Olympic bronze medalist Nico Hernandez Riding on the fast track

Пакінуць каментар

 


Лас-Вегасе (Чэрвеня 26, 2017) — Fresh off his sensational stoppage of previously undefeated Хасэ “Mexican Diablo” Радрыгес, 2016 Бронзавы прызёр Алімпійскіх гульняў Ніка Hernandez is riding the fast track to stardom on an exciting journey that’s just really started.
In the June 17й “KO Night бокса: Rapid Fire” галоўная падзея, which aired live on CBS Sports Network from Hartman Arena in Park City, Канзас, Hernandez improved his record to 2-0 (2 КО), dropping Rodriguez three times and closing the show in the third round..
The 21-year-old Hernandez, змагаюцца Вічыта, 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 17й барацьба. “I’ve fought the best at the Olympics, so I wasn’t worried about what he (Радрыгес) ён зрабіў. 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 (Іншы) Падапечны і (Васіль) Ламанчанка have done…become world champion!”
The highest-rated flyweight in the world today is 36-year-old Brian Viloria (37-5, 22 КО), the 4-time, 2-division world champion and 2000 U.S. Алімпіец. Considering his advanced age for a boxer, the “Hawaian Punch” will probably be retired by the time Hernandez is ready for a world title shot, leaving Oscar Cantu і Miguel Cartagena as the only American featherweights currently rated among the top 25 у свеце.
“Nico was great in his last fight and everybody is seeing what we want to do with him,” Hernadez’ прамоўтэр John Andersen (KO Night бокса) адзначыў. “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, прама зараз, is led by a pair of stars, Kazuto Ioka, of 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 КО), knocking him down for the third time and final time as referee Kevin Champion counted him out at 2:38.
“I came out with a victory, it can’t get better than that,” Hernandez said after the fight. “I put him down a few times. I was happy with my performance. I was trying to get out of her to celebrate with my family and friends.

“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.”

PARK CITY, Канзас (Чэрвеня 1, 2017) – Wichita-native Ніка Hernandez (1-0, 1 KO), a 2016 Бронзавы прызёр Алімпійскіх гульняў, is on a mission to establish his home as a real “fight town” like world champion Terence Crawford has done in Omaha, Небраска.
The 21-year-old Hernandez returns to action Субота, Чэрвеня 17, in the six-round main event against Mexican-born flyweight opponent Jose Rodriguez (2-0, 2 КО), хэдлайнерамі “KO Night бокса: Rapid Fire”, which will air (10 p.m. І / 7 p.m. PT) on CBS Sports Network live from Hartman Arena in Park City, Канзас.

Hernandez drew nearly 3,200 fans for his professional debut, Сакавіка 25, in nearby Mulvane (Канзас), in which he knocked out Patrick Gutierrez in the fourth round of the main event, which was also televised live on CBS Sports Network.
Эрнандэс’ прамоўтэр, KO Night бокса, ТАА, 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,” прамоўтэр John Andersen сказаў. “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.”

Hernandez drew nearly 3,200 fans for his professional debut, Сакавіка 25, in nearby Mulvane (Канзас), in which the 21-year-old future star stopped Patrick Gutierrez in the fourth round of the main event, 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. Трэнер 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. Зараз, he has a pair of first-round knockouts, the last this past September against Richard Tallmadge, who was coached by Nate Jones, Па іроніі лёсу, also an American Olympic bronze-medal winner in 1996.
Радрыгес, 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, ад пачатку да канца, 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. Я збіраюся скончыць яго!”
Unbeaten Canadian featherweight Марк “Gwapo” Pagcaliwangan (10-0-1, 8 КО) takes on Mexican invader Angel “Жудасны” Monrreal (9-8-1, 3 КО) in the eight-round co-feature.

The 21-year-old Hernandez displayed tremendous poise and a few tweaks to his amateur style, adding a devastating body attack, in addition to effectively switching from his orthodox stance to southpaw at times.

“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,” пракаментаваў John Andersen, who promotes Hernandez as well as the June 17й паказаць. “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 людзі, 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.”
Эрнандэс’ 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 за гэтую барацьбу. 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, Радрыгес (2-0, 2 КО) 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 Флойд Мэйвезер, Малодшы., Stevie Johnston і Дыега Корралес certainly aids his fighter. Manfredy (43-8-1, 32 КО) had statement victories over Артура Гаці, Julio Diaz і Ivan Robinson, сярод больш шляхты.
