Boxing: Magomedov to Fight Hernandez for ‘Knockout Night at the D’

The D Las Vegas will stage its next installment of “Knockout Night at the D” on May 21 at Downtown Las Vegas Events Center. Headlining the marquee will be a 10-round middleweight affair between Arif Magomedov and Andrew Hernandez.

The main card will be televised live on CBS Sports Network beginning at 11 p.m. ET/8 p.m. PT.

Magomedov (17-0, 10 KOs) is rated in the top 15 of the four major sanctioning bodies and is coming off a seventh round TKO over Jonathan Tavira, which was preceded by an impressive 10-round unanimous decision over previously-unbeaten Derrick Webster last summer.

Hernandez (11-4-1, 3 KOs) has lost three of his last five, but in his most recent outing, he took out Dionisio Miranda in the seventh. He also scored a somewhat shocking 10th round stoppage of Jeff Page Jr. last November.

Also slated for the event will be an eight-round super middleweight battle between John Vera (12-0, 8 KOs) and Joey Ruelas (10-1-1, 4 KOs) in the co-feature. Devin Haney (5-0, 3 KOs), a seven-time amateur national champion, will open the televised portion of the card against a lightweight opponent to be determined.
