Yoan Pablo Hernandez takes on Wayne Braithwaite

[Mikkel_K]

I remember writing here about Cruiser prospect Yoan Pablo Hernandez a few times. To me, he seems like a very intruguing prospect, yet he rarely gets mentioned here, at least not as often as those other defected Cuban olympians. Perhaps it's just because people here generally doesn't follow boxing in Germany as much?

Anyway, Hernandez (14-0) will fight former champ Wayne Braithwaite on March 29. It's the main supporting bout of the Abraham-Ayala card - and to me a helluva lot more interesting than that headliner!

This is actually a continuation of Hernandez' streak with former Enzo Mac opponents - in his last outing he met Mohammed Azzaoiu (also Enzo's last oppponent) - and demolished him in 1 round. Before that he went the distance with Ismael Abdoul, as Enzo and Haye both have done before him as well.

Anyway, for a 23 year old Hernandez is coming on pretty strong. He could be a major player in the division soon, at least if he can beat Braithwaite. And I think he will do just that.

Cheers for the info, have some rep. You're right too, the main event is crap compared to this. I might just tune in now.

Out of top 3 Cuban prospects I would say he get's the least mentions...
Yuriorkis and Odlainer get the most talk...

This is a HUGE, I mean HUGE step up in class for Yoan. His people think he's ready. Enzo beat Wayne pretty convincingly so we'll see how Yoan fares....
