It took rising, but unchallenged Armenian star Vanes Martirosyan just over a minute to put opponent Charlie Howe down and out inside the Mandalay Events Center in Las Vegas Saturday Night proving that it’s time for this fish to move to a bigger pond.

Martirosyan came out sharp, as usual and took command with on target punches. The former Olympian quickly found a range for his jab and followed them up with crisp right hands only a couple times before finding pay dirt. In only seconds Martirosyan tagged Howe with an overhand right that sent him crashing to the floor.

After beating the count, Howe continued the contest, but not for long, as Martirosyan found his mark quickly and finished the still recovering Ohio native at 1:20 of the opening round. It was referee Tony Gibson who stepped in and saved Howe (16-6-2, 6 KOs) who lasted ten rounds with John Duddy this past June.

Martirosyan quickly destroys Howe, stays unbeaten

Arce Halts Garcia, Peterson, Martirosyan Win in Vegas
Junior middleweight Vanes Martirosyan made a statement as he obliterated opponent Charlie Howe early in the first round. Martirosyan needed a spectacular showing like this as he’s largely been relegated to toiling in near obscurity in off-TV bouts on major pay-per-view events. Martirosyan, from Armenia but fighting out of Glendale, California, dropped Howe moments into the contest with a stiff overhand right. Howe, who previously lasted a full ten rounds with John Duddy, beat the count but “The Nightmare” had just begun for the Grelton, Ohio native.
Martirosyan, sensing an early kayo, swarmed his foe and pummeled him along the ropes. Dishing out more punishment than a sadist at a petting zoo, Martirosyan unloaded a barrage of punches until referee Toby Gibson had no choice but to stop the mugging. The official time of the technical knockout came at just 1:20 and Martirosyan bolstered his pro ledger to 22-0 with 14 KOs. For his efforts, Howe dipped to 16-6-2 (6). On a side note, it’s now time for Martirosyan’s handlers to consider stepping up the level of this talented boxer’s opposition.
