Yoenli Hernandez didn’t waste anyone’s time at the Hard Rock Live, smashing late-sub Ramon Delacruz Sena inside a single round like it was a public execution. The undefeated middleweight from Miami-by-way-of-Camaguey (9-0, 8 KOs) showed up looking huge for 160, stalking the Argentinian journeyman before tearing into him with a left-right combo to the ribs that sounded like a car crash. Sena hit the deck, got up looking half-dead, and then made the smartest choice of his career — didn’t come out for round two.
That’s how it’s supposed to look when a ranked hitter fights a veteran survivor. No mercy, no sightseeing. Just damage.
“I feel very happy,” said Hernandez after the beatdown. “I trained hard for this, waited for the right moment — and I want Carlos Adames next.”
WBA #1, WBC #2, The Ring #4, WBO #5 — Hernandez has all the numbers that matter. Now he wants the man with the belt. And from the look in his eyes post-fight, Adames might want to start sleeping with one eye open.
Armando Martinez Rabi Keeps the Streak Alive – Just Without the Knockout
The co-main saw another Cuban technician Armando Martinez Rabi (17-0, 15 KOs) work his way to a unanimous decision over Willmank Canonico Brito (13-9-2, 11 KOs). The Mexican-based Venezuelan wasn’t here to roll over. He frustrated Rabi, landed some cheeky southpaw shots, and made him think for ten rounds — which is more than most can say.
Still, the stronger, cleaner work came from Rabi. He started slow, countering too much early, but turned the screw in round eight, pinning Brito and snapping his head back with bombs. Judges had it 100-90, 98-92, and 99-91. Fair. Not pretty, but real.
Sometimes you don’t get fireworks — sometimes you just bank rounds and remind the division you’re not human.
Trujillo The Cuban Assassin – Body Shots, Broken Will
Gustavo “The Cuban Assassin” Trujillo (9-0, 8 KOs) made sure everyone remembered why they call him that. He smashed Juan Camilo Novoa (35-14-1, 32 KOs) to bits to claim the WBO Latino Heavyweight Title.
Trujillo, built like a nightclub bouncer who lifts cars for fun, didn’t waste a second. Ripped the body early, folded Novoa with a liver shot twenty seconds into round three. Game over. No complaints. Just pain.
That’s now eight knockouts in nine fights for the Miami wrecking ball — and the way he moves, the heavyweight scene in Florida’s about to get violent.
Jardae Anderson Kills the Hype – Medina Flatlined
The shocker came from Jardae Anderson (10-1, 8 KOs) — the Iowan underdog who turned off the lights on local golden boy Lorenzo “Giant Killer” Medina (13-1, 11 KOs).
Medina came out wild, dropped Anderson early with a cuffing right, and started hunting the finish like he was owed it. Problem is, Anderson bit down and waited. In round two, with his back to the ropes, he uncorked a left hook from hell that caught Medina walking in. Down hard. Ref didn’t even bother with the full count. 33 seconds into the second, the kid everyone was hyping got humbled.
That’s boxing — one wrong move and the lights go out.
