(MAY 16) It's been nearly 18 months since former WBO Featherweight Champion Ivan Choko Hernandez has fought, and after his tough loss to Isreal Vasquez he had some doubts about his future. But Hernandez looked anything by rusty last night on Roy Englebrecht Promotions sold out private show at the Hyatt Regency Irvine.

Before 1,000 tuxedo clad fans, Hernandez won an eight round unanimous decision over a game Anyetei Laryea from Ghana. Using his ring experience to cut down a quick Laryea, Hernandez won flurries in almost every round, and in the process won the Golden State Championship Belt. Hernandez moves to 24-3 while Laryea stands at 16-3.

In the Golden State Championship Belt for females, San Diego's Carly Batey took home the belt with a unanimous decision over a very game Sharon Gaines, in a bout that was closer than the final decision tells. Batey and Gaines throw punches for eight rounds, with Batey scoring more close in. She goes to 4-3 while Gaines from Las Vegas goes to 11-11.

The opening bout of the three bout card saw a majority draw between Joel Mills 4-3-1 and Angel Osuna 2-1-1.
