32-0 for silver champion
Vanes Martirosyan punished out-of-depth veteran Troy Lowry
on the undercard of the huge double-header featrunig Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. and
Nonito Donaire in world title fights at the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas.
The WBC silver light-middleweight champion, 25, was leagues
above the 41 year-old, who lacked the boxing skills to keep a fiery
Martirosyan off as he continually landed with clean head shots, putting Lowry
down in the first and third.
The referee eventually saved Lowry at the end of the third
round as Martirosyan warmed-up for his WBC title eliminator against the winner
of next month’s bout involving James Kirkland and Carlos Molina.
The matchmaking in this match-up was questionable as Lowry
was clearly inferior in every department to Martirosyan and ended up a bloody
mess after just under nine minutes in the ring with the Armenia-born American.
