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

 

 

 

In the first world title fight ever held in Kansas, Hernandez (5-0, 4 KO) overwhelmed Kanalas (14-7, 9 KO), 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, în asociere cu 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 aplicație și site-ul web (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,” promotor John Andersen comentat. “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, “Irlandez” Paddy Barnes (5-0, 1 KO), who was the favored to win a gold medal in the flyweight division at the 2016 Jocurile Olimpice. He was eliminated in the round of 16 and Hernandez took home the bronze medal. “There’s a bronze medalist from (Northern) Irlanda, 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 (e 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 și 12 round fights, and have belts. (Barnes is the WBO Intercontinental flyweight champ). Nico needs to step up in terms of competition, prea. 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, grea lumină Sergey Kovalev and junior middleweight Mark DeLuca, as well as past IBA world champions such as Hall of Famers Oscar de la Hoya, George Foreman, Roberto Duran și Arturo Gatti, in addition to starsRoy Jones, Jr., Bernard Hopkins, Shane Mosely, James Toney, Mikkel Kessler, Eric Morales, Diego Corrales, Jose Luis Castillo, Glen Johnson și Antonio Tarver.

 

 

 

2011 Russia Junior Championships gold medalist Andrey Afonin (6-0, 3 KO) kept his undefeated record in tact when Pedro “El Reguilete” Rodriguez (23-4, 19 KO), 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 KO), promoted by DiBella Entertainment and fighting out of Toronto, oprit Terrance “Big Jim” Marbra (9-6, 7 KO) în al doilea tur.

 

 

 

Undefeated Washington featherweight Victor Morales, Jr. (9-0, 5 KO) was too much forDavid Berna (15-4, 14 KO), of Hungary, who complained of an elbow injury and lost by way of a second-round technical knockout, în deschidere televizat.

 

 

 

In the television swing bout, which was held prior to the main event, popular Wichita junior welterweight Jeff Strum (3-0, 2 KO) kept the train rollin’ with 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 KO) won a four-round unanimous decision over Kansas City, KS favorite Chris Harris (2-3-2, 2 KO).

“Josh had a breakout year in 2017,” O’Reilly’s promoter Tyler Buxton comentat. “He came into the year with only one knockout in seven fights. În 2017, after moving up in weight and competition, he stopped all three opponents. Josh proved he’s one of the top lightweights in Canada and, în 2018, we’re looking to prove he’s the best in the country.”

Lasă un comentariu

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

Lasă un comentariu
“KO Noapte Box: Aur & Glorie” pentru
vacant IBA Americas flyweight title
Decembrie. 2 la Hartman Arena în Park City, KS
PARK CITY, Kansas (Noiembrie 20, 2017) – USA Olympian and hometown hero Nico Hernandez and Hungarian flyweight champion Jozsef “Micul roșu” 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, Sâmbătă noapte, Decembrie 2, pe “KO Noapte Box: Aur & Glorie” card, la Hartman Arena în Park City, Kansas.
“KO Noapte Box: Aur & Glorie” este o prezentare a KO noapte box LLC., în asociere cu Hartman Arena, și sponsorizat parțial de Twister orașului Harley-Davidson Metro PCS, Mort’s Cigar Bar șiJimmy’s Egg.
Acțiunea va fi inregistrata in direct pentru aerisire viitor pe CBS Sports Network.
The 21-year-old Hernandez (3-0, 2 KO), lupta din Wichita, was a decorated amateur boxer who compiled a sterling 123-12 record, highlighted by his bronze-medal winning performance at the 2016 Jocurile Olimpice din Brazilia. 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, totuși, will be his first title fight, coming in only his fourth pro bout.
Ajtai, care este de un an și șase zile mai mic decât Hernandez, made his professional debut 2 ½ years ago, 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, in speranta, back here at home to help us continue building Wichita into a fight town.”
Ajtai (19-9, 12 KO) has already had 28 lupte pro, 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 Zou Shiming, fostul Organizației Mondiale de box (WBO) muscă campion mondial. The Hungarian has fought at home in Hungary, as well as on the road in the United Kingdom, Spania, Germania, Ucraina și Slovacia. 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.
“Aceasta este o mare oportunitate pentru mine. 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. și, like I’ve said, I don’t plan on this fight going the distance.”
Ajtai, desigur, isn’t traveling all the way to Kansas to visit Dorothy or the Wizard of Oz, el vine să câștige!
“Nico nu va ști unde voi fi în ring,” Ajtai a prezis. “Când se uită la stânga pentru mine, Voi merge la dreapta; când el încearcă să mă găsească pe dreapta, Voi fi pe stânga. Când el vrea să se odihnească, Voi veni înainte de stantare; atunci când vrea să lovi cu pumnul, el nu mă va găsi.
“Am un plan pentru această luptă și eu sunt sigur că el face la fel de bine. Dar, în inelul, doar un singur plan de luptător poate avea succes. Va fi o luptă bună, dar nu pot promite publicului că Nico va fi câștigătorul.”
The full “Aur & Glorie” card will be announced later this week. Toate luptele și luptători sunt supuse schimbării.

PARK CITY, KANSAS (Octombrie 23, 2017) – 2016 medaliat cu bronz olimpic Nico Hernandez will be fighting for his first professional title on Sâmbătă, Decembrie 2, when he takes on Hungarian invaderJozsef “Micul roșu” Ajtai in the eight-round main event for the vacant International Boxing Association (IBA) Flyweight Championship, cap de afis “KO Noapte Box: Aur & Glorie” la Hartman Arena în Park City, Kansas.

“KO Noapte Box: Aur & Glorie” este o prezentare a KO noapte box LLC., în asociere cu Hartman Arena, și sponsorizat parțial de Twister orașului Harley-Davidson Metro PCS, Mort’s Cigar Bar și Jimmy Egg.

Acțiunea va fi inregistrata in direct pentru aerisire viitor pe CBS Sports Network.
The 21-year-old Hernandez (3-0, 2 KO), lupta din Wichita, will be fighting in a scheduled eight-round bout for the first time. His three pro fights to date were all scheduled for six rounds and each was held in Kansas, the last two in his second home, Hartman Arena.
In his last fight this past September 23rd, Hernandez was forced to fight late replacement Kendrick “Uprising” Latchman who outweighed the celebrated American Olympian by more than 10 de lire sterline. Hernandez won a six-round unanimous decision by scores of 60-54 și 59-55 de două ori.
Despite being younger than Hernandez by almost a year to the day, Ajtai (19-9, 12 KO) has already had 28 lupte pro, including a full 10-round distance loss by decision last year to two-time Olympic gold medalist Zou Shiming, fostul Organizației Mondiale de box (WBO) muscă campion mondial.
“By far, Nico is fighting the toughest opponent of his pro career,” Hernandez’ promotor John Andersen (“KO Night Boxing LLC) a spus. “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 de lire sterline.
“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. In the flyweight division, 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 adăugat. “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. His amateur pedigree speaks for itself and we’re very happy to have this young man fighting for the IBA Americas title.”
IBA world champions during the past quarter-century include Hall-of-Famers Oscar de la Hoya,George Foreman, Roberto Duran și Arturo Gatti, as well as stars such as Roy Jones, Jr.,Bernard Hopkins, Shane Mosely, James Toney, Mikkel Kessler, Eric Morales, Diego Corrales, Jose Luis Castillo, Glen Johnson și Antonio Tarver.
Other fights on the “Aur & Glorie” card will soon be announced. Toate luptele și luptători sunt supuse schimbării.
