Star Boxing presents a six bout card loaded with action.

hard-hitting Gilberto Bolanos in an eight round fight. The bout
headlines a “Battle of the Rising Stars” card.
Hartyunyan, (11-1-3) from Glendale, CA by way of Yerevan, Armenia, is
undefeated in his last 12 fights. Hartyunyan has not lost a fight in
almost four years, when he lost by a four round majority decision to
Sergio Espinoza.
In his last fight, Hartyunyan defeated Romel Aguilar by an eight
round unanimous decision in June in Irvine, CA. Hartyunyan once wrote

Hartyunyan, who mostly fights at Super Bantamweight, makes for
exciting fights and always gives it his all in every fight.
Bolanos, (9-7-1, 9 KO’s) from Ciudad Obregon, Sonora, Mexico, is
coming off a majority draw against undefeated Rudy Dominguez last
month in Temecula, CA.
Bolanos has faced some of the talented prospects in the lower weight
classes. He hopes to upset the young Hartyunyan on Friday night.
In the co-feature, Tia Greenberg will face Ku’ulei Kupihea In a fur
round female Welterweight bout.

professional victory. Her only defeat was at the Quiet Cannon last

decision victory over Alejandro Nungaray last month in Pala, CA.
