The rematch between junior middleweight contenders Erislandy Lara and Vanes Martirosyan won't happen -- and for that, fight fans should be thankful. Martirosyan and promoter Top Rank have declined the rematch. In their first encounter on Nov. 10 in Las Vegas, fighting for the right to become the mandatory challenger for titleholder Canelo Alvarez, Lara and Martirosyan spent more time holding, grappling and banging heads than punching. The result was a ninth-round technical draw after the fight was halted and sent to the scorecards for a technical decision when Martirosyan suffered a bad cut over his left eye from an accidental head-butt and was unable to continue.
