"Toro" is 25-3
      Rated in the top 15 by the major sanctioning bodies as well as a former NABF light middleweight champion, Angel Hernandez (25-3), is looking to re-establish himself as a top 154-pound contender. Tough and determined with an exciting style, he recently stepped up his class of opposition and scored two of his career-best wins and broke into the world ratings. He is, however, coming off a loss in his last fight, a rematch against J.C. Candelo, but is still moving forward. He is 11-2 in his last 13 fights and personally feels in his prime. TalkingBoxing.com's Julius Stecker caught up with Hernandez for a brief interview.
