Tyner And Hernandez Clash For WBU Title In Detroit On 10th January PhilBoxing.com Sun, 05 Jan 2014 Reigning WBC United States (USNBC) Champion Lanardo Tyner is set to face Angel Hernandez for the vacant World Boxing Union (WBU) Welterweight World title, at the Masonic Temple in Detroit, Michigan this coming Friday. Tyner won the USNBC National title with a sensational first round stoppage of Charles Hatley in August 2012. The Houston, Texas based fighter then went on to successfully defended his crown in May last year, with another stoppage victory, this time with just seconds remaining of the final round against Tyrese Hendricks. Tyner comes into the fight with a wealth of Championship experience under his belt, having previously secured the USA Mid American Light Welterweight, USA Texas State and USBO Welterweight titles, as well as challenging for USBA, NABF and NABA titles on a number of occasions. With nineteen of his wins coming by way of stoppage, including four TKO victories in his last five outings, Tyner is without doubt the bookies favorite, however don?t go writing his opponent, Gary, Indiana?s Angel Hernandez, off just yet. Hernandez may be deemed to be the underdog. having had only two championship bouts during his twenty nine fight career, but like Tyner, Hernandez also has a fearsome knockout reputation, having stopped thirteen of his opponents inside the distance.
