Olympian Nico Hernandez remains undefeated Tramaine Williams, Armando Alvarez & Zhilei Zhang victorious

ΓΙΑ ΑΜΕΣΗ ΔΗΜΟΣΙΕΥΣΗ
KO NIGHT BOXINGRESULTS FROM KANSAS
PALM CITY, Κάνσας (Σεπτέμβριος 24, 2017) – The name of last night’s “KO Νύχτα Πυγμαχία: Step Upevent certainly was appropriate as 2016 Χάλκινος Ολυμπιονίκης Nico Hernandez had to overcome a major obstacle to remain undefeated at Hartman Arena in Palm City, Κάνσας.
“KO Νύχτα Πυγμαχία: Step Up!” was a presentation of KO Night Boxing LLC., in association with Roc Nation Sports and Hartman Arena, sponsored by Mort’s Cigar Bar, Jimmy Egg and Twister City Harley-Davidson. The action was taped live for future airing on CBS Sports Network.
St. Louis southpaw Kendrick “Uprising” Latchman outweighed regular flyweight Hernandez by more than 10 pounds when the two fighters entered the ring because Hernandezscheduled opponent, Basyzbek Baratov (2-1-2), abruptly pulled out of the fight after the weigh in due to a contractual disagreement. Hernandez weighed in at 113 λίρες, Baratov was 112, which was the contracted weight. The Kansas Athletic Commission, ωστόσο, automatically allows one-pound over for all non-title fights. Baratov refused to fight but Latchman agreed to fight at a 125-pound catchweight. Hernandez gained four pounds and the fight was on.
Wichita hero Hernandez was unmoved by the late change, largely due to his standout amateur career, in which his opponents often changed at the last moment. Latchman (1-5-1, 1 KO) is a pro boxer-MMA hybrid fighter who is 6-3 (5 KOs) στο ΜΜΑ, including a 55-second stoppage of 14-7-1 Cody Land τον περασμένο Ιούλιο.
Latchman buzzed Hernandez in the first round, much to the chagrin of the Hernandezloud hometown crowd. The U.S. Olympian displayed a good chin and went on to win a six-round unanimous decision to improve his pro record to 3-0 (2 KOs).
They (his corner and fans) were nervous,” the 21-year-old Hernandez said after the fight, “αλλά δεν ήμουν. My coach (father Lewis Hernandez) told me to feint and go in, but I lunged a little too much. Γειά, I’m staying in my division (βαρύ βάρος) before moving up in weight.
Nico had to step up, fighting a new opponent on 24-hour notice, along with the difference in their weights,” υποστηρικτής John Andersen σχολίασε. “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.
KO Night Boxing LLC announced that Hernandez would return Δεκέμβριος 2 to headline another show at Hartman Arena.
USBA No. 2- rated featherweight Tramaine “The Might Midget” Williams (13-0, 5 KOs), fighting out of New Haven (CT), cruised to his 13ου victory without a defeat, taking a one-sided 10-round unanimous decision over Derrick Murray (13-3, 5 KOs), στη συν-επιλεγμένη εκδήλωση.
Key West, FL welterweight Armando “Ο Gentleman: Alvarez (17-0, 11 KOs) παρέμεινε αήττητος, winning a 10-round unanimous decision against Hungarian champion GaborSquirrelGorbics (23-8, 14 KOs) in a competitive Special Welterweight Attraction. Alvarez is the WBC Latino welterweight title holder.
Undefeated Chinese heavyweight prospect ZhileiBig Bang” Zhang (18-0, 14 KOs), the reigning WBO Oriental champion, χρειάζεται μόνο 2:28 to stop veteran Byron “Η αρκούδα” Polley(30-22-1, 13 KOs). Zhang, as well as Williams, are promoted by Roc Nation Sports.
In the most dramatic fight of the night, Los Angeles heavyweight Scott Alexander (13-2-2, 7 KOs) rebounded from being decked, as well as a pre-fight cut, to knockout 361-pound Richard “Silverback” Carmack (15-12-1, 12 KOs) στο δεύτερο γύρο. Alexander suffered a cut on his shin that resulted from a step breaking as he entered the ring.
Milwaukee junior middleweight Akeem Μαύρο (3-1, 1 KO) won three of four rounds on all three judgesscorecards for a four-round unanimous decision over Marcus Neal (2-2, 2 KOs).
Wichita light heavyweight Τζεφ Στρουμ pitched a shutout in his pro debut against Topeka’s (KS) previously unbeaten Chris Ortega (3-1-1), winning all four rounds in impressive fashion.

PARK CITY, Κάνσας (Αύγουστος 10, 2017) – KO Night Boxing LLC and Hartman Arena hosted a private media luncheon today to announce the return of 2016 Χάλκινος Ολυμπιονίκης Nico Hernandez for his third professional fight on Σάββατο, Σεπτέμβριος 23, headlining “KO Νύχτα Πυγμαχία: Step Up!” σε Hartman Arena στο Park City, Κάνσας.

Wichita-native Hernandez (2-0, 2 KOs) will face the stiffest test of his young pro career, Mexican flyweight Φρανσίσκο “Πολεμιστής” Lapizco (8-5, 2 KOs), in the six-round main event.
I’m very fortunate that my promoter, John Andersen(KO Νύχτα Πυγμαχία), has worked hard to make my third pro fight at home,” Hernandez said. “I’m very excited to be able to show boxing at its best.
My opponent has never been stopped. Προφανώς, he has more professional experience than me, and I understand he likes putting pressure on his opponent. I want to be the first to stop this guy! I also want the boxing world to know I’m coming for belts. Champions should get ready for Nico Hernandez.
In his professional debut on March 25ου, Hernandez knocked out Patrick Gutierrez στον τέταρτο γύρο, and this past June 17ου at Hartman Arena, the 21-year-old U.S. Olympian stopped previously undefeated Jose Rodriguez in the third round of the main event.
Lapizco, 22, has already defeated an unbeaten opponent, Cesar Sustaita (3-0), three years ago at Ontario, Καλιφόρνια. His last fight was this past January at home in Sinaloa, Μεξικό, in which Lapizco won a six-round unanimous decision over Jairo Miranda.
This fight is a step up for Nico against a proven opponent who goes rounds,” Andersen noted. “He has already upset an undefeated fighter. It’s time for Nico to step up, as well as the city of Wichita, in terms of supporting him. This is a major event on September 23RD that will bring national attention, not only for Nico, but to Wichita.
We have an opportunity to put Nico, all of Kansas, on the national map in boxing. We have a multi-fight deal to showcase Nico at Hartman Arena. After the September 23RD σόου, we’ll announce his final fight of 2017. We need people to turnout September 23RD at Hartman Arena to continue promoting Nico at home.

Nico Hernandez (Ε) battered Jose Rodriguez in a one-sided contest
The 21-year-old Hernandez (2-0, 2 KOs) came out fast, rapidly firing combinations that consistently landed to his opponent’s head and body. Hernandez was as electric in the ring as the sky outside, battering the over-matched Rodriguez, finally dropping him midway through the second round.
The extremely sharp Hernandez floored Rodriguez again in the third with a right-left combination but the tough Mexican rose again. The onslaught continued briefly as the Olympian pounded Rodriguez (2-1, 2 KOs), 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,” Ο Χερνάντεζ είπε μετά τον αγώνα. “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.

In the television opener, pro-debuting Kansas super middleweights Eddie Chavez (0-1), of Wichita, and Garden City’s Luis Fernando Juanez Jasso (1-0, 1 KO) went toe-to-toe from the opening bell until there was one minute left in the opening round, when Jasso suddenly dropped Chavez with a punishing right. Chavez beat the count but he was hurting. Jasso trapped Chavez on the ropes and unloaded seven unanswered punch until Chavez took a knee and referee Champion immediately stepped in to stop the fight.

PARK CITY, Κάνσας (Ιούνιος 1, 2017) – Wichita-native Nico Hernandez (1-0, 1 KO), ένα 2016 Χάλκινος Ολυμπιονίκης, is on a mission to establish his home as a realfight townlike world champion Terence Crawford has done in Omaha, Νεμπράσκα.
The 21-year-old Hernandez returns to action Σάββατο, Ιούνιος 17, in the six-round main event against Mexican-born flyweight opponent Jose Rodriguez (2-0, 2 KOs), headlining “KO Νύχτα Πυγμαχία: Rapid Fire”, which will air (10 μ.μ. ΚΑΙ / 7 μ.μ. PT) on CBS Sports Network live from Hartman Arena in Park City, Κάνσας.
“KO Νύχτα Πυγμαχία: Rapid Fireis a presentation of KO Night Boxing LLC.
Hernandez drew nearly 3,200 fans for his professional debut, Μάρτιος 25, in nearby Mulvane (KS), στο οποίο χτύπησε Patrick Gutierrez in the fourth round of the main event, which was also televised live on CBS Sports Network.
Hernandez’ υποστηρικτής, KO Νύχτα Πυγμαχία, LLC, 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,” υποστηρικτής John Andersen είπε. “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.

Jose Rodriguez unfazed, determined to KO 2016 Olympic bronze medalist Nico Hernandez InRapid Firemain event June 17

Airing live on CBS Sports Network from
Hartman Arena in Kansas
PARK CITY, Κάνσας (Μάιος 11, 2017) – Unfazed Mexico-native Jose Rodriguez is determined to knockout 2016 Χάλκινος Ολυμπιονίκης Nico Hernandez επί Σάββατο, Ιούνιος 17, στην “KO Νύχτα Πυγμαχία: Rapid Fireheadline event.

Wichita-native Hernandez (1-0, 1 KO) will be fighting at home against Rodriquez (2-0, 2 KOs), a flyweight living in Wisconsin,in the six-round main event that will air (10 μ.μ. ΚΑΙ / 7 μ.μ. PT) on CBS Sports Network live from Hartman Arena in Park City, Κάνσας.
“KO Νύχτα Πυγμαχία: Rapid Fireis a presentation of KO Night Boxing LLC.
Hernandez drew nearly 3,200 fans for his professional debut, Μάρτιος 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. Προπονητής Eddie Haynes gave Rodriguez an opportunity to join Team Certified, which includes former world title challenger Angel Manfredy, who also works Rodriguez’ γωνία.
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. Τώρα, he has a pair of first-round knockouts, the last this past September against Richard Tallmadge, who was coached by Nate Jones, ειρωνικώς, also an American Olympic bronze-medal winner in 1996.
Ροντρίγκεζ, 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, από αρχή μέχρι το τέλος, 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, Τον χτυπάω. If he thinks this is going to be an easy fight, he’ll know who I am after our fight. Πάω να τον τελειώσει!”
Unbeaten Canadian featherweight Marc “GwapoPagcaliwangan (10-0-1, 8 KOs) takes on Mexican invader Angel “Τρομερός” Monrreal (9-8-1, 3 KOs) 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.
“KO Νύχτα Πυγμαχία: Rapid Fireis a presentation of KO Night Boxing LLC.
Gutierrez was the perfect opponent for Nico’s pro debut,” σχολίασε John Andersen, who promotes Hernandez as well as the June 17ου σόου. “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 άνθρωποι, 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,” αυτός εξήγησε, “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 για αυτόν τον αγώνα. 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, Ουισκόνσιν, Ροντρίγκεζ (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 και Diego Corrales certainly aids his fighter. Manfredy (43-8-1, 32 KOs) had statement victories over Arturo Gatti, Julio Diaz και Ivan Robinson, μεταξύ των πιο προκρίτων.

Η.Π.Α.. Olympian Nico Hernandez Building Wichita into a fight town

“KO Νύχτα Πυγμαχία: History Begins
Encore presentation αυτό το Σάββατο night on CBSSN

(photo by Charles Yellowfeather)
WICHITA, Κάνσας (Μάρτιος 31, 2017)Last Saturday night at Kansas Star Arena in nearby Mulvane, 2016 Χάλκινος Ολυμπιονίκης Nico Hernandez planted a seed in hopes of growing Wichita into a fight town, as world champions Terence Crawford και Deontay Γουάιλντερ have already accomplished in the respective hometowns, Ομάχα (NE) and Birmingham (AL).
Περισσότερο από 3,100 fans purchased tickets Hernandezsuccessfully professional debut, στάθμευση Pat Gutierrez στον τέταρτο γύρο. To put that attendance figure in its proper perspective, Wichita has a population of less than 400,000 and in this hoop-crazed state, the appropriately named “KO Νύχτα Πυγμαχία: History Beginswent head-to-head with the popular Kansas Jayhawks quintet playing on national television in the Elite Eight of the NCAA college basketball championship, as well as The Wichita Force playing at home in indoor football.
The 21-year-old Hernandez is practically a sports franchise in Wichita, second only to the Wichita State University (WSU) men’s basketball team. The city turned out in force at a parade honoring Hernandez upon his return home from the Olympics and WSU awarded him an open-ended four-year college scholarship.
“KO Νύχτα Πυγμαχία: History BeginsEncore Presentation αυτό το Σάββατο νύχτα
The encore presentation of last Saturday’s “KO Νύχτα Πυγμαχία: History Begins,” featuring the pro debut of 2016 Olympic Bronze medalist Nico Hernandez, θα μεταδοθεί αυτό το Σάββατο (Απρίλιος 1), ξεκινώντας από 8:30 μ.μ. ΚΑΙ, on CBS Sports Network.
The show was a huge success and Nico, as a pro fighter, produced a more complete body of work than we had expected,” Hernandez’ υποστηρικτής John Andersen (KO Νύχτα Πυγμαχία) είπε. “I was very impressed. His amateur background converted to an even better pro style. It really showed his potential and that’s one of the primary reasons we signed him. We really believed in Nico. He is the only fighter we have signed, τώρα; Nico is our stable! We see things from a different angle than big-time promoters. We understood that he’s a hometown hero, so we had him headline at home his pro debut on national television (CBS Sports Network). We produce our shows on television and we enjoy telling stories like Nico’s. We’d like to come right back to Wichita with Nico fighting in June.
Lifelong Kansas Sean Wheelock, a non-paid member of the Kansas Athletic Commission that oversees boxing, in addition to calling last Saturday’s fights as a member of the KO Night Boxing announcing team on CBS Sports Network, has a unique perspective on the significance of last Saturday evening’s in terms of local boxing history.
It was huge for Kansas boxing,” Wheelock explained, “the biggest show in this state since the Τόμι Μόρισον Era (early-to-mid 1990’s). Morrison was an adopted son, αν και. Nico was born here and he has a deep investment in the Wichita community. Drawing 3000-plus for his pro debut, in a non-boxing market, was phenomenal and he has the potential to do what Crawford has done in Omaha and Wilder in Birmingham. Boxing has strong roots in Kansas and across the Midwest, but MMA has taken over and lately, most boxing in Kansas has been on hybrid shows with MMA and kickboxing.
Fans were loudly chanting, ‘Nicoand ‘316’ (Wichita’s area code) πριν, during and after his fight. I’ve never heard fans chanting for a city like they did, ‘Wichita’, for an individual athlete. And they were also chanting ‘USA’. As a native Kansas, I’m proud that this state has become more ethnically and culturally diverse with more Hispanics living in Wichita. Nico is engaged in the Hispanic community and he is a fantastic kid, πάρα πολύ. Because of his personality and fighting style, he can draw locally from Wichita, throughout all of Kansas, and nationally among Hispanics and Americans across the country because of his accomplishment in the Olympics.
Hernandez is also fighting in one of the hottest divisions in boxing — 115-pound junior bantamweight/super flyweightshowcasing name fighters such as Ναοία Ινου, Roman Gonzalez, Carlos Μπλοκ, Juan Francisco Estrada and recent addition Srisaket Sor Rungvisai. Conspicuously absent, ωστόσο, are top 20 ranked American fighters in this weight class, excluding 36-year-old Brian Viloria, the four-time, two-division (junior flyweight and flyweight) παγκόσμιος πρωταθλητής. The opportunity is right there for Hernandez to quickly establish himself as the preeminent American boxer in this weight class.
There’s no reason for Nico to fight outside of Wichita for a couple of years as he develops,” Andersen noted. “I feel that he can win a regional title next year. Our goal is to have him in a world title fight position within three years. Our goal is to get him 13 να 15 fights and then promote a super fight in Wichita. He started out in a six-round fight. I think he’ll only have a couple more and then move up to eight-round bouts.
Nico doesn’t waste a lot of punches, so the number of scheduled rounds won’t be a problem for him. Another fighter would have punched himself out in two rounds, fighting at home in front of a crowed like he had supporting him, but Nico showed tremendous poise, settling down and putting his punches together very well. He didn’t chase Gutierrez, he effectively cut off the ring, and his powerful body attack was something he didn’t do as an amateur. We wanted to see how he reacted to resistance and he passed that test with flying colors.
Andersen noted that his company has promoted several successful shows, noting the big difference is last weekend’s show featured a world-class fighter in Hernandez. “Making the Olympics was a big deal for Nico,” Andersen added, “whether he medaled or not. Nico is to us what Manny Pacquiao is to Top Rank, ‘Canelo’ Alvarez to Golden Boy. We’re lucky to start out with a fighter like Nico. Fighting in Wichita was risk for everybody but it’s already paying dividends.
We know who and what we are as a promotional company. Nico is our top priority, our only fighter right now, and now we have a great opportunity to build off last weekend’s success. We give Nico all the attention he deserves and he’s going to take advantage of this situation. And we also discovered that there’s some other talented boxers in this market. Whit Hayden did a wonderful job making very competitive fights. That’s his history, he never has blowouts. Whit is one of the most knowledgeable people I know in boxing. He’s the perfect matchmaker to guide Nico’s career, along with Nico’s father (επικεφαλής εκπαιδευτής) Λουδοβίκος Hernandez, who we work closely with in many ways, in and out of the ring.
