On January 10, Jadier Herrera stopped Ricardo Nunez in the eighth round, claiming the vacant World Boxing Council interim lightweight title on Saturday night at the Rudolf Weber-Arena in Oberhausen, Germany.
This matchup was the co-main event on the Agit Kabayel vs. Damian Knyba card and pitted Herrera, a 23-year-old unbeaten southpaw, against an experienced opponent known for his aggression and power. Nunez initiated pressure early, creating a challenging atmosphere in the opening rounds. Some ringside observers noted he scored a knockdown in the second round, which intensified a contest that was more evenly matched than initially anticipated.
As the fight progressed, Herrera started to seize control. His speed and selection of punches diminished Nunez’s advances, altering the fight’s rhythm. By the middle rounds, the momentum had clearly shifted in Herrera’s direction. The conclusion arrived in the eighth round, where Herrera landed a relentless flurry of punches that compelled the referee to intervene. During this stoppage, Herrera threw one final right hand that sent Nunez to the canvas, briefly adding to the chaos before the official end was announced.
The finish sparked some debate, but the outcome was clear. Herrera remains undefeated and walks away with interim title honors in the lightweight division. As the division remains active, with the full title potentially changing hands, his position becomes increasingly significant. While this performance wasn’t flawless, it was undoubtedly essential.
