ניקו הרננדז for his third professional fight on יום שבת, ספטמבר 23, כִּתרוּת “אגרוף KO הלילה:
Step Up!” ב הרטמן ארנה בפארק סיטי, קנזס.
“אגרוף KO הלילה: Step Up!” הוא מצגת של LLC איגרוף לילה KO., בשיתוף עם הרטמן ארנה, Mort’s Cigar Bar and Jimmy Egg.
הרננדז יליד וויצ'יטה (2-0, 2 קוס) will face the stiffest test of his young pro career, Mexican flyweight פרנסיסקו “לוחם” Lapizco (8-5, 2 קוס), באירוע הראשי בן ששת הסיבובים.
“I’m very fortunate that my promoter, John Andersen(אגרוף KO הלילה), has worked hard to make my third pro fight at home,” הרננדז אמר. “I’m very excited to be able to show boxing at its best.
“My opponent has never been stopped. ברור, he has more professional experience than me, and I understand he likes putting pressure on his opponent. I want to be the first to stop this guy! I also want the boxing world to know I’m coming for belts. Champions should get ready for Nico Hernandez.”
בהופעת הבכורה המקצועית שלו במרץ 25ה, Hernandez knocked out פטריק גוטיירס בסיבוב הרביעי, and this past June 17ה at Hartman Arena, the 21-year-old U.S. Olympian stopped previously undefeated חוסה רודריגז in the third round of the main event.
Lapizco, 22, has already defeated an unbeaten opponent, סזאר Sustaita (3-0), three years ago at Ontario, קליפורניה. His last fight was this past January at home in Sinaloa, מקסיקו, in which Lapizco won a six-round unanimous decision over Jairo Miranda.
“This fight is a step up for Nico against a proven opponent who goes rounds,” Andersen noted. “He has already upset an undefeated fighter. It’s time for Nico to step up, as well as the city of Wichita, in terms of supporting him. This is a major event on September 23rd that will bring national attention, not only for Nico, but to Wichita.
“We have an opportunity to put Nico, all of Kansas, on the national map in boxing. We have a multi-fight deal to showcase Nico at Hartman Arena. After the September 23rd הצג, we’ll announce his final fight of 2017. We need people to turnout September 23rd at Hartman Arena to continue promoting Nico at home.”
