You?ve got to give it undefeated junior middleweight contender Vanes Martirosyan; the guy certainly knows how to keep his name in the headlines. Currently the Armenian-born, Glendale resident is caught up in a war of words with bruising Polish fighter Pawel Wolak, as the two men have been said to be on course for a December 3rd showdown in New York underneath the Miguel Cotto-Antonio Margarito rematch at the famed Madison Square Garden.
When the fight was first said to be made, I reached out to Martirosyan who told me unabashedly that Wolak would be ?destroyed? if he came at him with his typical brawling style. The next morning Wolak reached out and returned fire, pointing to Martirosyan?s recent fight against Saul Roman this past June, a bout in which he was cut early and dropped in the first round before recovering to carve out a 7th round TKO.
?You are only as good as your last fight,? Wolak pointed out. ?So if Roman could put him down in the first round in his last fight, what does that tell you? My power and output is like five times that of Roman and he would have been counting stars and he would have been finished.?
