In a six-round middleweight contest, Baltimore, MD's Lorenzo "TRUCK" Simpson won by unanimous decision over Antonio Hernandez of Kansas City at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.


Simpson did a great job of using his jab and some good bodywork with the left hand. Simpson's jab setup some his left hooks that landed to the head of Hernandez in the middle of this scheduled six-round contest. In round four Simpson moved in closer to capitalize on the body shots that seemed to bother Hernandez in the early rounds. Simpson looked very relaxed going into the fifth-round as he showed a little more movement. Hernandez was very game while he exchanged shots with Simpson and even landed a few good shots of his own to win round five.. Both fighters came out slugging in the final round. This clearly looks like the type of fight Simpson needed to have at this point of his career. Hernandez stood in strong and took everything Simpson had to offer as the contest ended. All the judges scored the bout for Simpson, 59-55.

Lorenzo Simpson remains undefeated with a record of (7-0, 4 KO's) while Hernandez falls to (2-11-1).
