Did you know UFC standout Yoel Romero has a half-brother who used to be one of the best boxing cruiserweights in the world? Well unfortunately Yoan Pablo Hernandez’s return to the ring went very poorly over the weekend.
Hernandez (29-2, 14 KOs) , competing for the first time since 2014 due to a series of injuries, moved up to heavyweight to take on veteran and former title challenger Kevin Johnson (35-17-1, 18 KOs) in Magdeberg, Germany. Johnson was on a five-fight losing streak and at this stage of his career he’s usually just a punching bag for prospects and historically he has been hard to actually knockout.
