Лас-Вегасе (Мая 21, 2016) – Determined Phoenix middleweight Эндру “Ураган” Эрнандэс shocked heavy favorite Арыф “The Pedator” Магамедаў in tonight’s main event on the “Knockout Night at the D” карта, which aired live on CBS Sports Network from under the neon lights at the Цэнтр Лас-Вегас Падзеі цэнтр (DLVEC) outdoor venue.

Before a sold-out crowd, Эрнандэс (12-4-1, 4 КО) pounded world-rated middleweight Magomedov (17-1, 10 КО), winning a unanimous 10-round decision (100-89 двойчы, 98-91) for the vacant USNBC middleweight title. Hernandez hurt Magomedov in the third and seventh rounds, finally dropping the tough Russian (WBA #2, WB) #3, WBA #5 and IBF #14) у 10й.
“This fight changes everything for me,” Hernandez proclaimed. “He’s very good and deserves all of the accolades he’s received but I now have my head on straight and I’m focused. My jab was very important tonight. He’s very strong but I wanted to fight him inside because I knew he couldn’t take it from me. Я быў вельмі падрыхтаваны. I think I may have broken my ankle in the fourth round but I kept going. I wanted to finish him, get the knockout, but he’s a very tough fighter. He has heart and showed why he has all of those accolades.”
Four weeks ago, Hernandez was preparing to fight as a cruiserweight. He lost 40 pounds to make weight for this middleweight fight in what turned out to be one of the biggest upsets of the year.

 Southpaw super welterweights Джон “The Phenom” Вера (14-0, 9 КО), of Fort Worth, and Phoenix’ Джо “Баксёр” Ruelas (10-2-1, 4 КО) went toe-to-toe from the opening bell and they never let up in the co-feature. Vera exploded in the round of this firestorm, battering the game Ruelas around, until referee Jay Nady halted the action in the sixth round. Vera remained undefeated and retained his NABA-USA title.
“I knew eventually he’d put his hands down and I’d catch him,” Vera explained. “I thank him for the opportunity to fight. He’s helluva fighter, I give him that, but I know I’m a warrior. I took some shots but gave ’em, занадта. I broke him down and just kept throwing those lefts.”

In the TV opener, boxing prodigy Devin “The Dream” Хэні (6-0, 4 КО) made history as the 17-year-old – a junior in high school – became the youngest American professional boxer to fight on national television. The Флойд Мэйвезер, Sr.-trained Haney, fighting out of Las Vegas in front of his rapidly growing fan-base, showcased his vast skills against previously undefeated Mexican invader Jairo “El Leon” Варгас (Fernandez), unloading 14 unanswered punches for a 4й round technical knockout victory. Nady stopped the fight without counting when a badly hurt Vargas (4-1, 3 КО) hit the deck hard.
“I happy that I put on a good performance for my fans,” Haney commented after the fight. “My team put together the strategy to use my jab and breakdown his body. I picked up my combinations did what I was told to do.”

In a battle of Texas junior welterweights, Tony Lopez (11-1, 4 КО) dropped previously unbeaten Jerren “Hardknocks” Cochran (11-1-1, 4 КО) twice with lefts in the opening round and finished him off in the second, knocking him out cold with a punishing right.
“Two mores seconds and I would have finished him off in the first,” Lopez remarked. “My corner told me that, after the lefts, come back with a right. They gave me the game plan and I executed.”

У першым баі, Las Vegas favorite Jeremy “J-Flash” Nichols (4-0, 2 КО) dominated Puerto Rican welterweight Ліпеня “El Indio” Сантас (2-3, 1 KO) on his way to a win by unanimous 4-round decision.
“I know I could have done a little better, throwing more combinations and jab,” Nichols said. “He came in trying but he couldn’t fight. I sent him back to Puerto Rico with a loss.”
