Fight Notes: 
Undefeated local rivals face off when Oscar De La Hoya defends his WBO Lightweight Championship against Genaro Hernandez. Over the course of six rounds, De La Hoya methodically breaks down Hernandez with power shots. After sustaining a bloodied nose in the sixth round, Hernandez decides he has had enough and surrenders to Referee Richard Steele between rounds. In the last fight of the night, former super-middleweight champion James Toney, fighting at light-heavyweight, defeated Ernest Mateen when Mateen was disqualified in the fifth round for persistent fouls. The Nevada Athletic Commission is withholding Mateen’s purse of $15,000 pending an investigation into his behavior.
Earlier, World Boxing Organization junior-bantamweight champion Johnny Tapia won a nontitle fight in a unanimous decision over Jesse Miranda. Also, super-bantamweight Erik Morales won a fourth-round technical knockout over Alberto Martinez, and former champion Kevin Kelly fought to a majority-decision draw with Clarence Adams.
