sorry, lost connection. Turner came back a bit in round 7, not much but enough to take the round. Hernandez dominated the 8th and final round. Turner standing toe to toe at fights end, but Hernandez constantly one step ahead, then and throughout.
My card: Hernandez 77-74Comment

Ruiz, Mollo and Hernandez Rack Up Wins
Mike Mollo and Art Binkowski promised a war befitting of the hype surrounding their Windy City heavyweight rivalry. Mollo more than made good on that guarantee, easily taking the first round before tearing through Binkowski in the second. A left hook put Binkowski on the deck early in the second, and he never recovered. Apparently, referee Gerald Scott needed a bigger hint, or perhaps a swift kick in the ass for allowing Mollo to unload on Binkowski along the ropes for what seemed like an eternity. Binkowski eventually slumped to the canvas, prompting Scott to finally intervene. Official time was 1:25 of the 2nd round. Mollo rolls to 19-1 (11KO) with the win, his fourth straight since suffering the lone defeat of his career a year ago. Binkowski falls to 16-2-3 (11KO), snapping a 3-fight unbeaten streak.
Matt Zegan is a crowd favorite in the Chicago area, but no longer even the lightweight gatekeeper he once was. If the lesson wasn’t learned in his painfully one-sided drubbing at the hands of Nate Campbell last year in Rosemont, it was painfully beaten into him tonight in Hoffman Estates by Damian Fuller, who never looked better in scoring a 2nd round stoppage. Fuller put Zegan down in the 1st, and unloaded in the 2nd, pummeling Zegan along the ropes before the referee finally intervened. Official time was 0:52 of the 2nd round. Fuller rolls to 30-4-1 (14KO), now unbeaten in his last ten (9-0-1, since his 2003 knockout loss to the late Diego “Chico” Corrales). Zegan drops his third straight, falling to 37-4-1 (21KO). Having suffered the first stoppage loss of his career after showing serious signs of decline in the past few years, Zegan should strongly consider calling it a career. [details]Comment
