Vardan - TECHNICAL DRAW

The welterweight clash between Aaron Martinez and Vardan Gasparyan ended in a sudden instant.

A  nasty cut on Martinez brought an end to the scheduled eight round bout at only 2:06 of the first round, much to the chagrin of about 850 at the Quiet Cannon in Montebello, CA.

On paper, the bout was an evenly-matched fight between two boxer-punchers. It would also have been another strong war between an Armenian fighter in Gasparyan and a Mexican fighter in Martinez, which have been take place more frequently in recent years in Southern California.

Both fighters went at one another after the opening bell. Martinez took control of the first minute as he was able to counter Gasparyan's aggressive style. As the round progressed, Gasparyan was able to keep Martinez in front of him, landing to the body.

After the fight, both spoke and raised each other's hand and walked around the ring as a sign of respect in front of their fans.

Martinez, from East Los Angeles, CA by way of Mexico City, DF, Mexico, goes to 7-0-1, 2 KO's. Gasparyan, from Glendale, CA by way of Yerevan, Armenia, goes to 8-1-3, 4 KO's.
