Olympic bronze medalist Nico Hernandez Riding on the fast track

Laat een reactie achter

 


LAS VEGAS (Juni 26, 2017) — Fresh off his sensational stoppage of previously undefeated Jose “Mexican Diablo” Rodriguez, 2016 Olympisch bronzen medaillewinnaar Nico Hernandez is riding the fast track to stardom on an exciting journey that’s just really started.
In the June 17th “KO Night Boksen: Snel vuur” main event, which aired live on CBS Sports Network from Hartman Arena in Park City, Kansas, Hernandez improved his record to 2-0 (2 KO), dropping Rodriguez three times and closing the show in the third round..
The 21-year-old Hernandez, uitvechten van Wichita, 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 17th gevecht. “I’ve fought the best at the Olympics, so I wasn’t worried about what he (Rodriguez) hij deed. 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 (Ander) Afdeling en (Vasyl) Lomanchenko have done…become world champion!”
The highest-rated flyweight in the world today is 36-year-old Brian Viloria (37-5, 22 KO), the 4-time, 2-division world champion and 2000 U.S. Olympiër. Considering his advanced age for a boxer, de “Hawaian Punch” will probably be retired by the time Hernandez is ready for a world title shot, leaving Oscar Cantu en Miguel Cartagena as the only American featherweights currently rated among the top 25 in de wereld.
“Nico was great in his last fight and everybody is seeing what we want to do with him,” Hernadez’ promotor John Andersen (KO Night Boksen) bekend. “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, nu, is led by a pair of stars, Kazuto Ioka, van Japan, and Filipino Donnie Nietes. The future of lower weight-classes may very well belong to Nico Hernandez.

The onslaught continued briefly as the Olympian pounded Rodriguez (2-1, 2 KO), knocking him down for the third time and final time as referee Kevin Champion counted him out at 2:38.

“I didn’t expect him to keep coming, getting up and still coming forward. I’ll talk to my promoter and coaches and see what’s next.”

Nico Hernandez celebrated his triumph at home in front of family and friends

2016 Olympic bronze medalist Nico Hernandez Dedicated to building boxing in Wichita & across Kansas

Airing live on CBS Sports Network from
Hartman Arena in Kansas
PARK CITY, Kansas (Juni 1, 2017) – Wichita-native Nico Hernandez (1-0, 1 KO), een 2016 Olympisch bronzen medaillewinnaar, is on a mission to establish his home as a real “fight town” like world champion Terence Crawford has done in Omaha, Nebraska.
The 21-year-old Hernandez returns to action Zaterdag, Juni 17, in the six-round main event against Mexican-born flyweight opponent Jose Rodriguez (2-0, 2 KO), hemelbekleding “KO Night Boksen: Snel vuur”, which will air (10 p.m. EN / 7 p.m. PT) op CBS Sports Network live vanuit Hartman Arena in Park City, Kansas.
“KO Night Boksen: Snel vuur” is a presentation of KO Night Boxing LLC.
Hernandez drew nearly 3,200 fans for his professional debut, Maart 25, in het nabijgelegen Mulvane (KS), in which he knocked out Patrick Gutierrez in de vierde ronde van het hoofdtoernooi, which was also televised live on CBS Sports Network.
Hernandez’ promotor, KO Night Boksen, 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,” promotor John Andersen zei. “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 In “Snel vuur” main event June 17

Hartman Arena in Kansas
PARK CITY, Kansas (Mei 11, 2017) – Unfazed Mexico-native Jose Rodriguez is determined to knockout 2016 Olympisch bronzen medaillewinnaar Nico Hernandez op Zaterdag, Juni 17, in de “KO Night Boksen: Snel vuur” headline event.

Hernandez, geboren in Wichita (1-0, 1 KO) will be fighting at home against Rodriquez (2-0, 2 KO), a flyweight living in Wisconsin,in the six-round main event that will air (10 p.m. EN / 7 p.m. PT) op CBS Sports Network live vanuit Hartman Arena in Park City, Kansas.
“KO Night Boksen: Snel vuur” is a presentation of KO Night Boxing LLC.
Hernandez drew nearly 3,200 fans for his professional debut, Maart 25, in het nabijgelegen Mulvane (KS), in which the 21-year-old future star stopped Patrick Gutierrez in de vierde ronde van het hoofdtoernooi, 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. Trainer Eddie Haynes gave Rodriguez an opportunity to join Team Certified, which includes former world title challenger Angel Manfredy, who also works Rodriguez’ corner.
After a brief yet undefeated amateur career, highlighted by Rodriguez’ gold-medal performance in the in the Milwaukee Golden Gloves Championships, Jose turned pro last July in Milwaukee against Nicholas Brand. Nu, he has a pair of first-round knockouts, the last this past September against Richard Tallmadge, who was coached by Nate Jones, ironisch, 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, van start tot finish, 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, I’m knocking him out. If he thinks this is going to be an easy fight, he’ll know who I am after our fight. Ik ga hem afmaken!”
Unbeaten Canadian featherweight Marc “Gwapo” Pagcaliwangan (10-0-1, 8 KO) takes on Mexican invader Engel “Verschrikkelijk” Monrreal (9-8-1, 3 KO) in the eight-round co-feature. Pagacaliwangan is a Taekwondo-trained fighter of Filipino heritage. He is a three-time Ontario Golden Gloves and two-time Provincial amateur champion in his native Canada.
Wichita junior middleweight Noel Esquada (7-3-2, 5 KO) voldoet aan 2012 Chicago Golden Gloves champion Limberth “El Gallito” Ponce (12-3, 9 KO) in a scheduled six-round bout. Garden City (KS) vedergewicht vooruitzicht Eric Vargas (2-0, 1 KO) staat voor pro-debuut Humberto “Tito” Tellez, fighting out of Winfield (KS).
Non-televised “KO Night Boksen: Snel vuur” undercard bouts featuring additional Kansas fighters will soon be announced. Alle gevechten en vechters zijn aan verandering.

De 21-jarige Hernandez toonde een enorm evenwicht en een paar aanpassingen aan zijn amateurstijl, het toevoegen van een verwoestende lichaamsaanval, naast dat hij soms effectief overschakelde van zijn orthodoxe houding naar linkshandige.

“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.”

“Gutierrez was the perfect opponent for Nico’s pro debut,” becommentarieerde John Andersen, who promotes Hernandez as well as the June 17th tonen. “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 mensen, 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.”
Hernandez’ 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,” he explained, “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 opponents’ body and then, in later rounds, go back to boxing. He fought at 115-pounds but he’ll be back to 112 voor deze strijd. 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 KO) 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 Floyd Mayweather, Jr., Stevie Johnston en Diego Corrales certainly aids his fighter. Manfredy (43-8-1, 32 KO) had statement victories over Arturo Gatti, Julio Diaz en Ivan Robinson, onder de meer notabelen.

MULVANE, Kansas (Maart 25, 2017) — A future star was born last night as 2016 Olympisch bronzen medaillewinnaar Nico Hernandez turned in a stellar performance in his professional debut, stoppen Pat “Slacks” Gutierrez in the fourth round of the “KO Night Boksen: History Begins” main event, which aired live on CBS Sports Network from Kansas Star Arena in Mulvane, Kansas.
“KO Night Boksen: History Begins” was presented by 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 Gutierrez’ body 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.

“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 in twee maanden.
“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.
“Hier vechten vanavond was much different than fighting in the Olympics (in Brazilië). Vanavond they were cheering me, they booed me at the Olympics no matter who I fought because I was an American.”
In de co-functie, gifted New Haven (CT) linkshandige Tramaine “De machtige dwerg” Williams improved his undefeated record to 10-0 (3 KO), displaying special ring skills on his way to an impressive eight-round unanimous decision over tough Eduardo “Donder” Garza (6-2, 2 KO).
A classic boxer, Williams also showed some pop vanavond, 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 tweemaal en 78-72.

“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. Nu, Ik wil de beste te bestrijden. Laten we gaan!”
Relentless junior middleweight Neeco “Rooster” Macias (15-0, 8 KO), fighting out of Tehachapi, Californië, enhanced his reputation as a rising contender on the regional scene, assaulting his game Mexican foe, Cesar Soriano (26-35-1, 16 KO), 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. Ik ben nog steeds aan het leren. 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 KO) dropped Missouri veteran Steve “The Spoiler” Walker (26-34-1, 16 KO) 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 KO) bleef ongeslagen, stopping fellow Kansan Robert Alexander Seyan (2-6, 2 KO) in de openingsronde.
Kansas featherweight Eric Vargas (2-0, 1 KO) pitched a shutout, winning all four rounds against pro-debuting Kevin “Indio” Garcia.

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

Maart 25 on CBS Sports Network live from Kansas Star Arena

MULVANE, Kansas (Maart 20, 2017) –– 2016 Olympic bronze medalist Nico Hernandez will join an elite group deze zaterdag night as he makes his professional debut in the “KO Night Boksen: History Begins” main event, luchten (9 p.m. EN / 6 p.m. PT) on CBS Sports Network live from Kansas Star Arena in Mulvane, Kansas.
“KO Night Boksen: History Begins” is 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) vlieggewicht 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 “Suiker” Ray Leonard (Februari. 5, 1977, in Baltimore, MD, twee keer wereldkampioen 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. Zo, Ik kan niet verliezen. Op de Olympische Spelen, 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, het komt. If it happens, it happens, but not going in there looking for a knockout. I’m used to fighting only three rounds (als amateur) maar, 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.”
