Fighter Profiles and Recent Form

Yoenli Hernandez (“Yoyo El Diablo”) – Cuba

Record: 9-0-0 (8 KOs, 88.9% KO rate)

Age: 28

Height/Reach: 6’2″ / Not listed (tall for middleweight)

Stance: Orthodox

Recent Form: Win (2025 – multiple stoppages including regional title defenses) → Consistent early-to-mid round finishes against quality opposition. Hernandez has looked explosive in every pro outing since debuting in 2022, blending amateur pedigree with professional power.

Hernandez is a highly touted Cuban prospect quickly climbing the middleweight ranks. Signed by major management and already holding WBA Continental Latin America hardware, he’s viewed as a future world-title contender. His blend of size, athleticism, and finishing power has made him a “boogeyman” in the division at just 9-0.

Terrell Gausha – United States (Cleveland, OH)

Record: 24-5-1 (12 KOs, 50% KO rate)

Age: 38

Height/Reach: 5’10” / 73½”

Stance: Orthodox

Recent Form (last 5 bouts): Loss (Mar 22, 2025 – SD 10 vs. Elijah Garcia) → Loss (Jun 2024 – vs. Carlos Adames, WBC title fight) → Win (Sep 2023 – vs. KeAndrae Leatherwood) → Earlier mixed results including a 2021 title challenge loss. Gausha is coming off back-to-back defeats against top-10 middleweights.

Gausha is a battle-tested U.S. Olympian and former world-title challenger with solid experience against elite competition. At 38, he remains durable and crafty but has shown signs of decline against younger, faster punchers. This is a classic “veteran test” for a rising prospect.

Fight History & Matchup Breakdown

This 10-round middleweight clash pits an undefeated, power-punching Cuban prospect against a seasoned Olympian looking for one last run. Hernandez (only 75 pro rounds) has never been truly tested at this level, while Gausha (over 150 rounds) has shared the ring with the division’s best.

Key Advantages for Hernandez:

Massive youth edge (10 years younger) and physical size.

Elite power and finishing rate.

Momentum as a top-rated prospect with title talk already circulating.

Potential Edges for Gausha:

Vast experience and veteran savvy.

Length and jab that could frustrate early if Hernandez rushes.

Proven chin (though tested recently).

Expert and community consensus heavily favors Hernandez in what is seen as a step-up but winnable fight for the Cuban.

Injury Report

No injuries reported for either fighter. Both are confirmed healthy and cleared for the March 28 bout with no weigh-in or training-camp issues noted in official PBC updates or recent coverage.
