Undefeated lightweight prospect Jesus “Pollo” Hernandez moved his unbeaten record to 8-0 (2) this past Friday night with a six round unanimous decision over Manuel Sarabia in the feature bout at the Quiet Cannon in Montebello, California. Scores were 60-54 from all three judges.
“I’m very happy with Jesus’ performance, he was in great shape and Sarabia provided an excellent test for him,” said manager Frank Espinoza.
“This was the first time he had gone six rounds and I liked what I saw throughout the fight. He was accurate with his punches and used his combinations very well.
“Jesus only had two fights last year, but we’re looking for him to get at least four more starts this year.”
