Martirosyan Anxious for Bigger and Better Things

Writes ESPN.com boxing columnist Dan Rafael: “VANES MARTIROSYAN is 24 and ready to make his move.

“‘It’s my coming-out party and I can’t wait,’ said Martirosyan, a rising junior middleweight contender. ‘I have been waiting for this moment my whole life.’

“The moment he speaks of comes in New York on Saturday (HBO, 10:15 p.m. ET) when the 2004 U.S. Olympian from Glendale, Calif. — who was born in Armenia — makes his HBO debut against another rising young fighter, Queens’ Joe Greene at Yankee Stadium.”
