O’Shaquie Foster (21-2, 12 KO) retained his world title tonight, seemingly rallying again from a gradual and livid assault from “Rocky” Hernandez (34-2, 31 KO) tonight on DAZN to power a 12 spherical stoppage. This combat began as you may anticipate, with Foster seeking to boxing his means across the ring whereas Hernandez got here ahead behind loads of punches.
Hernandez’s technique labored rather well as he largely overwhelmed Foster’s protection and closed the hole, made it tough, a lot to Foster’s chagrin. Foster fought nicely in spots, however was getting outworked in most rounds which appeared to have him down on the scorecards till we reached what can be an incredible Spherical 11.
The eleventh spherical might be the Spherical of the Yr frontrunner for me, with tons of backwards and forwards motion between the fights. Foster would visibly damage Hernandez and attempt to push the benefit to attain the stoppage proper there. Hernandez, who gave the impression to be out on his toes on the time, one way or the other, someway, managed to storm again with an assault of his personal whereas nonetheless badly compromised. Watching it dwell it felt like a Bradley vs Provodnikov second, and though Hernandez made it to the top of that spherical he had taken and delivered loads of punishment.
Nonetheless within the remaining spherical Foster was simply the brisker man, and dropped Hernandez twice earlier than unloading extra pictures that compelled the referee to step in to halt the combat on the 2:38 minute mark. Foster was down on two of the three official playing cards on the time of his stoppage, creating an enormous rally win for him.
