Maicelo (21-1, 12 KOs) defeated Armenian Art Hovhannisyan (17-2-2,

Creek Casino Resort in Shelton, Wash. on Friday night.
Maicelo,30, and Hovhannisyan,32, went the distance in an exciting
action packed bout. Both fighters had their moments, but it was
Maicelo who took control of the fight from the start.
Maicelo used his superior boxing skills to outwork Hovahannisyan,

looked to take control, Maicelo would come back with some hard shots
to halt his momentum.
When it was all said and done, Maicelo won a split decision to capture
the WBC International Silver Title.
The judges scored the fight 100-90, 97-93 for Maicelo and 96-94 for
Hovhannisyan.
"I trained really hard for this fight and my conditioning made a
positive difference," said Maicelo. "I knew Hovhannisyan was going
to be tough and he brought the fight to me. My timing was on tonight
and I was landing some clean shots. I'm looking forward to what Gary
Shaw has planned for me in the future."
The bout was broadcast on ESPN2 as part of its "Friday Night Fights"
series, promoted by Gary Shaw productions.
