Martirosyan-Roman Update
Undefeated junior middleweight sensation Vanes `The Nightmare’
Martirosyan (29-0, 18 KOs) is just days away from facing Saul Roman
(34-8, 29 KOs) at the STAPLES Center in Los Angeles, California, in a
WBC elimination bout for the right to face Saul `Canelo’ Alvarez. The
fighter of Armenian descent calls nearby Glendale, CA, home and looks
forward to fighting in his backyard. It has been over two years since
Martirosyan last fought in California and over three years since he
last fought in Los Angeles in front of his hometown fans.
`This is a dream come true for me. I am very excited to fight in my
backyard and have all of my friends and family at my fight. This fight
will get me one step closer to a title shot,’ said Martirosyan.
The `Nightmare’ feeds off of the energy that his fans bring to the
arena. Team Martirosyan has made it easy for his fans to get tickets
to see the Pride of Glendale in action. Tickets have been available at
TICKETMASTER for weeks but now local fans can purchase fight tickets
at the MetroPCS store on the corner of Broadway & Chevy Chase (1144 E.
Broadway) in Glendale. Remaining tickets are priced at $50, $75, $100.

`I hope to see all of my fans from Glendale and the LA area at
STAPLES. I especially want to urge my Armenian brothers and sisters to
come out and support me,’ Martirosyan said with a smile. `Together we
all go to the top so please come out and support me. 2011 is my year
and we will be world champions together this year.’
