TABUGON LOSES BY 6TH ROUND TKO AGAINST JUAN HERNANDEZ By Ronnie Nathanielsz PhilBoxing.com Sun, 15 Nov 2015  Hernandez. Filipino Raymond Tabugon proved no match for the heavier and more experienced Mexican Juan Hernandez losing by a 6th round TKO in San Luis Potosi, Mexico on Sunday, Manila Time. Sanman Promotions adviser Chad Canares told the New Standard/boingmirror.com that Hernandez controlled the tempo of the fight from the opening bell and used the ring expertly to confuse Tubugon as he switched from orthodox to southpaw which the young Filipino couldn?t handle. Canares reported that experience ?played a big part as the seasoned Mexican appeared to be calm and composed while Tubogon stiff and lost and fell to every trap set by Hernandez throughout the bout? which was scheduled for ten rounds. It was Tubugon?s first fight in Mexico and resulted in a break in his six fight winning streak. Hernandez improved to 29-3 while Tubugon dropped to 17-4-1. In a post fight interview Hernandez said her wanted to face undefeated pound for pound king Roman Gonzalez of Nicaragua also mentioned a possible title shot against the longest reigning Filipino world champion, Donnie ?Ahas? Nietes of the famed ALA stable. There was some controversy at the official weigh-in when Canares claimed that while Tubugon came in at a mere 113.036 pounds which was well under the contracted weight of 115. Hernandez tipped the scales at 118.36 pounds and when he raised the issue with the local commission and the promoter claimed there was no violation and that it was okay to go over the stipulated weight limit because it was a non-title fight. Promoter Oswaldo Kuchle later claimed in a message to the New Standard/boxingmirror.com that Juan Hernandez weighed only 116.2 pounds which was allowable.
