00:00Instructions, 10 rounds of boxing scheduled.
00:05Okay, we went over the rules in the dressing room.
00:07All punches here will be good.
00:09All punches here will be good.
00:10Obey my commands.
00:11Give me a good, clean fight.
00:12Touch them up.
00:13Scoot back.
00:16Hernandez brings suffocating volume and heavy artillery while Davis, he offers sharp but
00:21lower volume precision.
00:22The X-Factor, whether Davis can weather the storm and counter effectively or Hernandez's
00:28power-punching blitz will break through his defenses.
00:32The bell and round number one.
00:37Yeah, if you're Hernandez, you want to start fast.
00:40You don't want to let Davis get comfortable.
00:42He's a fighter that, you know, if you let him get loose, get comfortable.
00:45He's a great counter-puncher.
00:46Immediately, Hernandez flashing the jab.
00:52Controlling the center of the ring.
00:54The intensity and the stare down at Friday's weigh-in was anything when they,
00:58didn't take their eyes off each other long after the pictures were done being taken.
01:02We know this will be a close, intense fight.
01:04But we talk about the low output at times of Davis, who's been in some very close fights.
01:09But something he certainly has to be mindful of.
01:10And Davis has also spent a long time on the ropes, including in that win over Elijah Garcia.
01:16And he does not want to be.
01:17Let him go.
01:17Let him go.
01:18There you go.
01:18Against a heavy hitter like Hernandez.
01:20Davis utilizing his mobility, but already being put on the ropes early by the Cuban.
01:27Davis is certainly a comfortable counter-puncher.
01:29But when you average 15 punches attempted less per round than the middleweight average,
01:34sometimes after you end up in those close fights, the draw with Anthony Morel.
01:37Stop!
01:37Stop!
01:38Right there.
01:38Right there.
01:38Right there.
01:39Keep it clean.
01:39Keep it clean.
01:40Watch all this.
01:40You know that you're a great counter-puncher, Davis, but you can't let the opponent get too many hands on you.
01:46Can't get him, let him get off first.
01:48You're Davis.
01:49You want to be smart.
01:50Set traps.
01:51A lot of faints.
01:54This is Hernandez's fifth schedule.
01:5610 rounders.
01:58I know.
01:58It's all knockdown.
02:00Davis on the canvas.
02:02No wrestling.
02:03We're not wrestling.
02:03The longest fight for Hernandez was against Bryce Henry, which ended at the 153 mark of round eight.
02:10He has one first-round knockout.
02:15Davis has three first-round KOs.
02:17Has never scored a KO past round four, and those KOs came against opposition.
02:23A lot less decorated than Hernandez, who's already landing a combination through the guard of Davis.
02:30Yeah, that was a beautiful set of right hand.
02:32And the uppercut for Hernandez is lethal.
02:35Right uppercut, right hook.
02:37Hernandez digs so deep and low to get that extra extension on that uppercut.
02:42And it's a punch he can throw from middle distance, too.
02:44A very dangerous knockout puncher when he heats up is Hernandez.
02:48Davis trying to utilize lateral movement.
02:52But Hernandez is bringing the heavy leather.
02:55Giving Davis a lot of different looks.
02:57Hernandez, he switched softball moments ago.
03:00Clipped him with the lead left hook to the jaw.
03:03Stiff jab from Hernandez.
03:05And this is the real estate Hernandez preferred.
03:08Center of the ring gives him a lot of extra room to set up some of these athletic explosive combination attempts to split the guard.
03:14Oh, you could read the body right now.
03:16Hernandez feeling really comfortable getting low, landing those body shots, letting his combinations fly.
03:22We talk about Davis being selective.
03:24He's only thrown nine punches at Landon.
03:27One, Hernandez 12 for 62 here in the opening three minutes.
03:32Why would you want to do something that you know darn well could kill you?
03:41Dale Earnhardt in car number two is a rookie to watch in this race.
03:45Dale Earnhardt is champion.
03:48I never want to do anything else.
03:51I admired how dedicated my dad was to racing.
03:54We do it because we don't know any better.
03:56This is what we do.
03:56It all comes down to this.
04:02It's jaw-dropping.
04:11Oh, I know.
04:12Record-breaking.
04:12MVP!
04:13Unstoppable action.
04:15The NWSL is changing the game.
04:17The San Diego Wave versus the Seattle Rain.
04:20Friday at 10 p.m. Eastern.
04:22Seconds out.
04:24Kyron Davis eating some big shots early.
04:26But remember, this is a guy who went six-plus rounds on short notice at 168 against none
04:32other than David Benavidez, Davis' only KO loss.
04:37And he was stopped on his feet with the corner and his coach, Stephen Bredman-Edwards, saying
04:41no more punishment.
04:42But he was in that fight.
04:43He showed a lot of heart.
04:44It really continued to build that reputation that he's a spoiler.
04:47He's a tough out.
04:48Like we established tonight, he's going to try to take the fight to and from Hernandez.
04:52But you can't win a fight if you don't throw punches.
04:54Exactly.
04:55And I think he's making a lot of those mistakes that we're talking about against Benavidez,
04:59which is letting the fighter get out first, fighting on your back foot, getting on the
05:03ropes.
05:03You can't do that.
05:04Maybe you can win a round if you're Willie Pepp, but...
05:07Without throwing a shot, but maybe that's just a legend, right?
05:12It could be a popper goal, but shout-out to the Connecticut legend just the same.
05:16Speaking of Connecticut legends, Brian Campbell.
05:18Round number two, and Davis now putting some pressure on his front foot.
05:24He's got Hernandez on the ropes.
05:26You can see Hernandez is setting a trap.
05:28It's telegraphed.
05:28He's ready to uncork that right hand.
05:31Exactly.
05:31That's intentionally Hernandez letting Davis get him first, coming forward, and waiting
05:36for him to make a mistake.
05:45We mentioned some of those fights where Davis made his name.
05:47Those were sometimes short, late-notice situations.
05:50At 168 pounds, David Benavidez, Anthony Durrell.
05:54When it comes to this weight class, 160, Davis is 13-1 in his career overall, so we know
05:59that this is his most effective weight.
06:01This is an opportunity tonight for him to continue to climb up those rankings into real title contention.
06:07Hernandez popping the jab through the guard of Davis.
06:11Downstairs and upstairs, and upstairs, Davis.
06:15Now with the jab of his own, but that stiff jab of Hernandez, and good defense by Hernandez as well.
06:23Really is all Yoenli Hernandez, fluid combinations.
06:27Yeah, David needs to let that hand go.
06:32That jab.
06:33There it is.
06:34Set up everything behind the jab.
06:34And that's his best punch for Davis is that right hand.
06:38Uses it as a lead, but Hernandez.
06:41Coming in with the combinations and dropping Kyron Davis here in the second round.
06:46Five, six, seven, seven.
06:48Davis has only been down once, and it was a loss at middleweight to Junior Castillo in April of 2016,
06:56already feeling the Cuban power early.
06:59We told you to watch that uppercut from Hernandez.
07:02Boy, did he deliver there as he continues to let his hands go.
07:05And now Hernandez putting pressure on Davis, stapling to the ropes, body, head.
07:13Using the jab, there's the uppercut.
07:15Davis shelling up, unable to fire back, trying to roll with these punches.
07:20Now Davis got too comfortable.
07:22He was taking the shots, good from Hernandez, and that punch he never saw was the one that hurt him.
07:27Hernandez has a jolting uppercut, and just missed with the last uppercut.
07:33Tremendous round for Hernandez.
07:35And here we're going to see the replay on how that knockdown happened.
08:02It was a barrage of punch as he opened up the guard.
08:05He landed the one, two.
08:07The jab that really dropped him at the end of the combination.
08:08It was a powerful jab.
08:09Yeah.
08:10Power jab.
08:12It was a couple of body shots.
08:14Hooks opened up the guard of Davis, and it was a powerful jab by Hernandez.
08:24Early adversity for Kyron Davis.
08:26Round number three.
08:41Yeah, he was taking those shots good.
08:43Davis, he got too comfortable.
08:44He pulled back, and that powerful jab from Hernandez was right on the button.
08:49Well, it was the four-punch competition that just really blinds you with those punches coming from different angles.
08:55Didn't catch him as flush as we thought with that uppercut, but when you follow up with clean, hard shots in the pocket like that, you can see why he's so dangerous.
09:02But remember, this is just the eighth pro fighter, Fernandez, so he got us excited in round two.
09:07Now he's got to continue to carry out the game plan.
09:10And he's doing just that behind a highly effective jab, splitting the guard, and there's a fighting presence to that jab.
09:17It's not a range finder.
09:19It is a weapon.
09:20And that's the best use of the jab.
09:23If I stand corrected here, Abner, when you can use it as a weapon, control distance, all that, but you want to hurt your opponent.
09:29Yeah, not a lot of fighters can do that, though.
09:31Some people just use the jab as a range finder as to set up a punch, but that jab itself for Hernandez as a weapon, definitely hard shot.
09:40Nice right hand, too.
09:42Hernandez continues to initiate the attack.
09:46There's a jab from Davis, Davis trying to find his rhythm, throws a combination, countered with a jab that again splits Davis' high guard.
09:57One thing I can say positive about Davis for sure is that he performs well under pressure.
10:01He's been in fights, as we mentioned, with established champions, even if he's undersized or late notice.
10:07And you can see he got knocked down in round two, still bringing the fight to Hernandez.
10:10It's Hernandez's punch selection that impresses me, the way he changes it up.
10:19Oh, and another power jab that sends Davis to the ropes.
10:23Set up once again beautifully by that uppercut.
10:26And I get it.
10:26Davis is more worried about getting hit, about him catching the big shot instead of letting his hands go.
10:33The uppercut on the inside by Hernandez, putting together combinations.
10:39You want to keep Hernandez busy by letting your punches go.
10:44There's a combination by Davis, but blocked by the guard of Hernandez.
10:49And those punches by Hernandez continue to get through.
10:52And that curling right hand behind the guard of Davis.
10:55Good uppercut, guys.
10:57Good uppercut.
10:58A thudding jab of Yoeneli Hernandez, dictating the terms of this fight and those crisp combinations.
11:13Davis lived on the ropes, as we established early in that win over Elijah Garcia, in a very close fight.
11:19Different kind of puncher here in Hernandez.
11:22Ten seconds.
11:23Another round dominated by the undefeated U.S.
11:32Taps!
11:42Yo, listen.
11:43Listen.
11:44I don't give a fuck about you losing.
11:45I don't give a fuck about you losing.
11:46I don't give a fuck about you losing.
11:47If you got to bite down and do what you got to do and do what you got to do,
11:50I want to see you step to him and make him understand that he's in a fight.
11:54Make him understand that he's going to have to give his life to beat you.
11:57What you have to do is you have to challenge every time he steps it up.
12:00I want to see you go to the, push him to the rope and dig in him the way you do motherfuckers in the gym.
12:05You hear me?
12:05I don't give a fuck about you losing.
12:08You understand?
12:08That don't mean nothing to me.
12:09But give it a little bit more.
12:10Give me a little bit more.
12:12All right?
12:12Take him in the deep waters.
12:13Make him run hard this round.
12:15Take him in the deep waters and see what he got.
12:17All right?
12:17You got strong legs.
12:18Push him back.
12:18Push him back and stay close the way you did with Marky and throw the nasty little shot.
12:23Come on, man.
12:24Give it a little bit more.
12:25Give me a little bit more than what you're giving me.
12:26Needless to say, a sense of urgency early in Davis' round, courtesy of trainer Stephen Breadman.
12:33Edwards wants to see a lot more out of his fighter.
12:38And Hernandez, guys, landed 23 of 77 in round three.
12:42Kyron Davis, he's 10 for 67 combined in three rounds.
12:51Let's see.
12:51Great advice there, Brian.
12:53Let's see how Davis responds to it.
12:55I like what he said.
12:55Don't worry about losing the fight, losing rounds.
12:57Gain that respect back right now.
12:59Let him know that he's in a fight and he hasn't thrown many punches.
13:03Davis, you got to keep Hernandez entertained, busy with the body volume.
13:07And yet it's Hernandez, again, stepping in, using the jab, putting together the combinations.
13:17Davis throwing sparsely and not with a lot of conviction.
13:22It needs another right hand upstairs.
13:24And the referee warning Hernandez about the shoulder strike.
13:28That's just not the conviction from Davis' punches that we see with all of Hernandez's shots.
13:37And I think some of that is the fact that this jab is not a regular jab.
13:40This is a power shot that breaks Davis' rhythm.
13:43I think it affects his confidence, too, because of how heavy that lands and how quickly Hernandez
13:48is able to pair uppercuts with that in combinations.
13:51Yeah, even moving backwards, the jab is effective for Hernandez.
13:53Double jab to the body by Hernandez, putting, again, the work to the body,
14:00not neglecting any part of Davis' anatomy.
14:04And here's a guy in just his eighth professional fight.
14:08The poise is remarkable.
14:10He had an excellent amateur career, but to see him this calm, this comfortable,
14:14after the way he executes those power shots, you have to take the entire terms away from him to beat him.
14:20Of course, obviously on paper, you know, you as a fighter,
14:23you worry a little bit, but once you go in there and you test yourself,
14:26you get a feel of the opponent you've got in front of you, it's all over.
14:29And I think that Hernandez, he already got a feel.
14:31He knows what he's got in front of him, and he feels so comfortable.
14:34We talk about Hernandez, his amateur background,
14:37that two-time gold medalist of the World Amateur Championships.
14:40He achieved those feats without having been a Cuban national champion.
14:4345 seconds left in the fourth.
14:49You've got to be mean, your kid. You've got to be mean.
14:51And again, no urgency.
14:52Edwards yelling at Davis, you've got to be mean.
14:55We're not seeing any aggression from Kyron Davis.
14:57And again, in large part due to the aggression of Hernandez.
15:01Another uppercut on the inside by Hernandez.
15:03What a beautiful four-punch combination that began with two shots to the body
15:07as Davis looks to answer back with the right hand.
15:12Yeah, Davis just doesn't want to open up,
15:14doesn't want to catch anything from Hernandez.
15:16What a jab.
15:17Piston-like jab.
15:2210 seconds.
15:27Davis misses with the right.
15:28Hernandez comes back with a right of his own.
15:32And a four.
15:37Co-feature, the return of undefeated two-division champion Jamal Charlo
15:41fighting for the first time officially at 168.
15:45And when he is at his best, Brian, this fighter can do it all.
15:50An absolutely versatile but also brutal finisher
15:53who can, like we said, take control.
15:57It's great to have him back, but he's got to prove it tonight.
15:59And earlier today, Ray Flores caught up with his opponent, Thomas LaMana.
16:02All right, by Thomas Cornflake LaMana, who has won nine in a row.
16:09He takes on Jamal Charlo.
16:11Thomas, this is your first fight here in Las Vegas.
16:13What does this moment mean to you?
16:15It means everything, man.
16:16It means everything.
16:16I have a long career, 14, going on 15 years, 40-plus fights,
16:21and my first time fighting in Vegas.
16:22I'm going to show up for sure.
16:24In order for you to defeat Jamal Charlo, you have to do what?
16:27Take him to dark places.
16:29Ladies and gentlemen, that was Thomas Cornflake LaMana.
16:31Back to you guys.
16:35Round at number five, and Davis coming out with the jab,
16:39trying to be more aggressive, but Hernandez keeping him at bay.
16:44Body shots, the uppercuts, the stiff jab,
16:47and it's Hernandez who's able to put together combinations at will
16:51and land highly effectively.
16:53Yeah, he's so effective in the inside, fighting from the outside.
16:56Hernandez, the jab, opening up the guard, closing his guard.
17:01I mean, he's just doing a lot and everything in there, Hernandez.
17:04Hernandez has landed 45 power shots compared to Davis' 13 total landed punches.
17:10It is a whitewash statistically, Brian.
17:13And it's not just that.
17:14He's operating in the pocket against Davis, yet the defense is responsible.
17:18On paper, it says Davis has a half-inch reach advantage.
17:21I don't see that in this fight, because Hernandez, whether it's from middle distance
17:24or whether it's walking him back to the ropes, can do whatever he wants, whenever he wants.
17:30Big combinations.
17:32Uppercut right hand.
17:34Davis needs to evacuate the ropes.
17:37Uppercut is getting pummeled by Hernandez, now turning and throwing a jab of his own,
17:43but unable to gain the respect of Hernandez in any way, shape, or form.
17:50I mean, the pressure that Hernandez is putting, not even smothering in his offense,
17:54clean punching from Hernandez.
17:55There's definitely going to come a time from Davis' corner that, you know,
17:59they're going to pull the plug and be like, you know what?
18:01You can't fight anymore, because he's not showing any signs of him getting back in the fight.
18:06Trying to get a little breathing, guys.
18:07Let's work, baby.
18:10Davis now has Hernandez on the ropes, but the high guard nullifying the effectiveness
18:16of the punches that Davis throws, and meanwhile, Hernandez, short combination.
18:20Lead right hand.
18:21There's the left.
18:21Another left counter.
18:23Left by Davis.
18:24Misses.
18:25Your head is coming down.
18:26I got you.
18:27Let's go.
18:29Bring your knees a little bit on your punches, guys.
18:31Get a little steam on it.
18:32Under a minute remaining here in the fifth, scheduled for 10 at 160 pounds.
18:41There was quite of an attempt right there by Davis to counter.
18:45Oh, straight right hand.
18:48Lands for Hernandez.
18:52Backing up Davis to the ropes, again,
18:54another punishing right hand.
18:56Hernandez going on the attack.
18:58A clubbing right hand by Hernandez.
19:00He's looking to end it right here.
19:02Davis trying to roll with the punches, but there's plenty of steam on those shots.
19:06What a heavy, accurate, poised puncher is Yoenly Hernandez.
19:12The patience.
19:14He's not trying to go for the kill.
19:15He's waiting for the moment.
19:16A statistical nightmare for Kyron Davis so far in this fight.
19:21Went down in round two courtesy of a power jab at the end of a Hernandez combination.
19:26The second knockdown of his career.
19:29And it's been all Yoenly Hernandez.
19:44Breathe, breathe.
19:44Breathe, come on.
19:48Hernandez trained by Dave Keefe and Mike Veloz.
19:50He's dead.
20:02He's gone.
20:02You got him.
20:03Listen.
20:08Don't over throw.
20:09Don't throw a lot of punches.
20:10Wait for the right moment.
20:14Don't waste your energy when you got him on the ropes.
20:16A lot of defense on the inside.
20:22You got him.
20:22You got him.
20:26Dark place, Kai.
20:27Let's get it.
20:28We're from here.
20:29We're from here.
20:35You begin the second half of this scheduled 10-round contest at middleweight.
20:42Yoenly Hernandez, 7-0, all seven wins.
20:46Via knockout against battle-tested veteran Kyron Davis, 19-3-1, coming in with a three-fight
20:55winning streak and coming off the biggest win of his career against the previously undefeated
21:02Elijah Garcia.
21:05Solid one-two by Hernandez.
21:09Swelling around the right eye of Davis.
21:12And now it's Hernandez utilizing some lateral movement.
21:16Comes from the Cuban school of boxing, but he's not here to dance.
21:20He's here to dance.
21:21I think he comes from that new school of Cuban boxing, as we established.
21:25But, hey, give Davis credit.
21:27Still looking to back up Hernandez to the ropes.
21:29Still looks game and ready to fight.
21:31I give him credit for surviving the end of that last round as the onslaught was on.
21:35But this is the toughness that Davis brings to the table.
21:38Big body shot by Hernandez.
21:40And it's a little bit of listening to the corner also from Hernandez.
21:44Leaning back, waiting a little bit, not wasting energy like they told him.
21:50Pressure from Davis, but it's Hernandez able to fire off the ropes.
21:55Davis, Davis' corner, trying to exhort their fighter, saying that Hernandez is getting tired.
22:08Don't know if that's the case.
22:09No, it's a trap.
22:11And Davis has been unable to make him pay for this time spent with his back to the ropes.
22:15Uppercut by Hernandez on the inside.
22:17Another uppercut.
22:19Clopping right hand.
22:20Yeah, and it's Davis right there.
22:26Doesn't want to let his hands come too much or open up
22:29because he knows that Hernandez is up to something.
22:31Final minute of the sixth.
22:35There's a pair of right hands from Davis.
22:38Most effective punch.
22:41Nice.
22:43Combination to the body and the left uppercut upstairs by Hernandez.
22:47Toe-to-toe, left hand to the body by Davis.
22:50Now, Davis puts together a combination.
22:53Doesn't back up Hernandez.
22:55Chopping right hand by Hernandez.
22:59It's like a hatchet, there.
23:00Speaking of chopping.
23:01And Davis, even when he throws, the punches are being blocked by the guard of Hernandez.
23:06No, he's just being bullied now by Hernandez.
23:08Hernandez pushing him back.
23:10His presence, his presence himself, just being there, Hernandez, is a lot for Davis.
23:18Stop, stop.
23:19Take a break, man.
23:21I'm sorry.
23:22Put my hand.
23:23Put my hand.
23:24Keep working out.
23:28It's good.
23:29It's good.
23:29It's good.
23:31It's good.
23:31It's good.
23:32I'm sorry.
23:33But a nice shot by Davis.
23:34With a sweeping right hand up top by Hernandez.
23:38Get me.
23:38Get me.
23:40Get me.
23:40Get me.
23:40Get me.
23:41Better round.
23:41Yo, that was a better round.
23:42That was a better round.
23:43Trust me when I tell you.
23:44everything gonna start coming together listen start jabbing into his body we
23:48probably won't need a knockout but that's okay because we came here for one
23:51anyway spin your knees a little bit more then you need a little bit more start
23:55jabbing into the body when he launched that right hand you got to drop your
23:58foot so you can give yourself room to roll back with your right hand you hear
24:02me you're not giving yourself enough room when you inside he can't get no
24:05extension on the right hand when you shoot them uppercuts catch the uppercut
24:08with the opposite hand and come with the short shot all right I want you to start
24:11initiating the exchanges and I need you to be a little meaner you're not being
24:15mean in this kid you're not your fucking friend you're fighting for your life
24:18right now get a little meaner right kid give me a little bit meaner yes and if
24:24you go to your left and smother it it won't happen you know a lot of ringside
24:29observers considered this a big step up for Hernandez and he's doing to Davis
24:33what we saw Hernandez do to Angel Ruiz back in February Ruiz ultimately couldn't
24:40withstand that type of pressure I gotta give Davis credit for listening to his
24:44corner staying in here he still has a second half of a fight to try to build
24:48some comeback momentum even if they believe they may need a knockout to get
24:51there yeah he said that and we came exactly for that we know we need a
24:55knockout and we are gonna look for it yeah they say it was a better round for
24:59Davis and still he was outlanded 25 to 8 including 18 to 3 in power shots
25:04according to CompuBox and the left uppercut now being launched by Hernandez
25:11Davis trying to establish rhythm with the jab
25:20there's the jab and he's listening listening a little bit more bending his
25:24knees getting a little bit low he's got a rip to the body though he's got to break
25:27down Hernandez a bit
25:32he's got to also stop letting Hernandez refill his gas tank by leaning against the
25:37ropes behind that high guard lead right left uppercut by Hernandez
25:44Davis on the front foot launches a right off the glove of Hernandez
25:50another one
25:56thus far in the fight Hernandez has landed 35 percent of his power punches compared to
26:03just 14 percent for Davis you can hear yeah Redman Edwards in the corner
26:08screaming for more body work from Davis yeah he's just standing in front of them
26:12he's giving her name is too many time too much time to think and to react if you're
26:17in there you gotta line him with shots yeah davis told us he's a chameleon as a fighter and he told
26:23us that he had to be in charge in this fight that he needed to dictate the terms that he was going
26:27to work at mid-range bring hernandez into deep water and while we're getting into deeper water
26:33it's it's davis who's uh well yeah davis is the one drowning
26:40another vicious right hand by hernandez that left bounced off the glove of davis
26:47it's a body work from hernandez and he does that to open up the guard
26:57every time he lands one or two body shots he goes straight for the uppercuts and they always land
27:03and you can hear the the thump of each one of these punches that lead right hand of the body
27:10there's a jab that splits the guard of hernandez but no follow-up with his most effective weapon
27:14in his right hand it's pot shotting by davis and now he backs up to the ropes
27:20and every punch that hernandez throws even the ones that are blocked or cut off the arms
27:25moves davis back the difference in the power you can see it with the clever footwork and movement here
27:32for hernandez
27:39he's done he's done really good he's done look at him he's he's dead
27:51when you're in the inside listen he's gonna be tired
27:54and we right here we're just gonna see the the combinations the the work the effective body and
28:09effective punches from hernandez the stiff jab the right hand i mean everything that he's doing in
28:18this fight is landing and in this precision the uppercut opening up the guard with that uppercut
28:26a moral victory for kyron davis just the second fighter to make it to round eight against yoenly
28:31hernandez bryce henry made it to uh a minute 53 of round eight let's see if davis can can survive that
28:40and hernandez is immediately on the attack again he has initiated the offense
28:50he's a great student he definitely listens to every instruction from his corner
28:54it's all pressure to rest yourself inside of uh on top of davis
29:01you can't land the punch that you don't throw what a quote from stephen brent man edwards amen
29:06you can hear the frustration in the coach's voice davis is close he's setting up some shots just not
29:12letting it go enough easier said than done for us though with the heavy counter shots that do come
29:17for hernandez and the body shots you've mentioned it earlier brian every punch that hernandez throws
29:24and lands reverberates throughout the confines of the michelow ultra arena here in las vegas
29:29thumping power davis
29:40on his front foot marching forward but hernandez jacks to the body right uppercut left uppercut
29:49and hernandez now just putting on his show yeah utilizing the footwork but
29:55it was davis who wanted to dictate the terms that's uh been all hernandez doing so in this fight
30:02a minute and a half left in the eighth davis putting pressure but no jab behind that pressure
30:08and that that is why hernandez is being able to land the combinations when he gets in the inside
30:15davis throwing a one two
30:17pushing hernandez back creating the space necessary davis busy but again brian those punches are being
30:26blocked by the hard guard of hernandez they're not scoring blows it's such responsible defense for a
30:31guy who is operating in the phone booth mostly getting off power shots but he's not leaving those
30:36extra opportunities he's making davis or work for it but it's hard to work for it when you're getting
30:42beaten down by power shots with your back to the ropes responsible defense a calling car to the
30:46cuban school and he is an expert defensively and he's uh a dynamo offensively and sometimes his
30:55offense is his defense he's just landing so many shots accurate shots from hernandez and while davis
31:02lasting longer than any other hernandez opponent he has had no success thus far in this fight
31:09none whatsoever he's a tricky fighter crafty we're talking about davis but in this fight hernandez
31:16was isn't was too much for him and hernandez will try to make him pay for being on the ropes
31:21right uppercut on the inside
31:39listen car you're buzzing with that little short hook on the inside you start looking funny
31:43you're buzzing with that but you're not being authoritative all right start sending them and
31:48you haven't thrown no body shots all right throw some huh okay i need you to throw a little bit
31:55more i need you to step toward this whole round and try to push him back and hold him to the corner all
31:59right listen to me that kid is tired and he wondering why you're not going nowhere you can salvage this moment
32:05by pushing this round you can't fucking land a punch you don't go and this is hernandez right here just
32:12being effective with davis on on the ropes just letting his hands go opening up the guard the inside
32:18punches the body shots and the uppercuts
32:26stephen breadman edwards trying to motivate kyron davis brian do you see hernandez tiring
32:31not enough not enough and it needs more pressure from davis which is what edwards is trying to get
32:37from him to try to expose that inexperience what does you only look like in the late rounds with a
32:43tough opponent who hasn't gone anywhere walking him down that's going to be up to davis to take that
32:48opportunity and try to create some type of moral victory to maybe an upset victory but it's going to
32:54start with punches first time that hernandez has seen round nine he's dancing he's punching and
33:02he's keeping davis at bay yeah the conditionings there he needed this type of name experience in
33:09davis and he's doing it all he's showing us everything hernandez especially in this nine
33:14ground i mean he's just resting there just waiting for the right moment another club in right hand by
33:19hernandez yeah i think the biggest realization for davis in here is that hernandez is so much better
33:27than he should be at this point in his career and you know some of that obviously you salute the cuban
33:32national team and that that amateur system but when you get multiple camps with the canelo alvarez when
33:37you are looking to david morrell sharpen iron with the best in the game at this age and you're a willing
33:43student than just having the power and athleticism to go with that feels almost unfair a full package
33:49right and despite this just being his eighth fight he's already the number one contender for
33:54cuban compatriot erizlandi lara's title he would rather not face lara there's also the unified champion
34:01janebek alim kanuli and carlos adamas who are title holders at 160 as
34:07davis hernandez has davis on the ropes again davis eats the right there's a right hand through the guard
34:17by davis that lands a lot more places though by davis
34:24but it's more him reacting to the places that hernandez is throwing
34:29davis despite going down in round two a durable fighter
34:32lost on his feet as we mentioned against david benavidez when red man edwards threw in the towel
34:40and that was a fight that he took on short notice jumping up to 168 pounds here at middleweight
34:45where brian campbell said was his best weight he's in double tough here against yoen lee hernandez
34:54working the body trying to sap whatever strength remains for kyron davis
35:03middleweight a long time of glory division can certainly use fresh blood and exciting newcomers
35:08this is exactly what yoen lee hernandez is showing us he is
35:13yeah this is what you need i mean the q with excitement school of boxing and hernandez a pressure
35:18fighter aggressive fighter bali puncher he can box as well and right now just spreading every single shot
35:25he is throwing a lot more here in round nine but still landing only six
35:33just while hernandez landed 25
35:36all right listen you're not getting stopped go crazy this round you hear me go crazy this
35:47right you're not gonna get stopped go wherever you gotta go do not allow yourself to get stopped
35:51and keep fucking fighting for the last three minutes keep fighting for the last three minutes you never
35:56know what's gonna happen do not fucking give up do not stop trying you hear me do not stop trying
36:01to be near rapidly and hard and hard that's what you do the same thing you're doing keep walking
36:08on the first the first minute i want you to lose the ring and then you're gonna make him fall asleep
36:16fall asleep and then you pressure him really hard hard really good
36:25i'm gonna let you know when to pressure
36:3310th and final round kyron davis a hero to his community in wilmington delaware a hero
36:39to his two children premier and mila but according to stephen brettman edwards he has to go crazy in
36:46this round and of course the boy being knocked out but he has to go for the proverbial hail mary if
36:52he's to have any chance of winning this fight and immediately hernandez lights him up with a combination
37:01hey kurt again a great student they tell him to use the entire ring box for a bit
37:05and i the corner will let you know when the pressure
37:13and for hernandez who i'm sure would love to keep his knockout streak going all important experience
37:20being earned here against a a guy in kyron davis who's who's been around the block so much more
37:28important to get the rounds against a tough out like this and i think that's key davis got knocked
37:32down got back up got rocked kept coming forward still trying to make the fight down on the score
37:37cards that's exactly what hernandez needs and him not really caring about it when we asked him about
37:42the fighter wings if this knockout streak continues shows that maturity as he calls davis forward
37:49listen there's a place that you make this statement you get him knocked out and people go crazy
37:54when you get a performance like hernandez is doing tonight i mean he really up his upsides
37:59davis is trying to lure hernandez into a brawl here mo middleweight averages 53 punches thrown per round
38:07your only hernandez averaging 72 punches around deal with that 160 pound division wow he just went to the corner
38:17he's waiting for the signal
38:25and good poise here by yo edley he took part in a little give and take with davis but never got too
38:30reckless not going to risk it all for the pride here oh and there's hernandez saying stand right in front
38:35let's do this just as i say that he did he does the last half a while
38:46hernandez looking to close the show with 45 seconds left in the fight
38:52they did tell but we want you to close in the last minute this is the last minute
38:57last 30 seconds and he let his hands go hernandez look at that menacing stare from hernandez as he taunts davis
