MULVANE, Mai. (Mai 21, 2018)History was made this past Saturday night on theSUPERBOX LIVE: High Stakespay-per-view card, wann 2016 Olympic bronze medalist and local hero, Nico Hernandez, knocked out Hungarian challenger Szilveszter “Die Silent Assassin” Kanalas in the opening round to capture the vacant International Boxing Association (IBA) Flyweight World Championship in only his fifth professional fight, an der Kansas-Sterne-Arena in Mulvane, Kansas.

 

 

 

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, in Assoziation mit KO Night Boxing LLC, and it aired live exclusively in Canada on Super Channel.

 

 

 

Integrated Sports Media distributedSUPERBOX LIVE: High Stakes” in den Vereinigten Staaten auf Kabel, satellite and digital pay-per-view as it was live-streamed worldwide on FITE.TV App und Website (ohne Kanada).

 

 

 

Hernandez was aggressive from the opening bell, pounding Kanalashead 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,” Promoter John Andersen kommentiert. “He was going to box, but I think he smelled fear, and Nico got into Kanalas’ Kopf. 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, “Irisch” Paddy Barnes (5-0, 1 KO), who was the favored to win a gold medal in the flyweight division at the 2016 Olympiade. He was eliminated in the round of 16 and Hernandez took home the bronze medal. “There’s a bronze medalist from (Northern) Irland, 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 (er ist 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 und 12 Runde kämpft, and have belts. (Barnes is the WBO Intercontinental flyweight champ). Nico needs to step up in terms of competition, zu. 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, Halbschwergewicht Sergey Kovalev und Junior-Mittel Mark DeLuca, as well as past IBA world champions such as Hall of Famers Oscar de la Hoya, George Foreman, Roberto Duran und Arturo Gatti, in addition to starsRoy Jones, Jr., Bernard Hopkins, Shane Mosley, James Toney, Mikkel Kessler, Eric Morales, Diego Corrales, Jose Luis Castillo, Glen Johnson und Antonio Tarver.

 

 

 

2011 Russia Junior Championships gold medalist Andrey Afonin (6-0, 3 KOs) kept his undefeated record in tact when PedroEl Reguilete” Rodriguez (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.

 

 

 

Unbeaten Ukrainian heavyweight Oleksandr Teslenko (13-0, 11 KOs), promoted by DiBella Entertainment and fighting out of Toronto, gestoppt TerranceBig Jim” Marmor (9-6, 7 KOs) in der zweiten Runde.

 

 

 

Undefeated Washington featherweight Victor Morales, Jr. (9-0, 5 KOs) was too much forDavid Bern (15-4, 14 KOs), von Ungarn, who complained of an elbow injury and lost by way of a second-round technical knockout, in the televised opener.

 

 

 

In the television swing bout, which was held prior to the main event, popular Wichita junior welterweight Jeff Strum (3-0, 2 KOs) kept the train rollinwith a second-round knockout of Nigeria-native Archie Weah (2-11).

 

 

 

In the most competitive fight of the night, as well as the lone match that went the complete distance, St. Louis cruiserweight Leroy Jones (3-3, 2 KOs) won a four-round unanimous decision over Kansas City, KS favorite Chris Harris (2-3-2, 2 KOs).

Olympic medalist Nico Hernandez injured, “KO Night Boxing: Gold & Herrlichkeit” verschoben

Februar. 10 bei Hartman Arena in Park City, KS
PARK CITY, Kansas (November 27, 2017) – Due to an injury suffered by 2016 Olympischer Bronzemedaillengewinner Nico Hernandez last week at training camp, an diesem Samstag Nacht “KO Night Boxing: Gold & Herrlichkeit” Karte, presented by KO Night Boxing LLC, has been postponed until Februar 10, am selben Ort, Hartman Arena in Park City, Kansas.

The promoter plans to keep the card intact, as much as possible, and he is hopeful that Ajtai is available to challenge Hernandez for the IBA Americas title.
Injuries are an unfortunate part of boxing, but the good news is that Nico will be 100-percent ready to go February 10th,” Promoter John Andersen sagte,. “I know that Nico feels that he’s letting everybody down but, am Ende des Tages, all that really counts is his health. He’s a tough kid who has his entire pro career ahead of him.
Over the last six months, Nico has become like family to the Hartman Arena staff,” said Hartman Arena Executive Director, Ben Bolander. “We wish the best for him and hope for a speedy recovery, so we can see him back here in February fighting for the title.

2016 Olympic bronze medalist Nico Hernandez & Hungarian champion Jozsef Ajtai have taken different paths into pro ranks

“KO Night Boxing: Gold & Herrlichkeit” für
vacant IBA Americas flyweight title
Dezember. 2 bei Hartman Arena in Park City, KS
PARK CITY, Kansas (November 20, 2017) – USA Olympian and hometown hero Nico Hernandez and Hungarian flyweight champion Jozsef “Bisschen rot” Ajtai took completely different paths into the professional ranks.
Hernandez vs., Ajtai is the eight-round main event for the vacant International Boxing Association (IBA) Americas flyweight title fight, Samstag Nacht, Dezember 2, am “KO Night Boxing: Gold & Herrlichkeit” Karte, bei Hartman Arena in Park City, Kansas.
“KO Night Boxing: Gold & Herrlichkeit” ist eine Präsentation von KO Night Boxing LLC., in Verbindung mit Hartman Arena, und teilweise gefördert durch Twister Stadt Harley-Davidson Metro pcs, Mort’s Cigar Bar undJimmy’s Egg.
Die Aktion wird auf CBS Sports Network für zukünftige Ausstrahlung aufgezeichnet werden Live.
The 21-year-old Hernandez (3-0, 2 KOs), aus Wichita kämpfen, was a decorated amateur boxer who compiled a sterling 123-12 Rekord, highlighted by his bronze-medal winning performance at the 2016 Olympischen Spiele in Brasilien. Hernandez made his pro debut last March. All his fights have been at home, each has been in the main event, and on national television. His fight against Ajtai, jedoch, will be his first title fight, coming in only his fourth pro bout.
Ajtai, die ein Jahr und sechs Tage jünger als Hernandez, made his professional debut 2 ½ Jahren, and he’s already fought in five title fights.
Hernandez’ amateur pedigree versus Ajtai’s pro experience?
I feel like I’m already at the level of a lot of top pro fighters,” Hernandez said. The only advantage he has is he’s used to fighting more rounds than I (this is Nico’s first scheduled 8-rounder), but I don’t plan on letting it go the distance anyways.
I feel blessed to have this IBA title fight opportunity so early in my pro career. It honestly couldn’t come any faster. I do believe it will be special and open a tot of opportunities to fight bigger names once I win this fight. A win should open-up additional title fight opportunities, both overseas and, hoffnungsvoll, back here at home to help us continue building Wichita into a fight town.
Ajtai (19-9, 12 KOs) has already had 28 Profi Kämpfe, including a full 10-round distance loss by decision last year at Madison Square Garden in New York City to two-time Olympic gold medalist Shiming Zou, der ehemalige World Boxing Organization (WBO-) Fliegengewicht Weltmeister. The Hungarian has fought at home in Hungary, as well as on the road in the United Kingdom, Spanien, Deutschland, Ukraine und die Slowakei. A trip to America’s heartland doesn’t faze him in the least.
He will be at home, where everybody wants to fight, but this isn’t a problem for me,” Ajtai explained. “I know he is a good boxer, but I will try to be a bit better December 2nd. When my condition is good, as it is for this fight, nobody likes to fight me.
“Dies ist eine große Gelegenheit für mich,. It’s always difficult to beat a good fighter but doing so is real success. Fighting Shiming Zou in only my fourth fight was very nice for me. I want that feeling again in this fight against Nico.
Hernandez realizes that this fight could be his last at home for a while, due to the lack of quality American flyweights, and that most world-class fighters in his weight class are from Central America, Thailand and Japan.
I don’t think I’ll have many more fights at home,” Hernandez admits. “I don’t think that will matter too much because I feel more pressure fighting at home than elsewhere. I will miss everyone cheering my name like they do at home. I think I’ll be traveling more to fight bigger names to work my way up the ladder until I’m at the top.
I think the early rounds in this fight (vs. Ajtai) will be a chess match because, from what I’ve seen, he runs a lot. I feel that once I start landing my body shots, he’ll slowdown in the latter rounds. und, like I’ve said, I don’t plan on this fight going the distance.
Ajtai, natürlich, isn’t traveling all the way to Kansas to visit Dorothy or the Wizard of Oz, er kommt, um zu gewinnen!
“Nico wird nicht wissen, wo ich im Ring sein wird,,” Ajtai vorhergesagt. “Als er sieht für mich nach links, Ich werde nach rechts gehen; wenn er versucht, mich auf der rechten Seite zu finden, Ich werde auf der linken Seite. Wenn er will, um sich auszuruhen, Ich werde nach vorne kommen, Lochen; wenn er will stanzen, er wird mich nicht finden.
“Ich habe einen Plan für diesen Kampf und ich bin sicher, er tut auch. Aber, im Ring, nur ein Kämpfer Plan gelingen kann. Es wird ein guter Kampf werden, aber ich kann die Öffentlichkeit nicht versprechen, dass Nico wird der Sieger sein.”
Das volle “Gold & Herrlichkeit” card will be announced later this week. Alle Kämpfe und Kämpfer sind Änderungen vorbehalten.

By far, Nico is fighting the toughest opponent of his pro career,” Hernandez’ Promoter John Andersen (“KO Night Boxing LLC) sagte,. “Ajtai has much more experience as a pro than Nico, plus he went the distance against a two-time Olympic gold medalist, Zou. Ajtai is a busy fighter with a good knockout ratio (63%). This fight is going to tell us a lot about Nico, especially his power at 112 Pfund.
Nico fighting for a title in only his fourth pro fight proves that all our hard efforts of KO Night Boxing and Team Nico has paid off quickly and we’re grateful that the IBA has given him this great opportunity. I didn’t realize the high quality of champions the IBA has had in the past and we’re proud that Nico can someday join this group. Im Fliegengewicht, Nico may enter world title fight shot discussions earlier than I had originally thought, which was in his third year as a pro. An impressive performance against Ajtai could position him for a world title fight next year with less than 10 fights under his belt.
We’re excited to have an American Olympian fighting for our first Americas title,” IBA PresidentJ.C. Courreges zusätzlich. “Nico Hernandez is an Olympic bronze medalist and we’re hopeful that he will develop into an IBA world champion in the not too distant future.
