Olympic bronze medalist Nico Hernandez Riding on the fast track

 


LAS VEGAS (Юни 26, 2017)
Fresh off his sensational stoppage of previously undefeated Jose “Mexican Diablo” Rodriguez, 2016 Олимпийски бронзов медалист Нико Ернандес is riding the fast track to stardom on an exciting journey that’s just really started.
In the June 17тата “KO Night Boxing: Rapid Fire” Main Event, which aired live on CBS Sports Network from Hartman Arena in Park City, Канзас, Hernandez improved his record to 2-0 (2 Нокаута), dropping Rodriguez three times and closing the show in the third round..
The 21-year-old Hernandez, борба от Уичита, is already proving to be a better professional boxer that he was an amateur, despite all his accomplishments and achievements in the non-paying ranks, firing effective combinations from a wide variety of angles, including punishing body shots and devastating, powerful punches to his opponent’s head.
Because Hernandez fights in the featherweight division, which is void of overwhelming talent and lacks top-notch Americans, along with his amateur pedigree and experience fighting boxers with different styles, Hernandez can likely crack the world ratings this year, possibily getting a world title shot in 2018.
I did my thing tonight,” Hernandez said after his June 17тата борба. “I’ve fought the best at the Olympics, so I wasn’t worried about what he (Rodriguez) той го направи. This fight was a little personal because he’d said he was knocking me out. I got tired of him and went into the ring trying to take him out. We can be friends now.
I just need to stay on path and I will. I’ve been on the top since I started boxing when I was nine. I want to do what other Olympians like (Друг) Опека и (Васил) Ломанченко have donebecome world champion!”
The highest-rated flyweight in the world today is 36-year-old Brian Viloria (37-5, 22 Нокаута), the 4-time, 2-division world champion and 2000 U.S. Олимпиец. Considering his advanced age for a boxer, на “Hawaian Punchwill probably be retired by the time Hernandez is ready for a world title shot, leaving Oscar Cantu и Мигел Картахена as the only American featherweights currently rated among the top 25 в света.
Nico was great in his last fight and everybody is seeing what we want to do with him,” Hernadez’ промотор John Andersen (KO Night Boxing) отбелязано. “We need to step up the competition for him in his next fight, which will probably be his last six-round bout. Our plan is one more six and then an eight-rounder for the vacant World Boxing Council (WBC) International Youth featherweight title. But Nico has options because he can easily drop down to junior flyweight or move up to super flyweight. We’ll take things fight-by-fight with him with an eye on the immediate future for a world title fight.
The featherweight division, в момента, is led by a pair of stars, Kazuto Ioka, of Japan, and Filipino Donnie Nietes. The future of lower weight-classes may very well belong to Nico Hernandez.

Ернандес’ промотор, KO Night Boxing, LLC, is committed to showcasing Hernandez at home on national television, as well as provide a platform for young Kansas boxers for them to develop their skills and build intra-state rivalries as evident on this card.
My plan is to do it like Terence Crawford has done in Omaha,” Hernandez explained. “I’m hoping it works out as well for me. It means so much for me to bring boxing to Wichita, to all of Kansas, for these fans and all the good, young boxers we have here.
This is a good opportunity for fighters from Wichita, across Kanas, to showcase their skills to the boxing world,” промотор John Andersen каза. “Nico is giving all these other fighters a chance to do that by headlining our shows on CBS Sports Network. They need to fight to develop; otherwise, they’d have to travel far from home just to fight. They can build fanbases close to their hometowns.

We’re an up-and-coming promotional company, much like Nico as a pro fighter, and together we want to build boxing across Kansas and build natural rivalries like we have on this card. Nico is the perfect fighter to do this because, in addition to being an Olympic medalist, he’s a great role model for young people in Wichita, and Kansas as a whole, to emulate. We’ve planted the boxing seed in Wichita, through Nico, and we feel that boxing is going to grow across the state where Nico is bigger than life.

Jose Rodriguez unfazed, determined to KO 2016 Olympic bronze medalist Nico Hernandez InRapid Firemain event June 17

Airing live on CBS Sports Network from
Hartman Arena in Kansas
PARK CITY, Канзас (Май 11, 2017) – Unfazed Mexico-native Jose Rodriguez is determined to knockout 2016 Олимпийски бронзов медалист Нико Ернандес на Събота, Юни 17, в “KO Night Boxing: Rapid Fireheadline event.

Wichita-native Hernandez (1-0, 1 KO) will be fighting at home against Rodriquez (2-0, 2 Нокаута), a flyweight living in Wisconsin,in the six-round main event that will air (10 p.m. И / 7 p.m. PT) on CBS Sports Network live from Hartman Arena in Park City, Канзас.
“KO Night Boxing: Rapid Fireis a presentation of KO Night Boxing LLC.
Hernandez drew nearly 3,200 fans for his professional debut, Март 25, in nearby Mulvane (KS), in which the 21-year-old future star stopped Patrick Gutierrez in the fourth round of the main event, which was also televised live on CBS Sports Network.
Rodriguez is chasing the American dream having moved 12 years ago to Wisconsin for a job opportunity and better life for his family. He had started boxing in Mexico but was unable to continue because he needed to work. A few years after he moved to Wisconsin, Rodriguez decided he wanted to box again, although he had a difficult time finding a trainer who wanted to work with a 24-year-old novice. Треньор Eddie Haynes gave Rodriguez an opportunity to join Team Certified, which includes former world title challenger Angel Manfredy, who also works Rodriguezcorner.
After a brief yet undefeated amateur career, highlighted by Rodriguezgold-medal performance in the in the Milwaukee Golden Gloves Championships, Jose turned pro last July in Milwaukee against Nicholas Brand. Сега, he has a pair of first-round knockouts, the last this past September against Richard Tallmadge, who was coached by Nate Jones, По ирония на съдбата, also an American Olympic bronze-medal winner in 1996.
Rodriguez, who drives 1 ½-hours to train at his gym, works the night shift in a factory. “I fight for my wife and three children,” the 29-year-old Rodriquez said. “This is a very important fight for me because, when I knock him out, it’ll open doors for me and my team. I train very hard every day because I want to make a living boxing, or at least enough to work less hours, so I can see my kids more than the hour a day I do now. I’ve already lost too much time
This is going to be a good action-fight, от начало до край, as long as it lasts. I like to fight inside, putting a lot of pressure on my opponent. I don’t want to leave it in the hands of the judges. No decision, Аз съм го нокаутира. If he thinks this is going to be an easy fight, he’ll know who I am after our fight. Отивам да го довърши!”

The 21-year-old Hernandez displayed tremendous poise and a few tweaks to his amateur style, adding a devastating body attack, in addition to effectively switching from his orthodox stance to southpaw at times.

I feel that there will be even more people there this fight than at my pro debut,” Hernandez said. “I live only a 10 to 15-minute drive from Hartman Arena, north of Wichita.
I worked hard on body punching for my pro debut. I didn’t do that in the amateurs (no scoring points) and I’m getting use to switching to southpaw. Both were in our game plan and successful in my firsts fight. I’m excited to get right back in the ring, especially at home. Our plan is to fight every two to three months and have a total of four fights this year.
“KO Night Boxing: Rapid Fireis a presentation of KO Night Boxing LLC.
Gutierrez was the perfect opponent for Nico’s pro debut,” коментира John Andersen, who promotes Hernandez as well as the June 17тата шоу. “He was tough but now it’s time to step it up a little against a 2-0 opponent with two knockouts. Nico is starting to climb the ladder to get him where we want him to go. We need to move him quicker than an average fighter, largely due to his amateur background, and he’ll probably have only one more six-round bout after this before moving him up to eight.
I thought he looked a little nervous in his pro debut at the start, but that’s expected for a fighter making his pro debut at home in front of nearly 3,200 хора, and after that he was great. We couldn’t have asked for anything more and he did get in some rounds that will be helpful.
This fight will be close to where Nico lives. Nico really connects to kids in the community, often speaking at local schools, and this is the perfect opportunity for parents to bring their children to watch him fight on a weekend night.
We’re calling this show, ‘Rapid Fire,’ primarily because of Nico’s exciting style, firing crisp combinations in rapid succession, in addition to his activity level as he comes right back to fight so quickly.
Ернандес’ father and head trainer, Lewis Hernandez, believes fans will see a more improved, well-rounded fighter in this fight. “Nico showed his body punching and he switched around a little to fight lefthanded,” той обясни, “which weren’t part of his boxing style in the amateurs. Fans will see the fighter Nico really is but this fight he’ll get back to boxing more. I told him that he needed to go to the body as a professional fighter but that each punch doesn’t have to be as hard. Sometimes I need to remind him of that because he’s a fighter at heart.
I knew he’d be okay in his pro debut (nerves-wise) because he gets going as the fight goes on. When he hurts his opponent, he comes on even stronger. I just tell him to box and be himself. He’s always well-conditioned so he can go rounds without a problem. I want him to be fast and elusive to take away his opponentsbody and then, in later rounds, go back to boxing. He fought at 115-pounds but he’ll be back to 112 за тази битка. Nico was strong at 115 and he’ll be very strong at flyweight.
A 29-year-old native of Mexico who fights out of Markesan, Wisconsin, Rodriguez (2-0, 2 Нокаута) has two first-round knockouts in a pair of pro fights. Rodriguez is trained by four-time world title challenger Angel Manfredy, whose invaluable experience from fighting Флойд Мейуедър, Jr., Stevie Johnston и Диего Коралес certainly aids his fighter. Manfredy (43-8-1, 32 Нокаута) had statement victories over Артуро Гати, Julio Diaz и Ivan Robinson, Сред по-първенци.

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. Ернандес’ 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.

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 за два месеца.
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.

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. Сега, Искам да се бори с най-доброто. Let’s go!”
Relentless junior middleweight NeecoRoosterMacias (15-0, 8 Нокаута), fighting out of Tehachapi, Калифорния, enhanced his reputation as a rising contender on the regional scene, assaulting his game Mexican foe, Сезар Сориано (26-35-1, 16 Нокаута), from the opening bell until the very end for a hard-fought win by eight-round unanimous decision.

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. Аз съм все още се учат. 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.

2016 Olympic bronze medalist Nico Hernandez Joins elite group Saturday night in pro debut “KO Night Boxing: History Begins

За незабавно освобождаване
Март 25 on CBS Sports Network live from Kansas Star Arena

Mulvane, Канзас (Март 20, 2017)– 2016 Olympic bronze medalist Nico Hernandez will join an elite group тази събота night as he makes his professional debut in the “KO Night Boxing: History Begins” Main Event, проветряване (9 p.m. И / 6 p.m. PT) on CBS Sports Network live from Kansas Star Arena in Mulvane, Канзас.
“KO Night Boxing: 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 “Захар” Ray Leonard (Февруари. 5, 1977, in Baltimore, MD, Двукратният световен шампион 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. Така, Аз не може да загуби. 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 (като аматьор) но, 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.
