IBF cruiserweight champion Yoan Pablo Hernandez has suffered an injury to his elbow and withdrew from the upcoming mandatory title defense against Ola Afolabi, scheduled for December 6 in Oldenburg, Germany. The card will still go forward with WBA light heavyweight champion Juergen Braehmer defending his title against Polish contender Pawel Glazewski. Sauerland Event is looking to push back Hernandez-Afolabi to the first quarter of 2015.

Yaaaaawwwwwwwnnnnn. So that'll be a 2nd year running that he only fights once. :durr1: I'm done with this guy. He looked great against Cunningham, but that was almost 3 years ago - against Arslan he fought like dogshit, and robbed him.

Robbed him? Every time the underdog does better than expected - but not enough to win - and doesn't get the decision, people call it a robbery. Hernandez clearly won a close fight.

I'm aware of that, and I agree in most cases. But upon first viewing (I guess I'd need to watch it again, although it was a terrible fight) I genuinely thought Arslan whooped his ass in the latter two thirds and did more than enough to get the win.

i was edging ofalabi in this, he could actualy outjab hernandez and out smother him aswell, although would he get a decision in germany, he'd have to win clearly.

Well I hope channel 5 will still be picking this one up.
