alekseevr0By Jim Dower: IBF cruiserweight champion Yoan Pablo Hernandez (28-1, 14 KO’s) successfully defended his title on Saturday night in beating #1 IBF Alexander Alekseev (24-3-1, 20 KO’s) by a 10th round knockout at the Stechert Arena in Bamberg, Germany.

Hernandez, 29, nailed Alekseev with a right hook to the head in the 10th round that put him down on his back. Referee Lindsey Page then immediately stepped in and immediately called a halt to the bout at 1:35 of the round due to Alekseev being too hurt to continue.

Hernandez also knocked Alekseev down in the 2nd and 5th rounds with left hands to the head.

Alekseev steps it up against Yoan Pablo Hernandez

alekseev33By Allan Fox: #1 IBF Alexander Alekseev (24-2-1, 20 KO’s) has a really tough task ahead of him on November 23rd in facing IBF cruiserweight champion Yoan Pablo Hernandez (27-1, 13 KO’s) at the Stechert Arena, Bamberg, Bayern, Germany. Alekseev, 32, has had problems each time he’s stepped it up in class in fights against Firat Arslan, Denis Lebedev, and Victor Emilio Ramirez.

The southpaw Alekseev has problems when facing guys with power, and he’s failed on two of the occasions he’s been in with a puncher. Alekseev probably should have been given a loss in his fight against Arslan last year in May instead of 12 round draw. Alekseev appeared to win only 2 of the rounds, but he was given a controversial draw out of that fight.
