PARKE CITY, Mayo. (Pebrero 11, 2018) – U.S. Olympian and hometown favorite Nico Hernandez captured the vacant International Boxing Association (IBA) Americas flyweight title in his fourth professional fight, headlining last night’s “KO Night Boxing” Gold & himaya” card, sa Hartman Arena sa Park City, Kansas.
Gipresentar sa “KO Night Boxing LLC,” the card was taped live to be shown at a later date on CBS Sports Network. “KO Night Boxing” Gold & himaya” card, presented by KO Night Boxing LLC,
Ang 22-ka-tuig-ang panuigon Hernandez (4-0, 3 KOs) stopped last-minute replacement, game Victor “Ang Bull” Torres, sa ikalima nga round.
Hernandez’ orihinal nga kontra, Hungarian champion Joseph Ajtai (19-9, 12 KOs), never made it to Wichita due to a series of unfortunate circumstances. Ajtai lost one day in Frankfurt, Germany, after leaving his passport on the plane he took from Budapest. Once he landed in Chicago sa Miyerkules, he was tied up by a visa issue at U.S. Customs. He missed his connecting flight to Wichita and because of snowstorms that grounded numerous flights, including those to Wichita, Ajtai never made it out of O’Hare Airport, stranded there for several days.
The IBA granted a special exception for Hernandez to fight Torres, due to these unforeseen problems, with the agreement that Hernandez would next fight Ajtai for an IBA title.
“It was an electric night,” promoter John Andersen miingon. “Sa higayon nga pag-usab, Nico made the proper adjustment that can be credited to his amateur pedigree. In the amateurs, opponents often change at the last moment and Nico has overcome many obstacles during his boxing career. We’re going to give Josef another title shot against Nico in April or May. They have unfinished business together!
“I was very pleased with Nico’s performance. It’s the best I’ve seen him. He was unbelievable in every way, on point throughout the fight. We also want to give Torres credit for accepting the fight on such late notice.”
Hernandez came out fast from the start, battering Torres’ body with tremendous combinations, and he never let up. Torres absorbed punishment but remained upright, but IBA referee Steve Smoger halted the action in the fifth round for Torres’ kaluwasan.
“I’m not leaving this belt,” Hernandez commented at the post fight press conference as he handled his IBA Americas belt. “It’s going everywhere with me. I was looking forward to this fight and I’m ready to continue my success. This is the first (title belt) of many. I got what I worked hard for. I want to thank my coaches, all the work paid off, and now I have this (title belt).”
Sa co-bahin nga panghitabo, Minneapolis welterweight Javonte Starks (13-2, 7 KOs) and Mexican veteran Cesar Soriano (28-36-2, 17 KOs) fought to a six-round majority draw.
Bakersfield, CA pro-debuting Derrick Clayton upset Milwaukee junior welterweight Akeem Black (3-2, 1 KO), registering a second-round technical knockout.
Wichita middleweight Jeff Sturm (2-0, 1 KO) nagpabilin nga undefeated, stopping intrastate rival Brian Clements, sa Topeka, halfway through the opening round.
Another pro-debuting California fighter, junior welterweight Chazz Macias, needed only1:20 to knockout Omaha’s Corey Roberts.
Fighting for the first time in 5 ½ ka tuig, Washington D.C. heavyweight Maurice “Freight Train” Brerm (14-2-1, 10 KOs) took out 300-pounder Richard “silverback” Carmack (15-13-1, 12 KOs) sa round sa usa ka.

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

“KO Night Boxing: Gold & himaya” alang sa
vacant IBA Americas flyweight title
Dec. 2 sa Hartman Arena sa Park City, KS
PARKE CITY, Kansas (Nobyembre 20, 2017) – USA Olympian and hometown hero Nico Hernandez and Hungarian flyweight champion József “Gamay nga Pula nga” 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, Sabado sa gabii, Disyembre 2, sa ibabaw sa mga “KO Night Boxing: Gold & himaya” card, sa Hartman Arena sa Park City, Kansas.
“KO Night Boxing: Gold & himaya” mao ang usa ka presentasyon sa KO Night Boxing LLC., sa pagpakig-uban sa Hartman Arena, ug gipaluyohan sa bahin sa Twister City Harley-Davidson Metro PCS, Mort’s Cigar Bar ugJimmy’s Egg.
Ang aksyon nga gipapilit live alang sa umaabot nga airing sa CBS Sports Network.
The 21-year-old Hernandez (3-0, 2 KOs), away gikan sa Wichita, was a decorated amateur boxer who compiled a sterling 123-12 nga rekord, highlighted by his bronze-medal winning performance at the 2016 Olympic Games sa Brazil. 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, Apan, will be his first title fight, coming in only his fourth pro bout.
Ajtai, nga mao ang usa ka tuig ug unom ka adlaw manghod 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, unta, back here at home to help us continue building Wichita into a fight town.”
Ajtai (19-9, 12 KOs) has already had 28 pro away, 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, ang kanhi World Boxing Organization (WBO) flyweight world champion. The Hungarian has fought at home in Hungary, as well as on the road in the United Kingdom, Spain, Germany, Ukraine ug Slovakia. 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.
“Kini mao ang usa ka dako nga oportunidad alang kanako. 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. ug, like I’ve said, I don’t plan on this fight going the distance.”
Ajtai, siyempre, isn’t traveling all the way to Kansas to visit Dorothy or the Wizard of Oz, siya sa pag-abut aron sa pagdaug!
“Nico dili mahibalo kon asa ako sa sa singsing,” Ajtai gitagna. “Sa diha nga siya motan-aw sa wala alang kanako, ako moadto sa tuo; sa diha nga siya mosulay sa pagpangita kanako sa tuo, Ako mahimo nga sa wala. Sa diha nga siya gusto nga sa pahulay, ako moabut sa unahan punching; sa diha nga siya gusto nga sukmag, siya dili makakaplag kanako.
“Ako adunay usa ka plano alang sa away niini ug ako sigurado nga siya nagabuhat sa ingon man. Apan, sa singsing, usa lamang ka fighter sa plano mahimong molampos. Kini ni-adto sa mahimo nga usa ka maayo nga away, apan ako dili mosaad sa publiko nga Nico mahimong sa mga mananaog.”
ang bug-os nga “Gold & himaya” card will be announced later this week. Ang tanan nga mga away ug manggugubat sa mga subject sa kausaban.

PARKE CITY, KANSAS (Oktubre 23, 2017) – 2016 Olympic bronze medalist Nico Hernandez will be fighting for his first professional title on Sabado, Disyembre 2, when he takes on Hungarian invaderJózsef “Gamay nga Pula nga” Ajtai in the eight-round main event for the vacant International Boxing Association (IBA) Flyweight Championship, main event “KO Night Boxing: Gold & himaya” sa Hartman Arena sa Park City, Kansas.

“KO Night Boxing: Gold & himaya” mao ang usa ka presentasyon sa KO Night Boxing LLC., sa pagpakig-uban sa Hartman Arena, ug gipaluyohan sa bahin sa Twister City Harley-Davidson Metro PCS, Mort’s Cigar Bar ug Jimmy Egg.

Ang aksyon nga gipapilit live alang sa umaabot nga airing sa CBS Sports Network.
The 21-year-old Hernandez (3-0, 2 KOs), away gikan sa 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 libra. Hernandez won a six-round unanimous decision by scores of 60-54 ug 59-55 kaduha.
Despite being younger than Hernandez by almost a year to the day, Ajtai (19-9, 12 KOs) has already had 28 pro away, including a full 10-round distance loss by decision last year to two-time Olympic gold medalist Shiming Zou, ang kanhi World Boxing Organization (WBO) flyweight world champion.
“By far, Nico is fighting the toughest opponent of his pro career,” Hernandez’ promoter John Andersen (“KO Night Boxing LLC) miingon. “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 libra.
“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 dugang pa. “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 ug Arturo Gatti, as well as stars such as Roy Jones, Jr.,Bernard Hopkins, Shane Mosely, Santiago Toney, Mikkel Kessler, Eric Morales, Diego Corrales, Jose Luis Castillo, Glen Johnson ug Antonio Tarver.
