First round produced fireworks with both guys landing some bombs and Freddy Hernadez on the floor from what looked like a punch, but referee Pat Russell called it a slip allowing the action to resume. Shorter southpaw Corley used his experience to outmaneuver young contender. Corley landed some very effective shots in the second that included wild left hands and short right hooks, but the most damage that Corley has cause came from a head butt right on the button. Corley's head caused y younger prospect a lot of discomfort, but besides his head Corley was landing some crisp right hooks and uppercuts. In the fourth Corley went down from what looked like a punch again, but referee called it a slip as well. By the fourth Hernandez started to land some powerful body shots. He continued the body work in the fifth that set up a straight right hand which wobbled the veteran, and then another jab and a straight right hand right down the middle dropped Corley hard at 1;48 of the fifth stanza.. Referee Pat Russell didn't even bother to count as Corley was listless on the canvas. It was a brutal and spectacular one punch knock out. The crowd applauded as Corley got up seemingly unharmed.
In the first bout televised by Sho Box The New Generation, undefeated Dominican lightweight Francisco Contreras (13-0,12KO'S) demolished his Mexican opponent , Juan Castaneda(16-3-1,12 KO'S) by 1:38 of the very first stanza. Off the ropes Contreras landed a right hand left hook and followed up with four more punches that dropped Castaneda, who tweaked his knee on the way down. Referee Jerry Cantu counted till ten and just like that the fight was over. Lanky Contreras looked very relaxed in the ring.
