Rivera vs Fernandez FULL FIGHT: July 3, 2021 | PBC on Showtime

(July 3, 2021) Unbeaten rising star Michel Rivera stuns lightweight contender Jon Fernández with an eighth-round KO victory during their 135-pound WBA title eliminator.
Rising lightweight contender Michel Rivera (21-0, 14 KOs) scored a highlight-reel knockout over Jon Fernandez (21-2, 18 KOs) in the eighth round of their WBA Lightweight Title Eliminator.
The 23-year-old was able to weather the storm brought by the Spaniard Fernandez and made it through the round despite the knockdown. After regaining his momentum in the seventh round, Rivera broke through with a decisive right hand that crumpled Fernandez early in the eighth, prompting referee Jack Reiss to wave off the bout 44 seconds in the frame. Rivera held an 87 to 76 advantage in punches landed, and connected on 37% of his power punches, compared to 27% from Fernandez.

Ali, Julian Jackson and a pinch of Tito Trinidad all in one face! No chance you can unsee it😂😂

Exactly what I said!! Lol

All I see is Tito in the face, Jackson with the hair, and Ali in the body 😭

That thumbnail was an intentional reference to Ali standing over Sonny Liston when he first won the heavyweight title.

ikr, it really looks like that

It was actually the second Liston fight. Ali didn’t drop Liston in the first fight. Liston quit on the stool going bro the 8th round I think

[@laflame1652]

@@rafaelgonzalez9977 Martins last fight was decent competition. The only thing I see Rivera having over Martin is stamina and reach. Martin has better footwork, power, has a good chin and shows he's not afraid to get in that pocket. Rivera is good but look how much he's getting hit in this fight. He can't fight like this against Martin, he'll get walked down eventually. He's gonna have to tighten up. Hes not just fighting anyone. Derrick James fighters ain't nun to play with.

[@mariagabriel9488]

That was a temple shot, it's unfortunate when a boxer is touched right on the botton, Rivera threw many more right hands that landed on the chin but the Spanish guy took it well. But if u get it on the temple area it fcuks u up.
