HOLLYWOOD FIGHT NIGHT FULL FIGHT RESULTS AND PHOTOS By Ed de la Vega, DDS PhilBoxing.com Sat, 16 Mar 2013  Suhonisov vs Vargas. Florentine Gardens, Hollywood:- Bash Boxing and Art of Boxing Promotions held their first bash (pardon the pun) for 2013 Thursday evening at this punky entertainment center in the middle of Hollywood. The 8-fight card featured for the first time ever in their promotions two MMA fights that showcased the famous ?Big John? McCarthy as the referee. McCarthy was the first head referee for the UFC. Steve Bash and Kharen Harutyunyan featured the MMA fights as an attempt to measure the mixed martial arts interest of Hollywood fight fans.. Judging from the reaction of the fans, MMA will be a big part of the coming Hollywood Fight Nights. The fight card opened with a super bantamweight bout between Erik Ruiz of the Robert Garcia Gym in Oxnard, CA and Oscar Venegas. Ruiz is undefeated with a 7-0-0 record and Oscar Venegas was listed as 3-2-0, 2KO. It was predicted by the ringside pundits as a cakewalk for Ruiz but Venegas came ready to fight and gave Ruiz all he can take. The fight ended with a split decision which could have gone either way. Ruiz however was given the nod, 59-55,58-56 and 56-58. 
Martin vs Triantafillo. The second fight featured two heavyweights, Charles Martin (6-0-0, 6KO) of St Louis, MO and an upstart Phillip Triantafillo (2-2-0, 2KO) of Chesterton, Indiana. Martin kept his record clean with a TKO at 1:24 of round 2. The first MMA fight followed. It was between up and coming gladiators, welterweights Alex Suhonosov and Fernando Vargas.
