Kentikian Destroys Anchorena

(Susianna Kentikian, shown on left tagging Anchorena) 30.03.07 – By
Fritz Drexel: Earlier tonight, WBA female flyweight champion Susianna
Kentikian (16-0, 13 KO’s) stopped Maria Jose Nunez Anchorena (7-2, 6
KO’s) in the 3rd round of their scheduled 10-round bout at the Köln
Arena, in Germany. Kentikian, 19, originally from Yerevan, Armenia
and now living in Germany, making the first defense of her WBA
flyweight boxing title, was much too quick and powerful for her
overmatched opponent from Uraguay, controlling the bout all the way
through until the bitter end in the 3rd.

In the 1st round, both fighters started out slowly, with Nunez mostly
staying to the outside, harmlessly flicking wild jabs that missed the
mark badly. Kentikian, boxing out of a crouch, quickly closed the
distance, shooting out left-right combination thrown with mean
intentions. As the round neared the end, Kentikian landed two
consecutive left hooks to the head of Anchorena, 33, snapping her
back violently. The punches were beautifully thrown, looking like a
textbook example of how to throw a left hook. Superb! As Kentikian
walked back to her corner, she grinned impishly, looking like he had
just her a good joke.

Kentikian came out fast in the 2nd round, landing a quick flurry that
backed Anchorena up near her corner, where Kentikian then unleashed a
long right shot that exploded off Anchorena’s face, sending her down
to the canvas. She quickly got up, appearing more embarrassed than
actually hurt. Kentikian immediately followed up with a series of
left-right combinations, but Anchorena took the shots well, and
responded with a couple of shots of her own. None of the shots had
any effect on Kentikian, who continued her steady attack on
Anchorena. Near the end of the round, Kentikian landed another right
hand shot that shook Anchorena, causing her legs to buckle slightly.
However, she was able to make it out of the round without getting
blasted again by another right hand.

In the 3rd round, Kentikian, looking as if she wanted to end fight,
immediately pounced on Anchorena at the center of the ring, landing a
quick left-right combination, again, thrown with beautiful form. She
followed with a jab, and then another left-right combination, which
badly hurt Anchorena, sending her in retreat against the ropes.
Kentikian calmly followed her and landed a final four punch
combination that caused the referee to halt the bout one minute into
the 3rd round.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
