The former champ went down and started shaking on the floor as the referee waved things off and called in the medical team. In a battle of undefeated super featherweights, Francisco Vargas (17-0-1, 13KOs) won a ten round unanimous decision over Brandon Bennett (16-1, 7KOs). The scores were 99-91, 99-90 and 98-92.

However, Charlo scored two knockdowns in round two, the first a but-for-the-ropes knockdown with a hook, the second with a shotgun jab in the middle of a combination. Hernandez arose but the fight was stopped. The jab was the dominant weapon again, for it make up 76.7% of Charlo's attempts (69 of 90) and 81.1% of his connects (30 of 37).

Antwone Smith calls himself "The Truth" and in terms of identifying where his opponents are in their careers he may indeed be that. Perform well against him and most of the time you will win. But if there are chinks in the armor, Smith is good enough to expose them and inflict boxing's scarlet letter -- "L." Smith has won two straight since a 3-3 slide and on Friday he will meet up-and-coming junior middleweight prospect Jermall Charlo, who is undefeated in 14 fights.

UIC Pavilion, Chicago, Illinois - Tough junior middleweight contender Carlos Molina (21-5-2, 6KOs) punished former unified welterweight champion Cory Spinks (39-7, 11KOs) over twelve rounds to win a unanimous decision. The scores were 119-106, 119-106 and 120-105. Molina used his physical strength, advantage in power and high activity to bully Spinks in almost every round. Spinks went down early in the eleventh and his corner almost threw in the towel. Another knockdown was scored in the twelfth, when Spinks was being battered and the referee ruled that he was being held up by the ropes. Spinks also lost a point for holding in the fourth.
