Herrera managed to weather the storm, adjusted his defense, and began working patiently to break down the Panamanian.<\/p>\n<p>The finish came in the eighth round when Herrera landed a powerful right hand that left N\u00fa\u00f1ez visibly hurt and barely held up by the ropes. During the intervention, an unusual moment occurred when referee Daniel Van de Wiele tripped over Herrera and fell to the canvas.<\/p>\n<p>However, upon standing up, he firmly maintained his decision to stop the fight to protect the well being of N\u00fa\u00f1ez, who was in no condition to continue. With this win, Herrera establishes himself as one of the most exciting figures in the 135-pound division.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full
