Kentikian Stops Martin!

Women Boxing Association female flyweight boxing champion Susi Kentikian (18-0, 14 KOs) destroyed Shanee Martin (8-4, 4 KOs) in the 3rd round on Friday night at the Burg-Wächter-Castello in Dusseldorf, Germany. It was 19-year old Kentian’s 3rd successful title defense of her flyweight belt. The fight was terribly one-sided from the start, with Kentikian pounding Martin with head shots from the opening moments. In the 3rd round, Kentiakian landed an arcing right hand that exploded on impact with Martin’s face, sending her crashing to the canvas in a ball. She got up and appeared to be able to continue but due to the violent nature of the knockdown, the referee didn’t let her continue. The fight was officially stopped at 1:14 of the 3rd round.

Kentikian, originally from Yerevan, Armenia, and now living in Hamburg, Germany, was very busy in the first round as he attacked Martin like a little pit bull. Over and over, Kentikian would move inside and rip combinations and uppercuts to Martin’s head. By the end of the first round, Martin looked bad, her face red and her nose swelling up.

In the 3rd round, Kentikain upped her attack another gear, throwing harder shots and attacking for sustained amounts of time. She looked really confident and appeared to be enjoying herself as she smiled while attacking Martin. It was understandable her joy, because Martin wasn’t throwing any punches back at Kentikian was in a sense, nothing more than a large punching bag. As the round was nearing the end, Kentikian landed a beautiful right hand, her best punch of the fight, and it dropped Martin to the canvas. The referee them moved in and stopped the fight
