jitsu artist in Nick Diaz and that turned out to be a very good fight. Do you see Dustin in that same light or would you put him a peg under Diaz? KP: No, I see a similar fight. It is a very similar matchup as to when I fought Nick Diaz. The thing is Diaz just keeps coming forward and forward man and that's how he breaks his opponent and beats them, so I'm going to push the pace on Dustin. I'm going to go man and I'm going to try to finish him.
PC: He's coming off of a layoff because of an injury, so at some point, he had to take time off from training. Your layoff is because of a suspension, so you could actually get in the gym still. Is that why it's important that you push the pace in hopes of tiring him out? KP: Yeah. It should be a real good fight, I hope, and I want to win with conditioning. I want to put him on his back and wherever it goes, I'm going to be comfortable. I want to beat him up decisively and I want to outcondition him. I've been working on my conditioning a lot, my strength, my hands and my grappling. But that's it man. I'm going to push the pace and try to get that year that he's been off to show up. I want to see that ring rust. I will control the cage in every aspect of the fight, take him down, beat him up and get a submission or try to knock him out. Wherever this fight goes is fine. I'm sure he's got a lot of Judo guys to help him prepare for me, but every guy that I've fought, I've thrown. Even when I fight Judo guys, I eventually get my throw in and end up on top. When I fought Dong Yun Kim, he was a National Judo Champion in Korea. I believe he was 12-0; a great Judo guy. He was a National Team member and Korean Judo is freaking sick and I was able to throw him. I was in good shape that night, but I had taken some pain pills for my leg and I was sleepy during the fight.
PC: You have been labeled as a lazy fighter, a guy who doesn't train hard and a cocky fighter. What do you feel is the biggest misconception about Karo Parisyan? KP: People don't understand man, when I talk, I am a real honest guy. When I am asked a particular question, I give a real honest answer. Sometimes it comes out wrong and people think I'm a douche and stuff. I don't think it comes off as a douche, I just think it's honest man. I think people misunderstand that a lot. They think I'm a douche, I love to talk and that I'm cocky. I'm never cocky man. When it comes down to the fight, I always respect my opponent and I know what could happen in the fight, so I'm not even cocky like that. It is a thin line between cocky and confidence. I like to show confidence and I think it's a misconception a lot of times on the way I come off, the way I talk and the things that I say. People like to say I'm not in shape and stuff, but shape or no shape, I am going to give you hell during the fight. I got a big heart and I've shown it many many times in my fights. I'm going to push this fight man. I'm going to prove people wrong. It's like the rebirth of Karo Parisyan. I gotta take over the division. I have never had an easy fight. I've always had tough guys in front of me. You can look at my record. This is a time to shine again and I'm just praying to God for the old Karo back. I don't want to be a better Karo. I just want to be the old Karo. I just want to keep training, stay focused and bring my big heart, which I have always had and always will have. When I fight, people bring the best out of me. When they push me or try to beat me up, that's when I open up. When they open up, that's when I open up. Every time I have had a boring fight, it is when guys don't really try to do anything to me. Kim didn't try to do much. He was fighting safe, so I had to be safe, but I think Dustin is going to try to open up and he's going to go for stuff and there's going to be times when I'm going to give him hell, from standup to ground.
PC: I like this fight a lot. Glad to have you back my man. Good luck. Is there anything you want to say in closing? KP: I've been getting a lot of fan mail lately and I appreciate all of the fans. I love each and every one of them because if it wasn't for the fans paying to watch us fight and come to the show or pay for the pay-per-view, then we wouldn't have a sport. Karo would have been Karo and Dustin would have been Dustin, but we wouldn't have a job, so I want to give a big salute and take my hat off to the fans of the sport. And like I said, I can't wait to come back. |

Artyom Hovahannisyan KO's
by Francisco Salazar at ringside & pictures by Big Joe Miranda
Unbeaten HyeFighter Art Hovahannisyan is a boxer who can move and box. However, it is his most recent string of knockouts that has awed people in attendance. His most recent knockout was no different. Hovhannisyan, who took the bout on two days notice, knocked out Adrian Navarette in the first round of a scheduled six round bout before about 500 at the famed Commerce Casino in Commerce, CA. The bout headlined a “Battle of the Rising Stars” card, presented by All Star Boxing.
Originally, Navarette was supposed to face Cleotis Pendarvis, who was coming off a close eight round majority decision loss to Mauricio Herrera just two weeks ago. However, Pendarvis withdrew from the fight the day before the way because of personal family reasons.
Hovhannisyan stepped in as a replacement, winning four out of his last six bouts by knockout. His last fight was last month, where he stopped durable veteran Baudel Cardenas in the fifth round of a scheduled six round bout. Navarette was coming off a stoppage victory in his last fight in August over hard-hitting Joel Ortega. Hovhannisyan started the bout strong, taking the initiative and landing hard rights to the head of Navarette. Hovhannisyan also slipped in hooks to the head and body of Navarette.
Navarette tried
to fight back, but did not have an answer
for Hovhannisyan’s repeated offense. Navarette lay motionless on the canvas, prompting commission officials to order the paramedics in the ring to tend to Navarette. After a few tense moments, Navarette began to move his arms and legs. He was eventually strapped onto the gurney and wheeled out of the venue, blinking his eyes and moving his fingers.
Hovhannisyan, from Glendale, CA by way of Yerevan, Armenia, improves to 10-0-1, 5 KO’s. Navarette, from Durango, Mexico, drops to 17-6-1, 10 KO’s. Boxrec.com lists Navarette with a record of 18-7-1, 14 KO’s entering Thursday night’s fight. |

Karen Darabedyan Join the WEC
by Dann Stupp on Oct 21, 2009 at 7:20 pm ET
With the addition of WEC newcomer Karen Darabedyan (8-1 MMA, 0-0 WEC), the fight card for next month’s WEC 44 event is now complete. WEC officials today announced the full fight card for the Nov. 18 event, which features a main event between WEC featherweight champion Mike Brown and challenger Jose Aldo. The show takes place at The Pearl at the Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas, and the night’s four-fight main card airs on Versus. “WEC continually delivers some of the best fights in the business,” WEC General Manager Reed Harris stated. “With this event taking place the same week as UFC 106, we guarantee that this will be one of the best fight weeks in the history of the sport.” As MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) first reported earlier today, Anthony Pettis was recently forced out of his lightweight bout with Rob McCullough (17-5 MMA, 8-3 WEC). WEC officials weren’t immediately sure who would take the vacant spot on the night’s televised card, though Darabedyan ultimately got the call to face the former WEC lightweight champion. Darabedyan, a training partner of WEC 44 co-headliner Manny Gamburyan, is a Los Angeles-based fighter who’s racked up an 8-1 professional record during his three-year pro career. Half of his victories have come via stoppage, and his lone loss came to former UFC fighter Koji Oishi via decision. The official fight card for WEC 44 now includes: MAIN CARD
PRELIMINARY CARD (un-aired)

Abraham beats Taylor
By Karl Freitag from FightNews.com We have the first winner in SHOWTIMES’s groundbreaking SUPER SIX Tournament. The bout took place at Berlin’s O2 World before a sold-out crowd of 14,000+.
In a clash of
former middleweight world champions,
unbeaten Arthur Abraham (31-0, 25 KOs)
scored a spectacular late knockout over
Jermain Taylor (28-4, 17 KOs) before 14,000+
at the sold out O2 World in Berlin, Germany
in the first round of SHOWTIME’s “Super Six
World Boxing Classic” super middleweight
tournament. A huge right hand put Taylor
down and out with just 16 seconds left in
the fight. Round One: Mostly a “feeling out” round. Abraham landed a couple of good rights. Round Two: Taylor hit Abraham with a low blow, and later with a good left hook. Abraham landed some glancing blows when swarming Taylor. Round Three: Taylor active with his jab, Abraham landed some power shots. Round Four: Another low blow from Taylor, who began throwing more power shots. Abraham didn’t do much. Round Five: Abraham much more aggressive, trying to turn the “boxing match” into a fight. Round Six: Taylor deducted a point for another low blow by referee referee Jose Guadalupe Garcia. Finally some exchanges! Abraham getting the better of it. Round Seven: Taylor’s jab still working well, but when the fight opens up, it’s Abraham doing more damage. Round Eight: Abraham lowered his guard trying to entice Taylor to mix it up. Round Nine: Abraham momentarily staggered Taylor with a huge right hand, but didn’t follow up. Taylor recovered quickly. Round Ten: Taylor still jabbing. Abraham looking to land big shots. Round Eleven: Taylor keeping his hands moving. Abraham came on at the end of the round. Round Twelve: Taylor still jabbing. Abraham connecting with some power shots. Abraham landed a huge right hand knocking out Taylor with seconds left in the fight. Time was 2:44. Abraham’s KO will have extra significance in the Super Six tournament as each fighter’s three “Group Stage” matchups are for points. 3 points for a KO/TKO victory 2 points for a decision win. 1 point for a draw 0 points for a loss After the Group Stage, the four fighters with the highest point totals will advance to the single-elimination Semi-Finals. The winners of the Semi-Final bouts will advance to the Finals and fight for the inaugural Super Six World Boxing Classic trophy. |

fans will be in attendance when the two
former champions open the Super Six World
Boxing Classic in Germany´s capital on
Saturday night (SHOWTIME®, 8 p.m. ET/PT,

today when he publicly questioned his
opponent’s class. Asked how he would rank
Abraham, he replied: “There is nothing
special about him. He has some power and I
know he will be prepared to do battle, (but
he is) just a normal fighter. I would not
rank him at the top with some of the other
fighters I have fought.”

Story by Bob Hough -

Jermain Taylor knows, all too well, that there’s truth in the belief that hard work can earn great success, but with losing focus, that person suffers. Taylor beat Bernard Hopkins twice, and stood among boxing’s best. He ate more, took life easier, then lost three out of four fights, getting bludgeoned in two of the losses. Reality has hit home, real strong and real clear, Taylor (28-3-1, 17 KOs) said Tuesday in a conference call with Arthur Abraham (30-0, 24 KOs), whom he fights in Berlin, Germany, on October 17th as part of the Super Six World Boxing Classic, a tournament of super-middleweight fights including Andre Dirrell, Carl Froch, Mikkel Kessler and Andre Ward. “I got comfortable,” Taylor, 31 said. “I was doing things I wasn’t supposed to do to stay in tip-top shape. With training, I was training hard, but I wasn’t training right.” He wasn’t eating right, either, according to trainer Ozell Nelson, to a point that he had to lose 20 pounds in the two weeks before his last fight, a 12th-round knockout loss to Froch. “He’s training at weight, which makes a big difference,” said Nelson, who joined his fighter on the call. One big reason: Big Macs. “Jermain loves to eat; he loves a Big Mac,” Nelson said. “This cat here, he can’t have Big Macs, so he’s ready.” Nelson said it’s hard to overstate the difference between focusing on Abraham and focusing on losing weight. “We know Arthur is a big hitter so we’ve been working on a bunch of different ways to take away some of that power,” he said. “Jermain’s in excellent shape and had his weight down for the first time in years.” Abraham, meanwhile, is ready for the fight, and not concerned that Taylor’s faced better fighters than he has. He is tranquil and confident to a point that he comes across as ready to fight polar bears. Low-key as he is, the Armenian who lives in Germany is determined to stand where Taylor stood.
“I have three, four, five years left and I want to make the most of it,” he said from Zinnowitz, Germany, a town of 3,700 on the country’s northwest coast where he’s training. The move from 160 to 168 pounds is making life easier, said Abraham, who defended his middleweight title 10 times before surrendering it after his last fight, in June, a 10th-round TKO of lightly regarded Mahir Oral. “It’s a great thing for me,” he said. “I’m so happy. I’m in a great mood. I spent so much time making weight so I’m really relieved. I’m just so happy when I go work out that I don’t have worry about that. I’m a happy man at super middleweight.” Abraham pays no attention to Taylor’s past stamina problems; his loss to Froch; his two losses to Kelly Pavlik, one by TKO. “Taylor has beaten Hopkins,” he noted. “That’s all you need to know and say about him. He’s a good boxer. There’s nothing really else I can say about him. I don’t really think I should praise him anymore here. So we’ll just see what happens on October 17.” While Abraham isn’t thinking about his opponent’s recent struggles, Taylor does dwell on his loss to Froch.
“I think about
it all the time,” he said of the fight in
which he was stopped with 14 seconds left,
when he was ahead on all three scorecards.
“If I had trained a little bit harder, if I
had lost that weight a little bit earlier .
. . .” “I’ve done everything there is to do in boxing, but I’m not ready to go yet,” he said from Houston, Texas, where he’s training at George Foreman’s gym. “I’m not ready to go yet. I feel like there is more to accomplish.” There’s a desire to write a happy ending, not a need to pay the electricity bill, said Taylor, who mentioned, “I kept my money good.” “I just want to win this tournament,” he said. “There ain’t nothing else to it. It’s not about the money or anything, but that I want to win. I plan to just leave it all in there. That’s all I got. That’s my state of mind right now. No excuses. Just go in there and fight.” |
“I
have big goals,” Abraham, 29, said through
an interpreter. “I am fighting to have big
fights in America. I want to win the title
and have big fights like Sugar Ray Leonard,
Mayweather and Oscar De La Hoya had, in the
States because I love America and it’s my
goal to make a big fight like in Las Vegas
or Madison Square Garden in New York. This
Super Six tournament will only help me get
that big fight in America.” Time
is short, he knows.Fight News

& Champion Arthur Abraham
Arthur
is one of the favorites for a reason
One look at Arthur Abraham in action might not be enough to convince you that he’s special. The unbeaten Armenian-German super middleweight has an awkward style. He’s not a beautiful stylist. And he doesn’t appear to be particularly fast. “You watch him on TV and you think, ‘This guy looks so beatable,’” former middleweight titleholder Raul Marquez said. Then Marquez stepped through the ropes and met Abraham face to face. And it wasn’t pretty. Marquez, a tough, seasoned veteran in the twilight of his career, encountered an unusually strong and deceptively skillful athlete with experience and a fighter’s heart in a middleweight bout last November. This guy, it turns out, is a freakin monster who stopped Marquez in six rounds. This is why Abraham joins Mikkel Kessler as the favorites to win the round-robin Super Six Boxing Classic. Abraham opens against Jermain Taylor on Oct. 17 in Berlin, Germany. “Abraham is a very difficult guy to beat,” said Marquez, who also fought Taylor. “He’s strong, durable, he can take a shot, he can give a shot. And you saw what happened against Edison Miranda. He broke (Abraham's) jaw but kept going. That’s a warrior. “The guy is just a bull. I’m not saying that because I fought him and he beat me. That’s what I really think.” King Arthur (30-0, 24 knockouts) already has conquered Germany, where all but two of his fights have taken place. Gunnar Meinhardt, a respected boxing writer and fellow Berliner, said Abraham doesn’t have the status of the giant Klitschko brothers in Germany but would be next in line in terms of widespread popularity. The Germans like a winner as much anyone and Abraham, a former middleweight titleholder with 10 successful defenses, has never lost. They like him as a person. Meinhardt said his reputation is that of a gentleman and an accomplished chess player, so devoted to the game that he was the invited guest of the Armenian national chess team during the recent world championships in Germany. And they love his success story. Abraham immigrated to Germany with his family when he was 14 and is now a star. “He has a very strong mind, very strong will,” Meinhardt said. “That’s because of his roots. He came from Armenia, a very poor country. He grew up very poor as boy. Now he knows what it’s like to have a very good life. And he knows how hard you have to work to get there. “This is how Abraham is, a tough guy.” Abraham proved his toughness in his 2006 fight against Miranda, who broke the then-titleholder’s jaw in the fourth round. The champion somehow persevered in spite of extreme pain, which was reminiscent of the first Muahmmad Ali-Ken Norton fight. Only Abraham, unlike Ali, pulled out a unanimous decision to retain his belt. It reportedly took two titanium plates and 22 surgically implanted screws to repair his jaw. The feat didn’t go unnoticed his adopted homeland. “It was a big win for me,” Abraham said through a translator on a conference call Tuesday. “It made me even more popular than if it were just a normal victory. … No one fights eight rounds with a broken jaw and wins. It was a big victory. “Then, when I came to the States (for the rematch in 2008 in Hollywood, Fla.), I took revenge and showed what kind of boxer I am. Those were two very important fights for me.” Abraham has a lot more going for him than just toughness, as Marquez pointed out. Marquez, who fought him at 160 pounds, said he was surprised by Abraham’s physical strength. He described him as a “big, thick middleweight. It was like hitting a brick wall. He’s by far the strongest guy I ever fought.” It apparently isn’t easy to hit the brick wall. Abraham holds his hands together in front of his face, similar to Winky Wright, a defense that is very difficult to penetrate. Marquez said he’s much faster and athletic than he might seem to be. He’s a very economical puncher, meaning he doesn’t waste punches but makes them count when he does unload. In other words, Marquez said, it hurts when he hits you. And he no longer has to struggle to make the middleweight limit of 160 pounds. He gave up his 160-pound title and is a full-fledged 168-pounder, which means he's been able to focus less on the scale and more on boxing. Add all that up – toughness, strength, speed, athleticism, good defense, hard, accurate punches and a more-comfortable weight class – and you understand what Marquez is talking about. Then you throw in a pinch of craziness and Taylor might be in trouble on Oct. 17. “I went to see Jermain train (in Houston),” said Marquez, who lives in Houston. “He wanted some pointers. He wanted to know what I thought about Abraham. I told him the truth. He’s a strong guy. You can’t afford to get tired. He’s very durable. You can pound on him and pound on him and he'll call you over and say, ‘Hit me some more.’ I think it gives him energy or something. “I told Jermain he’s a strong guy who hits harder than you do. You better be in good shape.” Abraham, 29, opens the Super Six tournament in familiar surroundings; this will be his sixth fight in Berlin. However, he probably will fight in the United States – for the second time – at some point in the tournament. And when he wins the competition, he says, he hopes it will be a springboard to more big fights in the U.S. “Making big fights in America is what drives me,” he said. “… I want to be a big champion, to make big fights like Sugar Ray Leonard, Floyd Mayweather and Oscar De La Hoya. I love America; it’s a great country. “My goal is to make big fights in Las Vegas and Madison Square Garden in New York. I will do everything to accomplish that goal.” Obviously, he's won the Germans over. Why not the Americans? Michael Rosenthal can be reached at RingTVeditor@yahoo.com |
