“TOP RANK LIVE” SERIES DEBUTS
Las Vegas, NV– Vanes Martirosyan, 153 lbs, Glendale, CA. UD 10 Kassim Ouma, 150, Palm Beach Gardens, FL. Martirosyan (27-0, 17 KOs), the recipient of a cut under his left eye from an accidental clash of heads, seemed out of rhythm throughout with Ouma (26-2, 16 KOs). Ouma for his part was the aggressor before tiring around the 7th round. A second wind for Ouma helped him score a flash knockdown of Martirosyan in the ninth but the judges called it 97-93 twice and 97-92 for him, though a draw would have been more justified.
Jose Benavidez , 138.5, Phoenix, AZ. TKO 1 Steven Cox, 139, Independence, MO.
Benavidez Jr. (1-0, 1 KO) in his much anticipated pro debut didn’t disappoint as he dispatches a seemingly frightened Cox (1-1, 1 KO) in 81 seconds.
Diego Magdaleno, 130.5, Las Vegas, NV. UD 8 Gerardo Robles, 131.5, Kansas City, MO. Magdaleno (13-0, 3 KOs) outclasses Robles (9-9, 5 KOs) over eight entertaining but not spectacular rounds. Scores were 78-74 twice and 80-72.

ESPN 2 AIRS FIRST SHOW OF YEAR
Laredo, TX– Demetrius Andrade, 154, Providence, RI. KO 1 Bernardo Guareca, 154, El Paso, TX. Andrade (9-0, 7 KOs) stepped in the ring and a mere 78 seconds after the bell rang stopped the hapless Guareca (15-10-1, 3 KOs).
Juan Carlos Burgos, 125.25, Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico TKO 12 Juan Carlos Martinez, 129 ,San Luis Potosi, Mexico Burgos (24-0, 17 KOs) was methodical in stopping last minute sub Martinez (17-12-1, 7 KOs) at 1:07 of the 12th. Journeyman Martinez fought true to his classification, never really pressing the action and looking rather unimpressive.
