Demetrius Andrade vs. Vanes Martirosyan will be the opening contest on an HBO televised card this Saturday night, and the vacant WBO Junior Middleweight Championship will be on the line.
Andrade is a former Olympian who represented the United States at the 2008 Summer Games in Beijing. He turned pro shortly after and established himself as a pretty decent prospect with 19 straight wins to start his career. This is a big moment for him, not just because it's his first world title challenge, but because he'll also be facing his toughest opponent to date.
Martirosyan, like his opponent, is also a former Olympian, but he represented the United States four years earlier at the 2004 Summer Games in Athens. He is also undefeated and has a tricky style. But, also like his opponent, he's been managed carefully to this point in his career. He lacks a signature win, and he will be fighting for his first world title.
It'll be a crossroads fight for two young, undefeated contenders on Saturday night, and this is your complete preview and prediction for Andrade vs. Martirosyan!
