LAS VEGAS (Май 21, 2016) – Determined Phoenix middleweight Andrew “Ураган” Ернандес shocked heavy favorite Ариф “The Pedator” Магомедов 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 Downtown Las Vegas Събития Center (DLVEC) outdoor venue.
The “Knockout Night at the D” серия, представен от на D Las Vegasand DLVEC, се насърчава от Roy Jones Jr. (RJJ) боксови Промоции. Tonight’s event was promoted in association with Main Events and Shamo Boxing Promotions.
Before a sold-out crowd, Ернандес (12-4-1, 4 Нокаута) pounded world-rated middleweight Magomedov (17-1, 10 Нокаута), winning a unanimous 10-round decision (100-89 два пъти, 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 и IBF #14) в 10тата.
“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. Бях много подготвени. I think I may have broken my ankle in the fourth round but I kept going. Исках да го довърша, 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 Клозет “The Phenom” Vera (14-0, 9 Нокаута), на Форт Уърт, and Phoenix’ Малко дете “Боксьор” Ruelas (10-2-1, 4 Нокаута) 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, до съдия Джей Нади 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, твърде. I broke him down and just kept throwing those lefts.”

In the TV opener, boxing prodigy Девин “Мечтата” Хани (6-0, 4 Нокаута) 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 Мейуедър, 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” Vargas (Fernandez), unloading 14 unanswered punches for a 4тата round technical knockout victory. Nady stopped the fight without counting when a badly hurt Vargas (4-1, 3 Нокаута) 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, Тони Лопес (11-1, 4 Нокаута) dropped previously unbeaten Jerren “Hardknocks” Cochran (11-1-1, 4 Нокаута) 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.”

В схватката за откриване на процедурата, Las Vegas favorite Jeremy “J-Flash” Nichols (4-0, 2 Нокаута) dominated Puerto Rican welterweight Юли “индианец” Santos (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.”
