MULVANE, මැයි. (මැයි 21, 2018) — History was made this past Saturday night on the “SUPERBOX LIVE: High Stakes” pay-per-view card, කවදා ද 2016 Olympic bronze medalist and local hero, Nico Hernandez, knocked out Hungarian challenger Szilveszter “නිහඬ ඝාතකයා” Kanalas in the opening round to capture the vacant International Boxing Association (IBA) Flyweight World Championship in only his fifth professional fight, Mulvane දී කැන්සාස් ස්ටාර් Arena දී, කැන්සාස්.
In the first world title fight ever held in Kansas, Hernandez (5-0, 4 Kos) overwhelmed Kanalas (14-7, 9 Kos), the former World Boxing Federation (WBF) super flyweight world champion, to become the youngest (22) IBA world champion ever, as well as setting the record for the fewest pro fights needied to become IBA world titlist.
SUPERBOX LIVE: High Stakes was launched as Super Channel’s new live boxing series,SUPERBOX LIVE, සමග සම්බන්ධවී KO Night Boxing LLC, and it aired live exclusively in Canada on Super Channel.
Integrated Sports Media distributed “SUPERBOX LIVE: High Stakes” in the United States on cable, satellite and digital pay-per-view as it was live-streamed worldwide on FITE.TV app and website (excluding Canada).
Hernandez was aggressive from the opening bell, pounding Kanalas’ head and body. A Hernandez left hook to the body really hurt Kanalas, who went down from a right that followed the vicious liver shot. Kanalas beat Hall of Fame Steve Smoger‘s count, and it was only a matter of time before Hernandez would end the fight. It came soon, right after another body-and-head combination put the over-matched Hungarian on the mat for the second and final time.
“A lot of people underestimate my power,” Hernandez said after the fight. “I believe that once he felt my power, I don’t think he wanted it anymore. I felt like I took his heart away. I was patient, I wanted it to go a few rounds to see what he had, but I took his heart away. I can’t really be disappointed because I am a world champion now.”
“Nico was explosive Saturday night and he showed killer instinct,” අනුග්රාහකයෙකු John Andersen අදහස්. “He was going to box, but I think he smelled fear, and Nico got into Kanalas’ head. He sensed it and jumped on him.”
Before he left the ring, Hernandez took the microphone in the center of the ring and called out three-time Olympian and two-time Olympic bronze medalist, “අයර්ලන්ත” Paddy Barnes (5-0, 1 KO), who was the favored to win a gold medal in the flyweight division at the 2016 ඔලිම්පික් ක්රීඩා. He was eliminated in the round of 16 and Hernandez took home the bronze medal. “There’s a bronze medalist from (Northern) අයර්ලන්තය, Paddy Barnes, and that’s who I’d really love to fight.”
“I think that’s a fight we should start a conversation about,” Andersen remarked. “It’s not line Barnes is 21 (ඔහු තමයි 31) and I don’t know of a lot of 30 or older flyweights. It makes a lot of sense and can be a big fight. They’re both Olympic bronze medalist, already fought in scheduled 10 හා 12 වටයේ සටන්, and have belts. (Barnes is the WBO Intercontinental flyweight champ). Nico needs to step up in terms of competition, ද. I think they should get in the ring and then we can see what happens.
“If they don’t want to make this fight right away, maybe we can build it up by putting them on the same card, and then fight next year. This fight makes a lot of sense for both fighters and Nico has already said he wants to fight Barnes.”
Hernandez joined reigning IBA world champions, ආලෝකය හෙවිවේට් සර්ජි Kovalev and junior middleweight Mark DeLuca, as well as past IBA world champions such as Hall of Famers ඔස්කාර් ඩි ලා Hoya, ජෝර්ජ් වැඩ මූලික, රොබර්ටෝ ඩුරන් හා ආටූරෝ Gatti, in addition to starsරෝයි ජෝන්ස්, කනිෂ්ඨ, බර්නාඩ් හොප්කින්ස්, ෂේන් Mosely, ජේම්ස් Toney, Mikkel Kessler, Eric Morales, දියේගෝ Corrales, ජෝස් ලුයිස් Castillo, ග්ලෙන් ජොන්සන් හා ඇන්ටෝනියෝ Tarver.
2011 Russia Junior Championships gold medalist Andrey Afonin (6-0, 3 Kos) kept his undefeated record in tact when Pedro “El Reguilete” රොඩ්රිගස් (23-4, 19 Kos), the Cuban native and former World Boxing Association (WBA) Fedalatin cruiserweight champion, was unable to answer the bell in the third round of the co-featured event.
