[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

On August 16th (live on ARD) at the Erfurt Exhibition Hall, Yoan Pablo Hernandez (28-1, 14 KO's) will defend his IBF cruiserweight crown against dangerous former champion Firat Arslan (34-7-2, 21 KO's). For Hernandez, this will be his first fight of 2014. He last fought on November 23, 2013 against Alexander Alekseev.

"I had a stomach virus which repeatedly returned, so I could not box. I am happy to fight again, I'm in top shape and my title will not be taken from me," Hernandez says triumphantly.

A world champion fighting Huck's leftovers instead of unifying with the man himself... Fucking Sauerland at it again.

What a joke fight arslan gettin another world title shot. Two in one year people dont get two in their career. Sauerlands are worse than al haymon they match their fights too easy. Abraham vs smith thats a joke fight. Hes british level wtf.

Lame fight however YPH is always a bit scary if you're a fan he has a habit of making things harder than they should be.

There is a lot of great matchups to make at cruiser but this isn't one of them

[Box-Office]

Arslan doesn't deserve title shots, title shots deserve Arslan.

I really like the Cruiserweight division but it is lacking in unification fights. YPH & Huck are both with Sauerland and won't fight each other but I'd like to see Huck vs. Lebedev and/or Hernandez vs. Wlodarczyk.
