Chaos At The Casino 2 will be coming your way on December 22, 2012 from the Hollywood Park Casino with top notch professional Boxing, MMA and Muay Thai action.  We will also have a very special guest Ronda Rousey in attendance.  Do not miss this event.

HyeFighter Art “Lionheart” Hovhannisyan added to his undefeated record by earning a split decision win over veteran and crafty Miguel Acosta on Friday night July 20th at Chumash Casino in Santa Ynez California. Art improves to 15-0-2 (8KO’s).

The first round started out slow for both of the fighters as they maneuvered to feel each other out. However, with about 8 seconds left in the first, Art landed a devastating right to Acosta’s head that dropped Acosta and the end bell of round 1 was the only thing that save Acosta. However, in the fifth, Acosta scored a flash knockdown, when Art took a punch that got him off balance and he put his hand down on the canvas. The fight was very exciting and Art was definitely throwing the bigger and harder punches of the two. The fight was close, and the judges had it scored 95-93, 95-93 for Hovhannisyan, 96-92 Acosta.

Hovhannisyan had described this as the biggest test of his professional career, and he passed. We all hope this will be the fight that propels his career and gets him opportunities to fight for championships. As always, fellow HyeFighters were at Hovhannisyan’s side (fellow boxers, Gabriel Tplmadjyan and Azat Hovhanissyan) as well as Strikeforce women’s MMA Champion Ronda Rousey. Edmond Tarverdyan and George Bastrmajyan were cornering and coaching Art once again.

From Fightnews.com:

Facing his toughest opponent to date in his professional career, Art Hovhannisyan faced further adversity when he was knocked down halfway through his scheduled 10 round bout. Hovhannisyan shook off the knockdown, finished strong in the final rounds to win a close 10 round split decision victory over former world title holder Miguel Acosta at the Chumash Casino Resort in Santa Ynez, CA.

At the end of the first round, Hovhannisyan scored a knockdown with a lead, overhand right hand to the head of Acosta. Hovhannisyan was not able to follow up as the bell sounded to end the round.

Hovhannisyan was in control of the fight until Acosta dropped him with a counter right hand to the head. Hovhannisyan’s knee hit the canvas and referee Marcos Rosales correctly called it a knockdown.

As the bout progressed, Acosta began timing Hovhannisyan with right hands to the head. Acosta began to let his hands go, also throwing and landing with an occasional left hook.

However, Acosta began to slow down in the ninth round, allowing Hovhannisyan to press the action. Both fighters had their moments in a action-filled 10th round, trading combinations to the head and body.

One judge scored the bout 96-92 in favor of Acosta, while the other two judges scored the bout 95-93 in favor of Hovhannisyan. Fightnews.com scored the bout 96-92 in favor of Hovhannisyan.

“I wanted to end the fight with one punch,” said Hovhannisyan, who had over 200 amateur fights in his career. “I was not hurt by the knockdown. It was a flash knockdown. Every round i was getting stronger and stronger. I could have worked better, but i know i won the fight and i gave the fans a good performance.”

Acosta had an obviously different opinion of the fight.

I’m very sure I won this fight,” said Acosta, who had not fought since a 12 round unanimous decision loss to Richard Abril. “Although he caught me in the first round, I landed more punches throughout the fight. After he knocked me down, i got my confidence back little by little with each round. I knew my conditioning was good and it would carry me into the fight. I wished i only had more rounds to work with.”

Gary Shaw Productions in association with Lights out Promotions will bring another exciting night of professional boxing to the Chumash Resort Casino in Santa Ynez, Calif., on July 20, when undefeated Armenian Art Hovhannisyan (14-0-2, 8 KOs) and Venezuelan Miguel Acosta (29-5-2, 23 KOs) fight in the 10-round main event.

The lightweight bout will be televised live on ShoBox: The New Generation on Showtime (11 p.m. ET/PT, delayed on the West Coast), and tickets start at just $35.

Known for having power in both hands, Hovhannisyan has an undefeated record and a great chin as he’s never hit the canvas as a professional or amateur. In his last fight against former world champion Cristobal Cruz (39-13-3, 23 KOs), an accidental head butt stopped their bout after a cut over Cruz’s right eye was deemed too bad to continue from the referee. Hovhannisyan will look to rebound with a victory and move up the rankings.

“Acosta was on his way to beating Brandon Rios until he ran out of gas,” Hovhannisyan said. “Everyone knows he can fight at the championship level so when I beat him, I too will be considered viable at the championship level. A win against Acosta gets me closer to that world title shot.”

“If Hovhannisyan catches Acosta on that chin it’s good night,” promoter Gary Shaw said. “Acosta is very skilled and has a fun style the fans will enjoy. This is another great fight that Showtime is bringing to the fans. Hovhannisyan punches hard and the fans are going to see some fireworks.”

Acosta is a proven fighter that comes to fight every time he steps in the ring. Having victories against three previously undefeated fighters gives Acosta confidence in his ability to come out victorious.

“I’ve been in this situation before, fighting an undefeated fighter with all his fans attending,” Acosta said. “What they don’t realize is that I’m going to spoil the party. Hovhannisyan is a good fighter, but he’s not on that championship level. I’m motivated to end his unbeaten streak. The fans will see great action in this fight.”

Light middleweights headline the eight-round co-main event that feature’s Philadelphia’s unbeaten rising star, Julian “J-Rock” Williams (9-0-1, 4 KOs) against Nevada’s Said El Harrak (10-2, 5 KOs). Williams, known for his great boxing skills, wants to let the fans know he’s the real deal.

“I come to fight every time I step in the ring,” Williams said. “I’m going to take advantage of this wonderful opportunity fighting on ShoBox. I want to thank Gary Shaw for believing in me and I promise to put on a great show.”

The rest of the undercard: Talented undefeated prospect, Roman Morales (10-0, 6 KOs), of San Ardo, Calif., faces Alexis Santiago (11-2-1 5 KOs), of Phoenix, Ariz., in an eight-round super bantamweight bout; local fan favorite Ruffino Serrano (12-4) of nearby Santa Maria, Calif., will fight for the first-ever Central Coast Title against Seattle’s Rob Diezel (8-4, 3 KOs) in an eight-round featherweight contest; Chumash Resort Casino hometown hero, lightweight Francisco Santana (12-3-1, 6 KOs), of Santa Barbara, Calif., will face an opponent to be announced and undefeated lightweight Jonathan Maicelo (16-0, 9 KOs) and featherweight Roy Tapia (3-0-1, 2 KOs) are also slated to meet opponents to be announced.

Tickets priced $35, $45, $55, $70, and $85 are on sale and can be purchased at the Chumash Resort Casino Box office or online at www.startickets.com.

There are a number of intriguing fights on this card. Namely two fights, Edmond Tarverdyan and Georgi Karakhanyan’s fights.

Edmond Tarverdyan is an accomplished, experienced and Champion Muay Thai fighter, who has been training and coaching professional elite boxers and MMA fighters like Vanes Martirosyan, Gabriel Tolmajyan, UFC’s Manny Gamburyan, and the newly crowned Strikeforce Women’s MMA Champion Ronda “Rowdy” Rousey, who will most likely also be in attendance as special guests of this show. The other interesting fact is that Edmond also coaches and trains 2 other boxers who will also be fighting on this same card, Art Hovhannisyan and Azat Hovhanessyan. I think this may be a first in history, where a coach fights in one sport and then corners two other fighters in a different sport on the same card of an event. Think about it!!! Edmond will be making his MMA debut!!!
Georgi Karakhanyan, a newly crowned Thachi Placae Fights MMA Champion, will be making his professional boxing debut. Georgi is an exceptional athlete and has been training very hard in stand up fighting for his MMA fights and has always wanted to box. This will be his chance. The other 3 boxers on this card, Art Hovhannisyan, Vardan Gasparyan and Azat Hovhanessyan are exciting fighters that will bring some serious BANGING power. Their fights are NEVER boaring.

Roman Mitichyan and Sako Chivitchian were both members of UFC’s The Ultimate Fighter TV show (in different seasons) and are exciting fighters that are accomplished in MMA.

The Muay Thai fighters are young HyeFighters that have participated in this Muay Thai / Kickboxing sport regularly. You may not have heard of them before, but that doesn’t mean you will not hear of them in the future. These young warriors will be making a lot of noise in the combat sports world in the future.

Remember, keep the MAY 5th Date OPEN, and come out to Hollywood Park Casino and support your HyeFighters. 12 HyeFighters on ONE card. You can’t beat that!!!!! There will be a lot of surprises and guest appearances you will not want to miss!!!!
