Hovhannesyan will take on Adrian Navarrette of Mexico in a six-round bout.
According to Hovhannesyan's camp, it could be the fighter's toughest test yet, as Navarette's a power-punching brawler with an 18-7-1 record, having won 14 fights by knockout. He won his previous bout, but has lost four of his last six.
Hovhannesyan's 9-0-1 with four wins by KO and has won seven in a row with his last two via knockout. He last fought on Sept. 24, winning via TKO against Baudel Cardenas.
A blog with the result of Art's fight will be up later tonight and a story will appear in Saturday's paper due to deadline.

2) Dietrich Riley, St. Francis High - Obviously, like his teammate Posthuma, Riley's performance came in a loss, but he scored touchdowns on both sides of the ball and picked off Notre Dame quarterback Ryan Kasdorf, the reigning Gatorade Player of the Year, on two straight drives. The first of his two interceptions ended with a 64-yard touchdown return as he totaled 111 yards of returns on the picks. He also ran for 25 yards and a touchdown in nine carries and hauled in seven grabs for 79 yards. To top that off, he added six tackles on defense, as well.
3) Kyle Cota, Crescenta Valley High - The senior quarterback didn't play close to an entire game in the Falcons' 41-12 Pacific League throttling of Hoover, but he did more than a full game's worth of damage. He tossed three touchdowns and ran one in. On the night, he completed seven of nine passes for 193 yards, throwing scores of 17, 61 and one yards. He also had a one-yard touchdown run.
Honorable Mention: I feel compelled to at least give Hoover High receiver Elvis Fuentes some mention, as he hauled in 10 catches for 100 yards and two touchdowns in the loss to Crescenta Valley.
