Yuberjen knockout

The silver medalist at the Rio de Janeiro Olympics knocked out Venezuelan Yeison Hernández in three rounds on Friday night in Barranquilla.

A hook to the liver defined the fight held at the Elías Chewgin Coliseum. Hernández went to the canvas and did not respond to referee Leonel Mercado’s count.

The public, which numbered approximately 2,000 people attended the stage in the midst of interest in the Olympic, noisily celebrated the anticipated finale.

Yuberjen’s start was cautious. And he gave rise to Hernández, with jabs, taking advantage of greater reach, to keep the score in the round.

In the second, a more offensive Yuberjen matched, thanks to higher offensive production, especially with curved shots.

Yuberjen was 1-0, with a knockout, while Hernández suffered the fourth loss of his 6-win career, 3 of them before the limit.
