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.

POUR DIFFUSION IMMÉDIATE
Mars 25 on CBS Sports Network live from Kansas Star Arena

In his six-round bout against upset-minded Las Vegas (Nevada) masselotte Patrick Gutierrez (0-2), Wichita-native Hernandez will become only the fourth United States Olympic medalist in the last 40 years to make his pro debut at home in a nationally televised main event.
The other three members of this special quartet, all Olympic gold medalists and pro debut winners, include Hall of Famer “Sucre” Ray Leonard (Février. 5, 1977, in Baltimore, MD, champion du monde deux fois Mark Breland et challenger titre mondial Paul “Super Fly” Gonzales.
It’s a great feeling,” the 21-year-old Hernandez said from training camp. “I am feeling some pressure but, once I’m in the ring, everything goes away. There definitely is some pressure on me because I’m fighting where everybody knows me in my hometown. Si, Je ne peux pas perdre. Aux Jeux Olympiques, all the Americans there gave me more energy to win. I didn’t want to lose in front of my people. Fighting at home will push me to do my best.
I’m not really focused on fighting on national television. I’m going out there to put on a boxing clinic and, if the knockout comes, ça arrive. If it happens, it happens, but not going in there looking for a knockout. I’m used to fighting only three rounds (en tant qu'amateur) mais, as the fight goes on, I’ve always gotten better. Six rounds do give me more time to work on my opponent and do more damage.

The 25-year-old Macias (14-0, 8 KOs), fighting out of Palm Desert, Californie, prend “portier” Soriano (26-34-1, 16 KOs) in the opening televised bout. The extremely aggressive fighting Macias, who is the reigning World Boxing Council’s (WBC) United States junior middleweight champion, est actuellement classé Non. 13 par la United States Boxing Association (USBA).
En bref, Macias is an energized-bunny boxer, always going forward, throwing an arsenal of punches from every conceivable angle. His fan-friendly style, in addition to his rooster persona, makes him an instant favorite wherever he fights. Kansas fans there to support Hernandez will probably take to Macias before the first bell.
I never chose my nickname,” Macias explained. “I fought a lot in the amateurs between Los Angeles and Fresno, where there are a lot of Latino fans. They started calling me, Gallo, which is Spanish for Rooster. In my fourth fight, I did a little rooster dance and scratched. Puis, I was more dramatic, and eventually I started crowing. I crow and scratch before, during and after my fights, so I better live up to my nickname and keep winning.
We don’t just focus on techniques on camp, I go through some insane, hardcore workouts. Everybody gets tired in the ring but I train very hard and always find my second wind during fights because I train so hard. I’ve been doing it this way for the past five years. I have a good coach, my father (À la), who pushes me. I never reach a plateau in workouts. We even steal workouts from other gyms. Mais, boxing is 80-percent mental and with the Adrenalin rush from fighting in front of large crowds, mentalement, I have to be strong to physically do what I do in the ring.
Macias is getting close to breaking into the world ratings. Two of his last three fights have been shown on CBS Sports Network, both live from Las Vegas, including his USNBC-winning fight against previously undefeated Rolando Garza (9-0), the former member of the Mexican National Boxing Team. Macias took the fight to Garza fight from the opening bell, never letting up during this action-packed fight, until the referee stopped the fight in the fifth round.
Everybody hits the wall and I did against Garza in the fourth round,” Macias said, “but I got my second wind and finished him off in the fifth. I’ve gotten better since that fight, trop. I’m not a Floyd (Mayweather Jr..)-like fighter, so I’ve been working on my defense, keeping my hands high, elbows close to my body. I’m smothering opponents now, not giving them leverage, and I haven’t been getting cut like I did in my earlier fights.
I’m going to show fight smarts early, fighting in flurries and pressuring him inside to make him uncomfortable, and then wear him down for the middle and late rounds. The ‘Roosteris going to pressure him; tap, tap, tap to the body, until things settle down and then start digging punches to his head and body. I’m doing everything to come out of this fight 15-0.
Soriano has won his last two fights. He is the former Fecarbox and WBC Mundo Hispano lightweight champ. As a “portier,” he has tested the likes of world title challengers Jean Ware et Ionut Dan Ion, as well as top contenders such as Kevin Bizier et Logan McGuinness.

Super mi-moyens invaincu Erickson Lubin (18-0, 13 KOs) assommé Jorge Cota (23-2, 20 KOs) in a WBC 154-pound title eliminator, dropping the previously once-beaten Cota with a flush overhand left at 1:25 (OMS) of the fourth round.
Lubin now becomes the No. 2 challenger to WBC Welterweight World Championship Jermell Charlo, who is due a mandatory bout against No. 1 contender Charles Hatley.
The Orlando-native Lubin landed 47 percent of his power shots across four rounds of shutout boxing.
I baited him with the jab. I knew he was going to come with the big shots early,” Lubin said to reporter Jim Gray. “I put a few tricks on him, I landed that overhand and it was night-night. I put my hands down to bait him in, I did a squat and then it was night-night. I was ready to follow-up with a right but he was already out.
At just 21-years-old, Lubin now has an opportunity to become the youngest world champion in boxing today.
That would mean a lot to me; that would mean a lot to Orlando, Floride,” Lubin dit. “This is my second time knocking someone out in front of Ray Leonard. He’s one of my favorite fighters of all time. It’s an honor to do this on CBS.
