Wynn Hotel and Casino, Las Vegas:- The much awaited Vanes Martirosyan-Erislandy Lara super welterweight eliminator ended in a very disappointing technical draw Saturday night.
Martirosyan suffered a deep two inch cut on his left eyebrow as a result of an accidental headbutt in round 9.
Martirosyan led in the early rounds but Lara was finally able to run his counter left hook at will making him catch up in the scoring. In fact, one of the judges even had him ahead.
The scores were 86-85 Martirosyan, 87-84 Lara and 86-86.
There were talks of a re-match and Martirosyan stated that as soon as the stitches come off, he will be ready for Lara again.
