A perfect match-up for their points in their careers this is good news.

This is what we need more of.Green has seemed to slow,less visible lately.Remember he was talked about for a Martinez fight a while ago.Lean towards Martirosyan ,decent straight hitter and could keep it smart over distance.Needs to tighten up that uppercut though I think.Solid fight all around.

Greene's seemingly totally fallen off the radar lately but maybe that's not such a bad thing. Not a bad fight. Never been blown away by Greene but even less so with Vanes so I'll favor him here.

Joe Greene... Bloody hell. To be honest, that's a name that rings a bell.... Wasn't there a bit of a fuss about him, some time ago ???

So anyway, there's me thinking this is a guy who is at the bottom of a pit or at the end of his career but it turns out he's an undefeated 24 year old!

I'm really not that hardcore :rolleyes:

Not a bad undercard.
