By Jake Donovan - Adrian Hernandez prepares to enter the sixth fight of his second tour as junior flyweight champion – or as many bouts as his opponent, 20-year old Naoya Inoue has fought in his young pro career.
The reigning two-time titlist is 7-1 overall in championship bouts and generally regarded as the best 108 lb. fighter in the world at present moment heading into his next fight, which takes place April 6 in Tokyo, Japan.
So why the insistence this will be his last fight as reigning champion?

There also exists the memories of Hernandez’ last road trip, a 10th round knockout loss to Kompayak Porpramook to end his first title reign. It’s possible that a combination of both has industry experts believing the 29-year old will once again return home empty handed. [Click Here To Read More]

. I didn't know Hernandez was trained by Jeff Fenech. That makes the fight a little bit more intriguing since Fenech, who won a world title in his 7th fight, is training Hernandez to stop Inoue from winning a world title in his 6th fight.
