Freddie Roach: "Vanes Martirosyan Will KO Saul "Canelo" Alvarez in One Round"
Trainer Freddie Roach would like to see WBC junior middleweight silver titlist Vanes Martirosyan (30-0, 19 KOs) face WBC champion Saul “Canelo” Alvarez in his next fight. “Everybody is talking about how great he (Alvarez) is. I think Vanes would knock him out in one round. Vanes won the eliminator to face him. Lets see how good ‘Canelo’ really is,” Roach stated. Alvarez faces Ryan Rhodes on June 18th. If Alvarez gets past Rhodes, Martirosyan would love to face him in the fall. “I want Canelo next!,” demanded Martirosyan. “I did my part and won the eliminator for the right to face him. Hopefully he does the honorable thing and fights me next.”
