This content is protected 10 year anniversary in what was one of the more fun fights in the twilight period of the original ESPN. Neither Nugaev or Hernandez would go on to become world champs, but it was cool to see these type of fighters: journeymen, club fighters and lesser ones get a opportunity to fight on TV and get exposure, albeit not always positive. I feel like the biggest detriment in American boxing is that the promoters don't focus on helping the local scene, and just focus on making big stars and big events. Even though we all crave for the biggest possible fights, but in all honesty fights like these have their own charm, perhaps because they no longer exist in our current boxing climate (at least in the States. British boxing is still very well off when it comes to domestic clashes). This wasn't the only great fight Nugaev had in 2013. In April he fought Jonathan Maicelo, a then undefeated prospect and was also a great fight. Here is another fight you guys can check. This content is protected
