Prepare for an electrifying bout on Saturday, February 1st, 2025, as Yoenli Hernandez takes on Angel Ruiz at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The fighters will face off over 10 rounds in the Middleweight division, with a weight limit of 160 pounds (11.4 stone or 72.6 kg).
Yoenli Hernandez enters the ring with an undefeated record of 6 wins, zero losses, and zero draws, all victories coming by way of knockout, giving him a remarkable 100% knockout rate. At 27 years old, Hernandez stands 4 inches taller than his opponent and fights out of the orthodox stance. Despite having less experience, with just 28 professional rounds under his belt compared to Ruiz’s 90, Hernandez’s powerful punches have quickly propelled him to the top ranks. He is currently ranked number 1 by the WBA and 7 by the WBC at middleweight.
Angel Ruiz, also 27 years old, brings a wealth of experience to the ring with a record of 18 wins, 3 losses, and 1 draw, with 13 of those wins by knockout. Ruiz fights from a southpaw stance, adding an intriguing stylistic clash to the matchup. He made his professional debut in 2015, giving him a significant edge in experience with 16 more fights and a total of 90 professional rounds.
The stats suggest that Hernandez holds a significant power advantage with his perfect knockout record, but Ruiz’s experience and ringcraft could pose a formidable challenge. Ruiz’s 72% knockout rate is impressive in its own right, but it will be tested against Hernandez’s devastating power.
Yoenli Hernandez – 1700
