Nico had to step up, fighting a new opponent on 24-hour notice, along with the difference in their weights,” Promoter John Andersen kommentiert. “Everything turned out okay but it wasn’t an easy fight. My palms were a little sweaty in the first round when he got hit hard, but Nico pulled out the win and he’ll be an even better fighter because of this experience. His father said Nico had never been hit like that before. It was a good card and the crowed was really into it.

Hernandez drew nearly 3,200 fans for his professional debut, März 25, in nearby Mulvane (KS), 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. Trainer Eddie Haynes gave Rodriguez an opportunity to join Team Certified, which includes former world title challenger Angel Manfredy, who also works Rodriguez’ Ecke.
After a brief yet undefeated amateur career, highlighted by Rodriguezgold-medal performance in the in the Milwaukee Golden Gloves Championships, Jose turned pro last July in Milwaukee against Nicholas Brand. Jetzt, he has a pair of first-round knockouts, the last this past September against Richard Tallmadge, who was coached by Nate Jones, ironisch, also an American Olympic bronze-medal winner in 1996.
Rodriguez, 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, von Anfang bis Ende, 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. Ich werde ihn zu erledigen!”

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.
“KO Night Boxing: Rapid Fireis a presentation of KO Night Boxing LLC.
Gutierrez was the perfect opponent for Nico’s pro debut,” kommentiert John Andersen, who promotes Hernandez as well as the June 17th Show. “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 Menschen, 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.
Hernandez’ 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,” er erklärte, “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 opponentsbody and then, in later rounds, go back to boxing. He fought at 115-pounds but he’ll be back to 112 für diesen Kampf. 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, Rodriguez (2-0, 2 KOs) 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 Floyd Mayweather, Jr., Stevie Johnston und Diego Corrales certainly aids his fighter. Manfredy (43-8-1, 32 KOs) had statement victories over Arturo Gatti, Julio Diaz und Ivan Robinson, unter den mehr Honoratioren.
Zusätzlich “KO Night Boxing: Rapid Fire” Kämpfe werden in Kürze bekannt gegeben. Alle Kämpfe und Kämpfer sind Änderungen vorbehalten.

Standbildpräsentation an diesem Samstag Nacht auf CBSSN

WICHITA, Kansas (März 31, 2017) – Letzten Samstagabend in der Kansas Star Arena im nahe gelegenen Mulvane, 2016 Olympischer Bronzemedaillengewinner Nico Hernandez pflanzte einen Samen in der Hoffnung, Wichita zu einer Kampfstadt zu machen, als Weltmeister Terence Crawford und Deontay Wilder haben bereits in den jeweiligen Heimatstädten erreicht, Omaha (NE) und Birmingham (AL).
Mehr als 3,100 Fans kauften Tickets Hernandez’ erfolgreich professionelles Debüt, Einstellung Pat Gutierrez in der vierten Runde. Um diese Besucherzahl in die richtige Perspektive zu rücken, Wichita hat eine Bevölkerung von weniger als 400,000 und in diesem verrückten Zustand, die entsprechend benannten “KO Night Boxing: Die Geschichte beginnt” Das beliebte Quintett von Kansas Jayhawks spielte im nationalen Fernsehen in der Elite Eight der NCAA College-Basketball-Meisterschaft, sowie The Wichita Force, die zu Hause im Hallenfußball spielt.
Der 21-jährige Hernandez ist praktisch ein Sport-Franchise-Unternehmen in Wichita, an zweiter Stelle nach der Wichita State University (WSU) Herren-Basketballmannschaft. Die Stadt trat bei einer Parade zu Ehren von Hernandez nach seiner Rückkehr von den Olympischen Spielen in Kraft, und die WSU verlieh ihm ein unbefristetes vierjähriges College-Stipendium.
“KO Night Boxing: Die Geschichte beginnt” Standbildpräsentation an diesem Samstag Nacht
Die Zugabe Präsentation vom letzten Samstag “KO Night Boxing: Die Geschichte beginnt,” mit dem Pro-Debüt von 2016 Olympischer Bronzemedaillengewinner Nico Hernandez, wird Luft an diesem Samstag (April 1), ab 8:30 p.m. UND, auf CBS Sports Network.
“Die Show war ein großer Erfolg und Nico, als Profi-Kämpfer, produzierte ein vollständigeres Werk als wir erwartet hatten,” Hernandez’ Promoter John Andersen (KO Night Boxing) sagte,. “Ich war sehr beeindruckt. Sein Amateur-Hintergrund verwandelte sich in einen noch besseren Pro-Stil. Es hat wirklich sein Potenzial gezeigt und das ist einer der Hauptgründe, warum wir ihn unter Vertrag genommen haben. Wir haben wirklich an Nico geglaubt. Er ist der einzige Kämpfer, den wir unterschrieben haben, right now; Nico ist unser Stall! Wir sehen die Dinge aus einem anderen Blickwinkel als große Promotoren. Wir haben verstanden, dass er ein Held aus seiner Heimatstadt ist, Also hatten wir ihn zu Hause als Headliner bei seinem Pro-Debüt im nationalen Fernsehen (CBS Sports Network). Wir produzieren unsere Shows im Fernsehen und erzählen gerne Geschichten wie die von Nico. Wir möchten gleich wieder nach Wichita zurückkehren, wenn Nico im Juni kämpft.”
Lebenslanges Kansas Sean Wheelock, ein nicht bezahltes Mitglied der Kansas Athletic Commission, das das Boxen überwacht, Zusätzlich zu den Kämpfen am vergangenen Samstag als Mitglied des Ankündigungsteams von KO Night Boxing im CBS Sports Network, hat eine einzigartige Perspektive auf die Bedeutung des letzten Samstagabends für die lokale Boxgeschichte.
“Es war riesig für Kansas Boxen,” Wheelock erklärte, “die größte Show in diesem Zustand seit dem Tommy Morrison Epoche (Anfang bis Mitte der 90er Jahre). Morrison war ein Adoptivsohn, obwohl. Nico wurde hier geboren und hat eine tiefe Investition in die Wichita-Gemeinde. Zeichnung über 3000 für sein Pro-Debüt, in einem Nicht-Box-Markt, war phänomenal und er hat das Potenzial, das zu tun, was Crawford in Omaha und Wilder in Birmingham getan hat. Boxen hat starke Wurzeln in Kansas und im Mittleren Westen, aber MMA hat übernommen und in letzter Zeit, Das meiste Boxen in Kansas war in Hybridshows mit MMA und Kickboxen.
“Die Fans sangen laut, „Nico’ und „316’ (Wichitas Vorwahl) vor, während und nach seinem Kampf. Ich habe noch nie Fans gehört, die für eine Stadt so gesungen haben wie sie, "Wichita", für einen einzelnen Sportler. Und sie sangen auch "USA". Als gebürtiger Kansas, Ich bin stolz darauf, dass dieser Staat ethnisch und kulturell vielfältiger geworden ist und mehr Hispanics in Wichita leben. Nico engagiert sich in der hispanischen Gemeinschaft und ist ein fantastisches Kind, zu. Wegen seiner Persönlichkeit und seines Kampfstils, Er kann vor Ort aus Wichita zeichnen, in ganz Kansas, und national unter Hispanics und Amerikanern im ganzen Land wegen seiner Leistung bei den Olympischen Spielen.”
Hernandez kämpft auch in einer der heißesten Divisionen im Boxen — 115-Pfund Junior Bantamgewicht / Super Fliegengewicht — Präsentation von Namenskämpfern wie Naoya Inoue, Roman Gonzalez, Carlos Blocks, Juan Francisco Estrada und kürzlich hinzugefügt Srisaket Sor Rungvisai. Auffällig abwesend, jedoch, sind top 20 rangierte amerikanische Kämpfer in dieser Gewichtsklasse, ohne 36-jährige Brian Viloria, das viermal, Zwei-Teilung (Junior Fliegengewicht und Fliegengewicht) Weltmeister. Hernandez hat die Gelegenheit, sich schnell als herausragender amerikanischer Boxer in dieser Gewichtsklasse zu etablieren.
“Es gibt keinen Grund für Nico, ein paar Jahre außerhalb von Wichita zu kämpfen, während er sich entwickelt,” Andersen bemerkte. “Ich habe das Gefühl, dass er nächstes Jahr einen regionalen Titel gewinnen kann. Unser Ziel ist es, ihn in einer Weltmeistertitel-Kampfposition zu haben innerhalb von drei Jahren. Unser Ziel ist es, ihn zu bekommen 13 bis 15 kämpft und fördert dann einen Superkampf in Wichita. Er begann in einem Sechs-Runden-Kampf. Ich denke, er wird nur noch ein paar haben und dann bis zu Acht-Runden-Kämpfen aufsteigen.
“Nico verschwendet nicht viele Schläge, Die Anzahl der geplanten Runden ist für ihn also kein Problem. Ein anderer Kämpfer hätte sich in zwei Runden geschlagen, Zu Hause vor einer Menschenmenge kämpfen, als hätte er ihn unterstützt, aber Nico zeigte enorme Ausgeglichenheit, Sich niederlassen und seine Schläge sehr gut zusammenfügen. Er hat Gutierrez nicht verfolgt, er schnitt effektiv den Ring ab, und sein mächtiger Körperangriff war etwas, was er als Amateur nicht getan hat. Wir wollten sehen, wie er auf Widerstand reagierte und er bestand diesen Test mit Bravour.”
Andersen bemerkte, dass seine Firma mehrere erfolgreiche Shows beworben hat, Der große Unterschied ist die Show vom letzten Wochenende, in der ein Weltklasse-Kämpfer in Hernandez zu sehen war. “Die Olympischen Spiele zu machen war eine große Sache für Nico,” Andersen fügte hinzu, “ob er medaillierte oder nicht. Nico ist für uns was Manny Pacquiao ist zu Top Rank, „Canelo’ Alvarez zu Golden Boy. Wir haben das Glück, mit einem Kämpfer wie Nico zu beginnen. Kämpfe in Wichita waren ein Risiko für alle, aber es zahlt sich bereits aus.
“Wir wissen, wer und was wir als Werbefirma sind. Nico ist unsere oberste Priorität, unser einziger Kämpfer im Moment, und jetzt haben wir eine großartige Gelegenheit, den Erfolg des letzten Wochenendes auszubauen. Wir geben Nico die Aufmerksamkeit, die er verdient, und er wird diese Situation ausnutzen. Und wir haben auch festgestellt, dass es auf diesem Markt einige andere talentierte Boxer gibt. Whit Hayden hat einen wunderbaren Job gemacht und sehr wettbewerbsfähige Kämpfe geführt. Das ist seine Geschichte, Er hat nie Blowouts. Whit ist einer der kenntnisreichsten Menschen, die ich im Boxen kenne. Er ist der perfekte Matchmaker, um Nicos Karriere zu leiten, zusammen mit Nicos Vater (Cheftrainer) Lewis Hernandez, mit wem wir in vielerlei Hinsicht eng zusammenarbeiten, in und aus dem Ring.”
