Armenian professional boxer Zaven Galstyan delivered an impressive stoppage victory at the RCC Boxing event in Yekaterinburg, Russia. Competing in the welterweight division, Galstyan knocked down Russian opponent Vladimir Bystrov three times before the referee stopped the fight in the second round.
The scheduled six-round bout began at a fast pace. Bystrov attempted to take the initiative by pressing forward, but Galstyan quickly punished his opponent's overly aggressive approach. Just two minutes into the opening round, the Armenian boxer landed a precise two-punch combination that sent Bystrov to the canvas for the first knockdown.
Bystrov managed to get back to his feet and continue fighting, with both boxers subsequently engaging in exchanges at close and mid-range.
In the second round, Galstyan dropped his opponent twice more. First, Zaven caught the advancing Russian with a series of hooks. Then, during another exchange, he landed a powerful combination that sent Bystrov to the canvas for the third time, prompting the referee to stop the contest.
With this result, Galstyan secured the second victory of his professional boxing career, maintaining a perfect record of two wins in two fights (2-0).
Following the bout, the Armenian boxer emphasized his determination to continue entertaining fans with exciting performances and knockout victories.
"Many more people will hear my name," Galstyan declared after his victory at RCC Boxing.
