Genaro Hernandez 26-0 (19) California WBA
vs.
Azumah Nelson 34-2-1 (26) Ghana WBC
- Azumah Nelson entered the ring as a 2-1 betting favorite.
- The fight was close through 6 rounds, and this was reflected on the scorecard of Ringside Expert Jim Trunzo, with Nelson up by 1 point 58-57. Punches landed favored Hernandez 155 to 129. The faces of both were essentially the same as when the fight started.
- In round 7 the fighters accidentally clashed heads and the nose of Genaro Hernandez appeared to possibly be broken as blood came gushing out of it immediately.
- At 2:36 of round 8 Hernandez went down hard from a Nelson right hand-hook combo and although he struggled valiantly to rise, he stood when the referee said “10!” so it was ruled a knockout at 2:46.
