Ardreal Roy Holmes Jr. vs. Marlon Harrington & Ali Zebeirovic Izmailov vs. Britton Lamar Norwood RBR

Yep, but Holmes vs. Harrington was absolutely the main event. Had it gone more than a few rounds I'm not sure we'd be seeing this on the DAZN broadcast.

 

Cameran Pankey vs. Juan Salvador Hernández Martínez, 6 rounds @ super featherweight

 

Round 1

Hernández Martínez is bringing the heat in the first minute! Pankey driven into the ropes by heavy 1-2s and 1-2-3s. Hernández Martínez is walking Pankey down, apparently intent on maybe pulling out a KO1 here despite having recorded zero stoppages in his brief and mostly unsuccessful career. Hernández Martínez with jabs up top, getting Pankey to freeze and duck in place, whereupon Hernández Martínez hammers at him with looping head and body shots. Pankey with defensive flurries, looking very nervous. Hernández Martínez crowds him into a corner and eats a hook to land his own. Nice lead right on the body from Hernández Martínez as Pankey circles against the ropes.

10-9 Hernández Martínez

 

Imagine going 9-0 professionally and thinking everything was coming up roses only to get spanked by some plucky losing-record Mexican kid like this?

 

Hernández Martínez absolutely dogwalking Pankey. This is heavy, spiteful pressure. You would think Pankey had screwed his girlfriend or something.

Two zip, and neither round has been all that close. Another like that and Pankey will be fighting to preserve his zero with a draw.

 

Something about the nickname "The Problem" just somehow portents getting humbled by an underdog Latino pressure fighter in your first loss.

 

Hernández Martínez knocks Pankey down halfway into round three, whipping in hard thudding underhanded body shots with either hand! On the verge of an upset KO having come in on under 24 hours' notice!

YES, BOXING GODS! THESE PRECIOUS MOMENTS ARE TOO FEW - PLEASE GIVE US THIS ONE

 

10-8 Hernández Martínez

30-26 Hernández Martínez

Major props to Pankey for surviving that long rough stretch, though.

 

Pankey needs a KD just to get a draw now.

 

4th was a good turnaround. Hernández Martínez taking a breather, and Pankey starting to come on with ambush right hands springing in behind a show jab while circling in rhythm.

10-9 Pankey

39-36 Hernández Martínez
