One of the most compelling battles of the weekend has been shelved.
Popular Dutch-based kickboxer Tyrone Spong was scheduled to meet Julian Pollard in the featured bout of the Big Knockout Boxing 3 card on Saturday at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, but he sustained an injury in training earlier this week and has been forced off the card.
Filling in for Spong is Rodney Hernandez, a professional boxer from Modesto, Calif. with a 7-2-1 record.
