In a bruising, bloody battle between two of South America’s top featherweights, Clive ‘The Punisher’ Atwell defeated a game Raphael ‘El Potro’ Hernandez to earn the vacant WBC CABOFE title in an exciting action-packed fight at the Princess Hotel.
Saturday night’s headline bout of the mega card dubbed ‘Fire Storm’ was full of fireworks as the undefeated Atwell finally found himself in a real fight, complete with a bloody face and an opponent who was never going to quit.
As usual, he found a way to win.
Atwell used his speed and accuracy to take a unanimous decision over his toughest opponent since he made his professional debut three years ago. However, it was not easy as the Venezuelan southpaw Hernandez, landed some hard punches and kept attacking all the way to the final bell.
“Hernandez is a hell of a fighter,” Atwell told the press in a post fight interview.
