MULVANE, Kansas (Mars 25, 2017)A future star was born last night as 2016 médaillé de bronze olympique Nico Hernandez turned in a stellar performance in his professional debut, arrêt Tapoter “Slacks” Gutierrez in the fourth round of the “KO Night Boxing: L'histoire commence” événement principal, which aired live on CBS Sports Network from Kansas Star Arena in Mulvane, Kansas.
“KO Night Boxing: L'histoire commence” a été présenté par KO Night Boxing LLC, in association with Kansas Star Casino, and sponsored by Miller Lite, Mel Hambelton FORD and TITLE Boxing.
The large, hometown crowd of more than 3,100 had Hernandez (1-0, 1 KO) pumped to start the fight, in which he quickly established himself as the clear aggressor. The 21-year-old settled down in the second, showing his full arsenal of punches, as he banged Gutierrezbody and also landed effectively upstairs.
Hernandez cut off the ring in the third, often trapping Gutierrez (0-3) on the ropes, where he unloaded punishing punches that started to take its toll on the gutsy Las Vegas fighter. Hernandez’ dominance continued in the fourth, even as he surprisingly switched from orthodox to southpaw stance, hurting Gutierrez until his corner asked the referee to halt the action.
Nico Hernandez (R) pounded Pat Gutierrez
It doesn’t get better than this,” a beaming Hernandez said after the fight. “It means so much for me to bring boxing to Wichita, to all of Kansas, for these awesome fans. I started switching up a little because it was worked. I’d like to get back fighting again dans deux mois.
I wasn’t to thank KO Night Boxing. This was the way I pictured it. As I was waiting in the tunnel, I could hear the crowd chanting my name. This was a great night of boxing. I want to bring more shows here.
“Combattre ici ce soir was much different than fighting in the Olympics (in Brazil). Ce soir they were cheering me, they booed me at the Olympics no matter who I fought because I was an American.
Dans la co-métrage, gifted New Haven (CT) gaucher Tramaine “The Mighty Midget” Williams improved his undefeated record to 10-0 (3 KOs), displaying special ring skills on his way to an impressive eight-round unanimous decision over tough Eduardo “Tonnerre” Garza (6-2, 2 KOs).
A classic boxer, Williams also showed some pop ce soir, dropping Garza twice, once in the first round and again in the third. Williams, who made his promotional debut for Roc Nation Sports, rolled to victory by scores of 79-71 deux fois et 78-72.
Tramaine Williams (R) outclassed Eduardo Garza
I performance okay,” Williams commented. “The last two rounds I was a little winded but I hadn’t been in the ring for two years. We knew he dropped his chin when he jabbed; I followed the game plan and it worked. He fought his butt off, he didn’t come to lose. Maintenant, Je veux me battre le meilleur. Allons-y!”
Relentless junior middleweight NeecoRoosterMacias (15-0, 8 KOs), fighting out of Tehachapi, Californie, enhanced his reputation as a rising contender on the regional scene, assaulting his game Mexican foe, Cesar Soriano (26-35-1, 16 KOs), from the opening bell until the very end for a hard-fought win by eight-round unanimous decision.
A southpaw known for his non-stop motor, Macias connected with punches thrown from every conceivable angle, leaving Soriano no room to move or time to catch his wind, to win by scores of 80-71, 79-72, 78-73).
Neeco Macias had too much for Cesar Soriano
I feel like I could have done better,” Macias admitted. “My opponent came to fight eight rounds and we respect for each other. Je continue à apprendre. Everybody has a game plan until they get hit. I didn’t move like I should have. I thank my opponent for giving me a fight I can learn from.

I was surprised he took so many punches, but he’s a veteran and I didn’t underestimate him. I trained hard and needed every bit of it. I’m getting better and I’m coming back strong to make boxing more exciting.

Fighting for the first time since last August, Kansas favorite Jeff Page, Jr. (18-3, 12 KOs) dropped Missouri veteran Steve “The SpoilerWalker (26-34-1, 16 KOs) three times for a first-round technical knockout victory in a fight contested at a 186-pounds catchweight.
Dans un combat sans titre, Kansas State junior middleweight champion Efrain Morales (5-0, 2 KOs) resté invaincu, stopping fellow Kansan Robert Alexander Seyan (2-6, 2 KOs) dans la manche d'ouverture.
Kansas featherweight Eric Vargas (2-0, 1 KO) pitched a shutout, winning all four rounds against pro-debuting Kevin “Indio” Garcia.

JORGE LINARES DEFENDS WBA LIGHTWEIGHT WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP SATURDAY ON SHOWTIME BOXING INTERNATIONAL® FROM MANCHESTER ENGLAND

Win Sets Up A Possible Unification Fight With WBC World Champion Mikey Garcia; Encore Presentation of Ce soir Fight Airs at 10 p.m. ET/PT sur SHO EXTREME®

NEW YORK (Mars 25, 2017) – Jorge Linares defended his WBA Lightweight World Championship with a unanimous decision victory over Anthony Crolla Samedi evening on SHOWTIME BOXING INTERNATIONAL from Manchester, Angleterre. The win sets Linares up for a possible unification fight with WBC Lightweight World Champion Mikey Garcia, a matchup that would be considered one of the best that can be made in any weight class.

Samedi main event from Manchester Arena aired live on SHOWTIME. Live fight coverage was provided by Sky Sports with Adam Smith calling play-by-play and world champion Carl Froch serving as ringside analyst. Garcia joined SHOWTIME Sports host Brian Custer and analysts Al Bernstein and Paul Malignaggi to provide commentary from a New York studio.

Linares and Crolla previously fought a fierce, closely contested battle last September, one that Linares won by just a few rounds. Samedi, Linares retained the belt by a wide margin—118-109 on all three scorecards—virtually outclassing Crolla from the outset.

“He seems to be getting better with age,” said Froch, sharing a growing sentiment among boxing pundits.

Linares (42-3, 27 KO) cruised through much of the fight with an impressive display of boxing skill and power. A precisely timed uppercut floored Crolla in the seventh. Moments later Linares nearly finished him with a flurry against the ropes. Crolla, cependant, would not go quietly. The Manchester native, perhaps spurned by his home crowd, bravely grew more aggressive in the second half of the fight. But Linares was simply too sharp, too fast and too comfortable for Crolla to overcome.

Mikey Garcia is coming off a brilliant knockout of world champion Dejan Zlaticanin in January and is hungry for a unification bout.

"Tout d'abord, I congratulate Jorge Linares for a great win,”A déclaré Garcia. “His skill, flexibility, combinations and power were definitely impressive. I hope we can make a fight as soon as possible. He didn’t look cut or hurt so maybe we can fight this summer.”

WBC SANCTIONS SUPER ÉLIMINATEUR DE POIDS MOYEN ENTRE DAVID BENAVIDEZ ET ROGELIO MEDINA POUR #2 OBLIGATOIRE AU CHAMPIONNAT DU MONDE


Maintenant que la sanction a été officiellement accordée, le prochain combat pour le super-moyen invaincu brûlant David “Le drapeau rouge” Benavidez sera un éliminateur pour la #2 place de challenger obligatoire dans le classement mondial de la WBC contre le concurrent réputé Rogelio “Porky” Medina, de Sonora, Mexique.

Callum Smith classé n ° 1 au WBC et Anthony Dirrell, classé n ° 2 au WBC, se battront pour le poste 168 Championnat WBC (provisoirement prévu pour mai), le vainqueur de ce combat doit alors affronter WBC invaincu #3 concurrent, Avni Yildirim, de la Turquie. Le champion à l'issue de ces deux combats sera mandaté pour affronter le vainqueur du Benavidez vs. Éliminateur de médina.

Pour Benavidez (17-0, 16 KOs), qui a été le principal partenaire d'entraînement pour les récents préparatifs du champion des poids moyens Gennady Golovkin pour affronter Danny Jacobs, la nouvelle du combat avec Medina est un développement bienvenu.

“C'est la plus grande opportunité de ma vie et je ne vais pas la laisser se perdre,” Ledit Benavidez. “Je vais détruire ce mec comme je le fais avec tout le monde. Je ne me suis jamais entraîné aussi dur pour un combat et je le sens, viens le temps du combat, Je serai extrêmement fort et je le ferai.”

Considéré comme un prodige de la boxe par beaucoup, Benavidez, 20 ans, qui est devenu professionnel à l'âge 16, est le frère de l'ancien intérimaire WBA World Super Lightweight Jose Benavidez, et a été formé depuis l'âge de deux ans par son père Jose Benavidez Sr.

Le père / entraîneur Jose dit que tout le monde dans l'équipe Benavidez est conscient de ce qui est en jeu contre la formidable Médina, qui a perdu une décision controversée face au champion du monde IBF James DeGale l’année dernière, dans un combat que beaucoup pensaient que Medina avait gagné.

“Nous sommes enthousiastes et travaillons très dur,” il dit. “C'est le combat le plus dur de sa carrière, donc on prend ça très au sérieux. C'est une grande opportunité pour nous de briller et de bien paraître et de passer au niveau supérieur. Nous nous entraînions avec Golovkin ici à Big Bear (Californie) et nous avons décidé de rester ici et de continuer à nous entraîner jusqu'au combat.”

“Je sais que c’est un combattant coriace et qu’il a été dans de nombreuses guerres, et il a beaucoup d'expérience, mais je suis très motivé pour ce combat,” continua David. “Nous avons déjà un mois et demi d'entraînement avec Golovkin au camp. Camper avec lui est un travail difficile et s'entraîner ici à Big Bear vous permet de passer au niveau supérieur. Le travail acharné que je fais ici me permettra certainement d’obtenir cette victoire.”

Le promoteur Lewkowicz dit que toutes les questions restantes sur le jeune Benavidez trouveront une réponse dans ce combat.

“C'est le test final pour David Benavidez,” a déclaré Lewkowicz. “S'il fait à ce gars ce qu'il a fait à d'autres combattants, il sera temps pour le monde de reconnaître que David va être une star de la boxe. Ce test montrera à tout le monde qu'il est vraiment tout ce que nous disons depuis qu'il est adolescent. Je suis fier du travail acharné qu'il accomplit et j'ai hâte de remporter cette grande victoire.”

La date et le lieu du combat sont en cours de négociation. Plus de détails à suivre.
