Super Welterweight Vladimir “24K” Hernandez (16-6, 7 KOs) hammered out a ten round unanimous decision over Raul “El Doma” Garcia (13-2-1, 11 KOs) on Wednesday night at the ProBox TV Events Center in Plant City, Florida. Scores were 94-93, 95-92, 96-91. Garcia dropped Hernandez in round three, but Hernandez later floored Garcia twice.
Hernandez-Garcia was moved to the main event after a scheduled super middleweight clash between Lester Martinez and Joeshon “Showtime” James was scrapped due to an illness suffered by Martinez.
A legit GREAT fight. Hernandez took some crazy punches and did what he always does. Another winner from ProBox.
Can’t beat watching these fights. Seemed like the whole card was very entertaining. Hernandez is fun to watch. Chris Colbert is the main event on the next one. He needs a win, big time.
I saw they have Chris Colbert coming next month (also saw, and I don’t know if it’s still on, Jojo Diaz – Nicholas Walter coming in October). Seems like they’re getting a lot of old PBC guys, Hurd, Rosario, Lipinets, Leo and now Colbert. Love it and, like you said, so many great FREE fights.
Can’t beat free and you definitely can’t beat all the wars that have been on that channel, Lucie!
Wow! That is a contender for fight of the year !! Hats off to both of those guys for the effort they put in to try to get the victory!
I saw nothing special about this fight, both guys were completely lacking in skill, they missed more than half of the punches. This was not boxing, this was fighting. You don’t need to train the art to compete in these type of events, you just need to be fit. This type of crap goes down well with Mexicans. Where you just stand there,punch and be punched, the stronger man with the best chin is always the Winner.
Welcome to boxing
The lack of decline of some fundamentals often leads to the most exciting fights. This is true of many sports. Welcome to the real world.
Okay, Mr. Technical pugilist. You probably couldn’t bust a grape. Last I checked, I ain’t Mexican, so it went down real well in my house. You keep watching Shakira and pitty patters like no money Mayweather.
great fight could be fight of the year pro box wins
What was Martinez’s illness I wonder? He was at the weigh in and all the prefight pressers. If it was a legit illness, good for him for having the balls to pull out. Too much is at stake for a fighter to enter the ring if they’re afflicted with something that could really jeopardize their performance. It sucks for the fans and promoter, but at the end of the day, it’s the fighter who has everything to lose. I’ve been curious about Martinez ever since he beat Ricardo Mayorga in his first fight. Haven’t heard hide nor hair about him since, even though he is now 18-0.
Barnburner
Maybe someone on here can tell me. Has the Jo JO Diaz vs Nicholas Walters fight been cancelled for Oct 9? I found it strange that last night Probox was advertising a Chris Colbert fight for that date? Boxrec says JO Jo has been suspended in Ca and it does not have him scheduled to fight yet I see it still on the boxingscene schedule? My guess is that it has been cancelled but I cannot find anything on it.
I’m wondering the same thing. On their last card they even did a feature on Diaz training while in rehab (which didn’t seem like a good idea, but so be it), so I’m wondering if it’s on that same card but if it were, you think they’d be making a bigger deal out of it – or it would just have its own separate card being two former world champions. From what I can see, it still looks like Diaz is training for it, so I guess we’ll find out soon enough.
Sometimes boxing shows do that. Kind of like when DAZN stopped talking about Beterviev vs Bivol and started promoting Eddie VS Frank with no explanation. I think it was a week or two before it came out that Beterbiev was injured. Hey things happen…I just wonder why things are kept secret when eventually it comes out. I like these types of matches like Diaz vs Walters so I am intersected to know what is going on. That said Probox is a great show..I really enjoy it.
Probox consistently has evenly matched fights that are great to watch… very unusual for boxing which is now mainly a sport of mismatches (looks at the betting odds each week!).
I have watched almost every show and have only walked away disappointed probably twice. The fights on the undercard are just as good as the main event. It’s like probox has these guys starving to fight.
