00:00 Well, Arnold, we're in for a treat in this fight

00:06 because both fighters got excellent records,

00:11 lots of KOs.

00:13 There are 35 KOs between the two of them.

00:19 Both of them very experienced,

00:21 and there's a WBA title on the line,

00:24 so I'm sure they both want to bring that home.

00:27 Tell you what, the previous fight left the bar

00:31 really, really high, so this guy--

00:35 these guys have to come ready to match

00:39 what we just saw a while ago between Asa Elvillar

00:43 and Gerardo Zapata.

00:44 We're ready to go, first round, live action, ESPN knockout

00:49 from the Coliseo de Combates in Panama City, Panama,

00:54 right next to the Roberto Durán Arena.

00:57 This is Dino Curtin next to Arnold González.

01:00 First round of a super middleweight title fight

01:05 for the gold title.

01:08 12 rounds of action.

01:10 We got Uel Hernández from Cuba wearing the black trunks

01:15 and the Cuban flag.

01:19 Juan Juárez from Buenos Aires, Argentina.

01:22 He's wearing blue and yellow.

01:27 Hernández with a big left hand to the side of Juárez

01:33 right in front of us here,

01:35 and the cameras of ESPN knockout.

01:40 - Yeah, both of them very experienced,

01:42 very, very experienced.

01:45 - Both of them on orthodox stance.

01:50 Good lead hand there from Juárez.

01:53 - Break, break!

01:57 - Juárez, the long right hand to the side, the body.

02:02 Contrary to the previous fight,

02:03 these two guys are focusing on the body shots

02:06 earlier in the round.

02:09 - That's always a good sign when a fighter

02:11 starts investing downstairs first.

02:14 - Both of them look very economical

02:16 in the punches they're throwing,

02:18 not much movement from either side,

02:20 but throwing very hard early in the round.

02:24 Good two hands from Juárez,

02:30 two hands from Hernández back.

02:32 Juárez again with the left hand on the side,

02:35 partially blocked by Hernández.

02:39 - Hernández has a very tight guard on the inside.

02:41 I like what I'm seeing already.

02:43 He's actually doing a good job of boxing

02:46 at the distance as well.

02:48 Just like that, using his lead hand,

02:50 putting it out there.

02:52 - Hernández moving a little bit more now,

02:56 trying to see an opening in Juárez's guard.

03:00 Nothing going there.

03:03 40 seconds to go in the first round.

03:07 Gold Super Middleweight title fight.

03:10 12 rounds, this is the first one.

03:15 - This round went kind of backwards, you know.

03:18 Usually you start slow, studying your opponent.

03:22 This guy, they started throwing,

03:24 but now they're studying their opponent.

03:26 - Right, right.

03:28 - First round is pretty soon.

03:33 10 seconds to go.

03:35 Missing there long Juárez.

03:42 Hernández not throwing too many punches,

03:44 just faking.

03:46 And... - Nice feed-out round.

03:48 Nice feed-out round towards the end, yeah.

03:51 - Okay, this round,

03:55 again, they started action

03:57 in the earlier part of the round,

03:59 and they were studying each other.

04:01 - The second half, yeah.

04:03 They went backwards. - Yep.

04:06 Not too many times you see a round like this,

04:09 which makes it difficult to score.

04:12 - More homework for Arno.

04:15 - I think it was a Hernández round.

04:17 He did it.

04:19 There was really no threat from his opponent,

04:21 so I have to give it to Hernández, yeah.

04:25 - Hernández gets the first round.

04:27 In Arno's opinion, there's a highlight, you know,

04:31 blocked, both shots, again, blocked.

04:36 Juárez blocked Hernández and vice versa.

04:40 The body shots.

04:43 We're going to the second round.

04:45 12 rounds of actions, WBA gold,

04:47 super middleweight title fight.

04:51 Will Hernández in the black trunks,

04:54 Juan Juárez in the blue and yellow.

04:58 Hernández is the one that's bringing the fight.

05:01 Combination there, blocked by the very tight defense

05:05 from Juárez, as Arno mentioned in the first round.

05:09 Hernández much more active in this round,

05:14 although his shots are being blocked, though.

05:17 Juárez more cautious.

05:22 Nothing going there.

05:30 The crowd is kind of getting anxious a little bit.

05:33 - I like that he's going downstairs,

05:35 that he's really focusing on the body.

05:37 - Oh, yes. - He's touching upstairs

05:38 to get his guard to come up and then going downstairs.

05:42 Shows his level and his experience.

05:44 That's good.

05:45 And then maintains a really tight guard.

05:47 - Right, that's textbook boxing right there.

05:50 You know, if you know that you got a good crossover,

05:53 like you did right there.

05:54 - And he's punching in between as well.

05:55 When Suárez is punching,

05:58 Hernández is coming right in between

05:59 'cause he knows he's open.

06:00 That's it. - Yep.

06:03 - Good strategy there from Hernández so far.

06:06 Juárez still cautious.

06:11 He's, you know, not throwing combinations,

06:13 trying to still box from the outside.

06:16 But Hernández identifies this and just shortens the--

06:22 Oh!

06:24 That was a wicked left hand to the body.

06:27 - Look at the right side of his body.

06:29 It's completely red.

06:32 - He got him clean, and he's down for the count.

06:38 A surprisingly vicious left hand.

06:43 - Yeah, that was good. - To the side.

06:48 Got him, you know, with the guards up,

06:52 waited for that spot and got him.

06:54 - Very--did a very good job of touching upstairs.

06:57 Just touching, touching to get him to raise his guard

06:59 and dig into the body.

07:02 Very good boxing from Hernández.

07:04 - And you were just right on the money there, Arnold,

07:07 because you said, "I like what I'm seeing from Hernández."

07:11 His, you know, punching up, punching up in this round.

07:14 - Right. - And Juárez

07:16 just fell right into that trap. - Right into the trap, all right.

07:20 It was--the punches upstairs was more of a just distraction,

07:24 you know, a recoil to get him to just come downstairs.

07:29 - When something like this happens,

07:31 is this the result of, you know,

07:35 a planned strategy from the gym,

07:39 or is something that Hernández realized in the first round

07:42 and part of the second round,

07:43 and he just decided to go for that?

07:45 - It could be either/or.

07:46 Like, they might have studied him

07:48 and seen that he came to start up,

07:52 but at the same time, maybe not,

07:54 but Hernández's experience,

07:56 maybe he picked up on it from one,

07:58 and he's been very successful.

07:59 - The winner by the way of knockout,

08:01 [speaking Spanish]

08:04 at 1 minute and 48 seconds of round number two,

08:11 a new Super Middleweight Gold WBA champion

08:16 from Munich, Germany,

08:18 by the way of Havana, Cuba,
