Yoan Pablo Hernández, a professional boxer from Cuba, has had a remarkable career that spanned over 14 years. Throughout his career, Hernández fought a total of 31 fights, winning 29 of them, with no draws or no-contests, and suffered only two losses, both of them in non-title bouts. Out of his 29 wins, 14 of them came via knockout, establishing him as a force to be reckoned with inside the ring.

Hernández made his debut in the professional boxing world on September 3, 2005, at the young age of 20 years, against David Vicena, whom he defeated via a second-round TKO. He then went on to win 13 more consecutive fights, with seven of them coming via stoppage, proving himself as a boxer with immense potential and a promising future in boxing.

Hernández's first world-title fight came after he had fought 25 professional fights, on October 1, 2011. He faced Steve Cunningham for the IBF cruiserweight title, and Hernández emerged victorious via a 6th round technical-decision, enjoying his first world-title win at the age of 26. Hernández has since won world titles twice, with four successful title defenses over the course of his career.

One of the most significant highlights of Hernández's career came on February 4, 2012, when he won The Ring cruiserweight title from Steve Cunningham. He won the title by beating Cunningham via a 12th round unanimous decision, proving that he is not only a worthy champion but also one of the best cruiserweights in the world.

Over the course of his career, Hernández has had some of the best fights in boxing history, with some notable victories over boxers like Steve Cunningham, Aleksandr Alekseyev, Troy Ross, Steve Hérélius, Firat Arslan, Daniel Bispo, and Mohamed Azzaoui. These victories are a testament to his exceptional punching ability, powerful moves, and unwavering dedication to the sport of boxing.

Although Hernández has suffered two losses over the course of his career, both of them in non-title bouts, he retired from professional boxing with a record of 29-2, including 14 knockout wins and two losses via knockout, and two title wins. Hernández's last professional fight was a non-title bout against Kevin Johnson, which he lost via a 7th round KO. This fight took place on August 22, 2020, and since then, Hernández has been focusing on his life outside of the ring.

In conclusion, Yoan Pablo Hernández's career in boxing is nothing short of remarkable. From his humble beginnings to becoming a two-time world champion, he has established himself as one of the most talented and influential boxers in the history of the sport. His 29 wins, 14 of which were knockout wins, only attest to his incredible skills and raw talent. Hernández's impact on boxing and his legacy will not be forgotten anytime soon.
