In a battle of unbeaten lightweights, Art Hovhannisyan (14-0-1, 8 KO’s) overwhelmed Archie Ray Marquez, dropping him a total of four times to earn a sixth round KO victory. Hovhannisyan dropped WBA #11 Marquez (11-1 1NC, 7 KO’s) once in the first, third, fifth, and finished matters with a devastating right-left combination to the head. Time of the stoppage was 1:03 in the 6th.

The fight between Art Hovhannisyan (14-0-1 8 KOs) and Archie Ray Marquez (12-1, 8 KOs) sparked the crowd to life with a bout filled with the brutal boxing action they all paid to see.

Hovhannisyan scored knockdowns in the first two rounds, taking the fight to Marquez from the moment the opening bell rung — much to the dismay of the pro-Marquez crowd.

Hovhannisyan recorded his second knockdown after he followed his left hand with a shove of a right hand.

In the third round both fighters traded blows with Marquez beginning to land some of his own which did not seem to bother Art at all.  The second round easily created the most crowd-pleasing action of the evening.

Still, Marquez easily took more shots, and retaliated with non threatening punches of his own and was completely taken out of his game.  I guess, he (Marquez) will need to rethink about making the statement that he thought Art was too slow.  On the contrary, Hovhannisyan was the quicker, and more importantly the more accurate puncher.  Art’s power shots caused damage and seemed to hurt Marquez at every pass.

Marquez went down again in the fourth round, and started to look more like a desperate fighter looking for that one punch knockout as he was too far behind on points.

Then Armenian Hovhannisyan smelled blood in the water, and after many in the room could feel it coming, Hovhannisyan finally put a ribbon on his masterful showing with a lightning bolt of a left hook.

Instantly Marquez dropped to the mat, and along with it, fell from the ranks of the unbeatens with his first professional loss coming at 1:06 of the sixth round.

Art “Lionheart” Hovhannisyan won and made a statement.  There is a reason he is unbeaten!!!

“I told everyone, in a couple of rounds, I can teach him how to box and then stop him,” said Hovhannesyan, who knocked down Vasquez four times in the bout. “And I did that.”

Edmond Tarverdyan, Gapo Tolmajyan & George Bastermajyan

Gabriel Tolmajyan gets his 8th victory in 9 professional bouts via quick and dramatic fashion by landing a devastating left to his opponent’s chin at the 2:18 mark of the very first round.

Tolmajyan cam out aggressively and followed the instructions from his corner to work the opponents body.  By the end of the first minute of the first round, Morales was already dropping his hands to protect his midsection which was taking a pounding.  From then, the fight was pretty much fundamental in that Tolmajyan faked to the body and landed a devastating blow to the head of Morales which floored him and rendered him unable to continue.  This was truly a clinic in speed and boxing that was put on by the Armenian boxer who fought in front of a couple of hundred of his fellow countrymen who made the 2 hour drive from Los Angeles to the Aqua Caliente Casino in Palm Springs.

The future has definitely gotten brighter for this southpaw prospect.
