Unbeaten junior middleweight contender Vanes Martirosyan was surgical in soundly outpointing Richard Gutierrez in their Fox Deportes-televised main event Saturday evening at the Winstar Casino in Thackerville, Oklahoma, BoxingScene.com reported.
Scores were 100-90 (twice) and 99-91.
With the win, Martirosyan advances to 31-0 (19KO). The 25-year old has also learned a valuable lesson on the business side, as he has openly promised to follow his handler’s lead in being smarter at the negotiating table in what he hopes will be a breakout campaign in 2012.
Valiant but outgunned in defeat, Gutierrez falls to 26-8-1 (16KO). Once a promising prospect, the 33-year old has won just twice in his past 10 contests, including four straight losses following tonight’s setback.
