That's brilliant spot!
He won the Aussie Middleweight title as well and father Anthony Mundine. Some boy!

It gives the audience the illusion that the prospect is fighting some one half decent. But then this is typical in how fighters are brought forward.
It's the same for the Eastern European tomato cans that are brought over here. They have wins, in gym fights in their own country, to give them the illusion of credibility, then get knocked out whenever they go on the road.
he's beaten UFC veterans Joe Riggs, Cabbage Coreirra, Wes Sims, Heath Herring, drew with Jeremy Horn and has been in with some really good company, not quite the same as the East Eurobums

UFC and boxing are different sports

I've become intrigued by this guy...36 year old Peruvian light-welter Tony Fernandez has managed a 35-0 (23) record and is currently a lofty #320 in boxrec's world rankings.

That really doesn't tell the story of this mans totally bizarre career.

two of his KO's were over a world champion and a British champion. Amazing.
Funny I was just thinking of him as I read the initial post!
Some journeymen were decent!!
Anthony Hannah fought for a British & is a hard little pro.
Steve foster got thrown in early on & has a intresting record as does Steve Robinson,who's son is fighting now I think?
I fought Antony- good fighter

His record is only remarkable because he managed to fit it around his 300+ MMA fights

That is truly an incredible fighting record. I'm taking a guess that this guy does not feel pain! (But doesn't have a good chin)
What is remarkable is that his first 32 fights didn't go the distance, and all of his wins were via the early route.
