The undefeated boxer of KnockOut Promotions quickly imposed his fighting pace, put pressure on the boxer from Mexico and broke the opponent's defense. Cherkashin did not go into exchanges and made a bet on the imperfection of the opponent's defense.
In the course of the rounds, Cherkashin's advantage grew. The 27-year-old fighter attacked in the squares, and at the end of the seventh fight seriously shocked Espadas, who was saved from a knockout by a gong.
The ending came in the ninth round. Cherkashin delivered a series of blows to the body, the Mexican turned his back on him, and the referee stopped the fight. For Cherkashin, this was the third victory in front of the American public.
