MULVANE, Kansas (Mawrth 25, 2017)A future star was born last night as 2016 Olympic bronze medalist Nico Hernandez turned in a stellar performance in his professional debut, rhoi'r gorau i Pat “Slacks” Gutierrez in the fourth round of the “KO Nos Gŵyl San Steffan: History Begins” prif ddigwyddiad, which aired live on CBS Sports Network from Kansas Star Arena in Mulvane, Kansas.

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 mewn dau fis.
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.
“Ymladd yma heno was much different than fighting in the Olympics (in Brazil). Heno they were cheering me, they booed me at the Olympics no matter who I fought because I was an American.
Yn y cyd-nodwedd, gifted New Haven (CT) southpaw 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 “Thunder” Garza (6-2, 2 Kos).
A classic boxer, Williams also showed some pop heno, 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 ddwywaith ac 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. Nawr, Rwyf am i frwydro yn erbyn y gorau. Let’s go!”
Relentless junior middleweight NeecoRoosterMacias (15-0, 8 Kos), fighting out of Tehachapi, California, 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. Dw i'n dal i ddysgu. 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.
In a non-title fight, Kansas State junior middleweight champion Efrain Morales (5-0, 2 Kos) aros yn undefeated, stopping fellow Kansan Robert Alexander Seyan (2-6, 2 Kos) yn y rownd agoriadol.
Kansas featherweight Eric Vargas (2-0, 1 KO) pitched a shutout, winning all four rounds against pro-debuting Kevin “Indio” Garcia.
Kansas cruiserweight Juan Hollingsworth (1-0) won his pro debut by way of a four-round unanimous decision over Raymond Gray (1-2),

2016 Olympic bronze medalist Nico Hernandez Joins elite group Saturday night in pro debut “KO Nos Gŵyl San Steffan: History Begins

Mawrth 25 on CBS Sports Network live from Kansas Star Arena

MULVANE, Kansas (Mawrth 20, 2017)– 2016 Olympic bronze medalist Nico Hernandez will join an elite group dydd Sadwrn night as he makes his professional debut in the “KO Nos Gŵyl San Steffan: History Begins” prif ddigwyddiad, darlledu (9 p.m. A / 6 p.m. PT) on CBS Sports Network live from Kansas Star Arena in Mulvane, Kansas.
“KO Nos Gŵyl San Steffan: History Beginsis presented by KO Night Boxing LLC, in association with Kansas Star Casino, and sponsored by Miller Lite, Mel Hambelton FORD and TITLE Boxing.
In his six-round bout against upset-minded Las Vegas (NV) flyweight 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 “Siwgr” Ray Leonard (Chwefror. 5, 1977, in Baltimore, MD, bencampwr byd dau-amser Mark Breland and world title challenger 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. Felly, Ni allaf golli. At the Olympics, 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, it comes. If it happens, it happens, but not going in there looking for a knockout. I’m used to fighting only three rounds (fel amatur) ond, 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, California, yn cymryd ar “porthor” Soriano (26-34-1, 16 Kos) in the opening televised bout. The extremely aggressive fighting Macias, who is the reigning World Boxing Council’s (CLlC) United States junior middleweight champion, ar hyn o bryd yn safle Rhif. 13 by the United States Boxing Association (USBA).
Yn fyr, 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. Yna, 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 (al), who pushes me. I never reach a plateau in workouts. We even steal workouts from other gyms. Ond, boxing is 80-percent mental and with the Adrenalin rush from fighting in front of large crowds, yn feddyliol, 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, hefyd. 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 “porthor,” he has tested the likes of world title challengers Jean Ware ac Ionut Dan Ion, as well as top contenders such as Kevin Bizier ac Logan McGuinness.

Real life “Rocky” moment at hand for Las VegasPatrick Gutierrez

Make or break fight for underdog vs.
2016 Olympic bronze medalist Nico Hernandez
Mawrth 25 on CBS Sports Network live from Kansas Star Arena
MULVANE, Kansas (Chwefror 23, 2017) – Pwysau pryf Patrick Gutierrez is going into his nationally-televised, prif ornest ddigwyddiad, Mawrth 25 in Kansas with high expectations against pro-debuting 2016 Olympic junior flyweight bronze medalist Nico Hernandez. Gutierrez is training hard in Las Vegas for his scheduled six-roundKnockout Night Boxing: History Beginsheadline bout to derail hometown hero Hernandezcoming out party
This fight is make or break for me,” the 22-year-old Gutierrez said about his ‘Rocky’-like moment. The crowd won’t bother me because I enjoy fighting in front of large crowds. I’ve learned the hard way that, fighting my opponent in his backyard, I can’t leave it in the hands of the judges. I watched Nico fight in the Olympics. I have a lot of respect for him and was proud of him for winning the bronze medal for our country. Ond, I also saw some flaws from the fight that he lost. He’s in trouble if he hasn’t corrected those flaws.

The CBS Sports Network all-star announcing team forHistory Beginswill include Hall-of-Famer JimJ.R.Ross, Sean Wheelock ac Joey Varner. Justin Roberts will be the ring announcer.
Hernandez, 21, was a highly-decorated amateur boxer (94-5) who is like a sports franchise in his hometown of Wichita.
A national Taekwondo champion as a youngster, Gutierrez played football in high school, at least until he realized that he had stopped growing, eliminating the possibility that he’d ever play college football. He had always liked combat sports and decided to try boxing.
I fell in love with boxing right away,” Gutierrez admitted. “I live in the fight capital of the world, Las Vegas, ac Floyd Mayweather (Jr.) was at his prime there when I first started boxing. I boxed in California (Orange County) and won a three-day tournament there as an amateur. I decided to turn pro but, due to some broken promises, I didn’t make my pro debut for two years. Felly, I just focused on training. I broke my wrist in the second round of my first fight but decided to stick with boxing. Six months later, I fought a California kid (Alexander Enriquez) in Los Angeles and felt that I had won all four rounds. I could tell because the large crowd was silent throughout the fight. I’ve learned the hard way, the past four years, but I’m still young and getting better every day. I had an easy fight scheduled for Mawrth 11 pan (hyrwyddwr) John Andersen called offering me this fight. I wanted to restart my career and jumped at the opportunity to fight Nico. I decided to take the risk to fight an Olympic medalist in his hometown. I just love fighting and I’m not going there to lose.
The eight-round co-feature shapes up as a southpaw battle between a rooster and bull. Rising junior middleweight star NeecoRoosterMacias (14-0, 8 Kos) puts his undefeated record on the line against dangerous Arturo “El Toro” Crespin (13-8-1, 4 Kos). Macias is a showman from Palm Desert, California, whose non-stop style makes him an instant fan favorite wherever he fights. HisRoosterpersona will be perfect for his first pro fight in Kansas.
Kansas cruiserweight Jeff Page, Jr. (17-3, 11 Kos), will open the televised portion of card in a six-round bout against an opponent to be determined.
Scheduled to fight on the non-televised undercard, in separate four-round matches, are four Kansas boxers: Kansas State junior middleweight champion Efrain Morales (4-0, 1 KO), ganol super Marcio Navarro a pwysau plu Eric Vargas (1-0, 1 KO). They will all face opponents to be determined.

Hailing from Arlington, Texas, the 38-year-old Yauger hopes to use her experience advantage when she makes her promotional debut against the younger Middleton.
