    15 rounds, who takes it?

    If you don't give a reason for your opinion, your opinion will only carry half a vote. :good

    Carlos Hernandez had a great straight right hand, and decent boxing ability, but not Billy Graham boxing ability. Graham has the whiskers to eat anything Hernandez may land and will generally outbox him, whether it be on the inside or the outside.

    Graham 11 rounds to 4.

    That said, Hernandez is a bit of an unsung fighter and deserves some credit. Let's see why he's in this tournament:

    He beat the likes of Alfredo Urbina, Teo Cruz, Len Matthews, and somewhat faded versions of Joe Brown, Kenny Lane and LC Morgan. He also had a controversial win against Eddie Perkins, and a controversial loss to Sandro Lopopolo.

    Agreed, Graham's jaw and boxing ability win it over Hernandez' frightening, but one-dimensional power over 15 rounds.

    Graham imo will box to a decision, but its tough. Hernandez keeps his opponnent on the ball and always thinking, but i see Graham as too crafty and clever in there ultimately.
