Magomedov Vs. Hernandez Scouting Report Predator Takes on Hurricane Magomedov vs. Hernandez Scouting Report Predator Takes on Hurricane Las Vegas, Nevada: This weekend’s “Knockout at the D” event at Downtown Las Vegas Events Center (DLVEC) will feature the exciting main event between undefeated Arif “The Predator” Magomedov 17-0, 10 KOs, and Andrew “Hurricane” Hernandez, 11-4-1, 3 KOs, in a ten- round battle for the vacant WBC United States (USNBC) Middleweight Title live on CBS Sports Network. Below is the scouting report for this bout: Category Arif “The Predator” Magomedov Andrew “Hurricane” Hernandez Age 23 30 Record 17-0-0 (10 KOs) 11-4-1 (3 KOs) Strength Arif possesses power in both hands and puts together vicious combinations. He fights hungry and applies pressure throughout the fight. Hernandez is a tough and fearless fighter who is also a fast starter in the ring. He has a slick right hand and is an adequate counter-puncher. Weakness The Predator has yet to face any top-level opposition, he must be careful not to overlook The Hurricane, who has faced better opposition thus far. Andrew lacks sufficient speed and power in his hands; he will have to utilize his movement and counter-punching skills effectively to keep Magomedov’s pressure style at will. Experience Arif may be at a slight disadvantage, he has not faced any top ranked opponents at this point in his young career. Hernandez will have the slight edge. He has fought better opposition and he has done so in multiple divisions; including wins against Jerry Odom and Jeff Page Jr. Power Arif throws powerful combinations and good body shots. He has a unique ability to physically break his opponents down throughout the fight. The Hurricane will be at a disadvantage here, he does not carry much pop in either hand. He has yet to record a stoppage win as a middleweight contender Speed He has solid speed that comes on display during his vicious combinations. He throws a left hook to the body that looks as if it were shot out of a canon. Andrew does not possess the most effective speed, however, what he lacks in speed he makes up for in timing. He has a right hand that when timed correctly can be a game-changer in the bout. Endurance Arif has gone a full 12 rounds once back in 2014, and has been 10 rounds on three separate occasions. We are still uncertain on the strength of Andrew’s endurance; he has yet to go a full ten rounds. Accuracy The Predator has good accuracy; he likes to fight from a close distance, which makes it much easier to hit your target. Hernandez is also an accurate puncher, he throws meaningful shots and does not like to waste any punches. Defense Arif cuts off the ring well, making it uncomfortable and difficult for some of his opponents to get their punches off. Andrew moves around the ring well, he likes to stick and move rather than allow his opponents to use him as a punching bag. Chin Magomedov will have the edge here, he has been down earlier in his career but managed to recover and finish the fight. He has not been in any real danger since. The Hurricane’s chin is on the fence for now. He has been stopped twice in his career, but he has also survived bouts at Super Middleweight and Light Heavyweight with some big punchers. Style Arif has an aggressive in-your-face style; he likes to walk his opponents down unleashing vicious combinations along the way. Hernandez is a tough counter-puncher with more experience under his belt, he is an accurate puncher who utilizes a slick right hand when catching his opponents off guard. Intangibles The Predator has continuously strived to mix up his opposition and improve his own game. He took on a durable veteran in Darnell Boone whom he stopped early, and soon after that he out-boxed Derrick Webster, a slick technical fighter. He has completely flipped the switch here and will test his skillset against a tough and durable guy who has held his own against contenders in multiple divisions. We are not even half-way through 2016 and this will be Hernandez’s 3rd bout of the year thus far, with one of those bouts coming against Light Heavyweight prospect Ahmed Elbiali. He will now take his talents to the Middleweight division and is wasting little time in trying to make a name for himself. He will attempt to rattle the rankings by knocking off the current WBC #2 Middleweight contender, Arif Magomedov. Crowd Support Arif may have a solid crowd support; his aggressive and physical style is appealing to many boxing fans. Hernandez may be at a disadvantage here; he has not fought in Las Vegas since 2013, but a win over a top ranked Middleweight here will surely put him on notice with the fans in attendance and those tuning in as well. The Match-up Will Arif be able to handle Hernandez’ larger size? Will Hernandez be able to handle Arif’s come-forward style? Will Arif be able to handle Hernandez’ boxing ability and be able to cut off the ring? Will Hernandez be able to take Arif’s power? According to 2015 NABF Matchmaker of the Year, Jolene Mizzone, “Every young fighter should take a fight like this one when they are coming up and I give both guys credit for accepting the challenge. Hernandez is coming off a win and could have waited around for a different fight, but decided to test himself against the up-and-comer Magomedov. Arif, likewise, decided to challenge himself by choosing to fight the bigger guy who moves around the ring at time.” INFORMATION: Websites: www.dlvec.com, www.thed.com, www.royjonesjrboxing.com, www.knockoutnightboxing.com Twitter: @thedlasvegas, @dlvec, @DerekJStevens, @BoxingatheDLV, @RoyJonesJRFA Instagram: @dlvec, @thedlasvegas, @RoyJonesJRFA Facebook: www.Facebook.com/dlvec, www.Facebook.com/thedlasvegas Follow these fighters on Twitter: @johnverajr, @joey_ruelas, @jerrencochran, @jflashgang (Nichols), @Realdevinhaney @RandyMoreno About the D Las Vegas: the D Las Vegas delivers the fresh, energetic attitude and fun atmosphere synonymous with downtown Las Vegas.

  • Sellout Crowd Expected June 1 at Sands Casino Bethlehem Nbc Sports Network "Fight Night"
    SELLOUT CROWD EXPECTED JUNE 1 AT SANDS CASINO BETHLEHEM NBC SPORTS NETWORK "FIGHT NIGHT" Bethlehem, PA-It's the hottest ticket in town! With a start-studded lineup scheduled for June, the Event Center at the Sands Casino Resort Bethlehem looks like the place to be in the Lehigh Valley. But the one evening the local sports fans are talking about is Friday, June 1, when the NBC Sports Network Fight Night cameras invade the 1,832-seat Event Center for an evening of world-class professional boxing. The double-header main event features Gabriel Rosado, of Philadelphia, PA, vs. Sechew Powell, of Brooklyn, in a 12-round contest for the vacant WBO Inter- Continental junior middleweight title, and Ronald Cruz, of Bethlehem, PA, vs. Prenice Brewer, of Cleveland, OH, for the vacant WBC Continental Americas welterweight crown. Cruz The ticket demand has been so overwhelming that the Event Center this week added additional seats to accommodate those fans who still have not been able to purchase tickets to the first boxing card in the new building, which opened May 16 with Incubus and followed with the Beach Boys, Glen Frey and Alan Jackson to strong sales, but nothing like the demand for tickets for June 1 "This is what boxing should be about," said J Russell Peltz, whose company, Peltz Boxing Promotions, Inc., is staging the seven-bout card with Main Events, of Totowa, NJ. "We may be next to a casino, but we are in a brand new state-of-the-art arena where fans buy tickets. It's a beautiful building with seven luxury suite boxes and there's not a bad seat in the house.

  • All Eyes on Ward
    All Eyes on Ward Thus far, the Super Six World Boxing Classic has lived up to both its hype and intentions. Every match-up has produced a solid, if not exciting, fight. Outside of a draw, just about every possible outcome of a professional bout has occurred once. Some controversy, some thrills and some upsets. Other than Arthur Abraham, who scored the only knockout in the tournament to this point, every fighter involved is still at risk of being eliminated after Group Stage 3. The idealistic concept has turned into a reality. However, surely the main purpose when this whole thing began was to create one, if not more than one, boxing megastar. If that goal does come to fruition, the Super Six could truly be deemed a success. After only five fights, if you were to pick one fighter that could turn that objective into reality, that one fighter would be Andre Ward, the pride of Oakland, California, who takes on Allan Green tonight on Showtime. This writer came to choose Ward as the potential “breakout star” of the tournament for many reasons, some obvious and some not. Let us start with the obvious. Andre Ward (21-0, 13 KOs) is the sole remaining undefeated fighter left in the Super Six. While often times too much weight is placed on that “O,” it does seem to mean a lot to the casual fan and the casual fan is the one a breakthrough star needs to attract. The diehard fans can decipher an undefeated record that is built up and one that has been earned.

  • US Surveillance Dragnet Exposed
    SUBSCRIPTION SATURDAY, JUNE 8, 2013 RAJAB 29, 1434 AH No: 15833 Turkey PM hits back at protest criticism7 US surveillance dragnet exposed Max 43º 150 Fils Big Brother: Internet mining adds to phone-tap row Min 25º WASHINGTON: The emerging scope of a huge US dragnet of Internet and phone data, exposed by leaks and reports, put the White House on the defensive yesterday and sparked a backlash from an angry top spy chief. New revelations that the anti-terror agents from the FBI and National Security Agency (NSA) were tapping servers of nine Internet giants - including Apple, Facebook, Microsoft, YouTube and Google - set Washington abuzz. The reports deepened controversy over the post-Sept 11 surveillance infrastructure set up by US intel- ligence agencies, after leaks detailed a wide ranging sweep of phone records, also by the NSA. President Barack Obama yesterday staunchly defended the surveillance programs, insisting that they were conducted with broad safeguards to protect against abuse. “Nobody is listening to your telephone calls. That’s not what this program is about,” Obama told reporters on a visit to California’s Silicon Valley. He insisted that the surveillance programs struck the right balance between keeping Americans safe from terrorist attack and protecting their privacy. Obama was in California to meet Chinese President Xi Jinping later yesterday, but he and aides will likely face sharp questions over the affair. The Washington Post, citing a career intelligence officer, reported late Thursday that the NSA had direct access to Internet firm servers, to track an individual’s web presence via audio, video, photographs and emails.
