LAS VEGAS (五月 21, 2016) – Determined Phoenix middleweight 安德魯 “颶風” 埃爾南德斯 shocked heavy favorite 阿里夫 “The Pedator” 穆罕默多夫 in tonight’s main event on the “Knockout Night at the D” 卡, which aired live on CBS體育網 from under the neon lights at the 拉斯韋加斯市中心活動中心 (DLVEC) outdoor venue.

該 “Knockout Night at the D” 系列, presented by 對D拉斯維加斯and DLVEC, 被提拔 羅伊·瓊斯JR. (RJJ) Boxing Promotions. Tonight’s event was promoted in association with Main Events and Shamo Boxing Promotions.

Before a sold-out crowd, 埃爾南德斯 (12-4-1, 4 科斯) pounded world-rated middleweight Magomedov (17-1, 10 科斯), winning a unanimous 10-round decision (100-89 兩次, 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 和IBF #14) 在 10^日.

“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. 我很準備. 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 約翰· “飛鴻（Phenom）” 維拉 (14-0, 9 科斯), of Fort Worth, and Phoenix’ 喬伊 “義和團” Ruelas (10-2-1, 4 科斯) 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, 太. I broke him down and just kept throwing those lefts.”

In the TV opener, boxing prodigy 德文 - “夢想” 哈尼 (6-0, 4 科斯) made history as the 17-year-old – a junior in high school – became the youngest American professional boxer to fight on national television. 該 梅威瑟, 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” 巴爾加斯 (Fernandez), unloading 14 unanswered punches for a 4^日 round technical knockout victory. Nady stopped the fight without counting when a badly hurt Vargas (4-1, 3 科斯) 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.”
