“KO NIGHT BOXING” RESULTS FROM KANSAS
PALM CITY, Kansas (Septiembre 24, 2017) – The name of last night’s “KO Noche de Boxeo: Step Up” event certainly was appropriate as 2016 medallista de bronce olímpico Nico Hernandez had to overcome a major obstacle to remain undefeated at Hartman Arena in Palm City, Kansas.
“KO Noche de Boxeo: Step Up!” was a presentation of KO Night Boxing LLC., en asociación con Roc Nation Deportes y 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 Hernandez’ scheduled 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 libra, Baratov was 112, which was the contracted weight. The Kansas Athletic Commission, sin embargo, 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) en MMA, including a 55-second stoppage of 14-7-1 Cody Land en julio pasado.
Latchman buzzed Hernandez in the first round, much to the chagrin of the Hernandez’ loud hometown crowd. Los Estados Unidos. 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, “pero no estaba. Mi entrenador (father Lewis Hernandez) told me to feint and go in, but I lunged a little too much. ¡Eh, I’m staying in my division (peso mosca) 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,” promotor John Andersen comentado. “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 Diciembre 2 to headline another show at Hartman Arena.
USBA No. 2- rated featherweight Tramaine “The Might Midget” Williams (13-0, 5 KOs), luchando fuera de New Haven (Connecticut), cruised to his 13º victory without a defeat, taking a one-sided 10-round unanimous decision over Derrick Murray (13-3, 5 KOs), En el evento co-estelar.

Airing live on CBS Sports Network from
Hartman Arena in Kansas
PARK CITY, Kansas (Junio 1, 2017) – Wichita-native Nico Hernandez (1-0, 1 KO), un 2016 medallista de bronce olímpico, is on a mission to establish his home as a real “fight town” like world champion Terence Crawford has done in Omaha, Nebraska.
The 21-year-old Hernandez returns to action Sábado, Junio 17, in the six-round main event against Mexican-born flyweight opponent Jose Rodriguez (2-0, 2 KOs), como cabeza de cartel “KO Noche de Boxeo: Fuego rápido”, which will air (10 p.m. Y / 7 p.m. PT) en CBS Sports Network en vivo desde Hartman Arena en Park City, Kansas.

Hernandez drew nearly 3,200 fans for his professional debut, Marzo 25, en las cercanías de Mulvane (Kansas), en la que noqueó Patrick Gutiérrez en la cuarta ronda del evento principal, which was also televised live on CBS Sports Network.
Hernández’ promotor, KO Noche de Boxeo, 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,” promotor John Andersen dicho. “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.”

Entrenador Eddie Haynes gave Rodriguez an opportunity to join Team Certified, which includes former world title challenger Ángel manfredy, who also works Rodriguez’ esquina.
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. Ahora, he has a pair of first-round knockouts, the last this past September against Richard Tallmadge, who was coached by Nate Jones, irónicamente, also an American Olympic bronze-medal winner in 1996.
Rodríguez, 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, de principio a fin, 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. Voy a acabar con él!”
Unbeaten Canadian featherweight Marc “Gwapo” Pagcaliwangan (10-0-1, 8 KOs) takes on Mexican invader Ángel “Terrible” Monrreal (9-8-1, 3 KOs) en la co-característica de ocho rondas. Pagacaliwangan is a Taekwondo-trained fighter of Filipino heritage. He is a three-time Ontario Golden Gloves and two-time Provincial amateur champion in his native Canada.
Wichita junior middleweight Noel Esquada (7-3-2, 5 KOs) se reúne 2012 Chicago Golden Gloves champion Limberth “El Gallito” Ponce (12-3, 9 KOs) in a scheduled six-round bout. Garden City (Kansas) prospecto de peso pluma Eric Vargas (2-0, 1 KO) faces pro-debuting Humberto “Tito” Tellez, fighting out of Winfield (Kansas).

Hernández, nativo de Wichita, enfrentará al invicto peso mosca mexicano Jose rodriquez (2-0, 2 KOs)en el evento principal de seis rondas.

Hernández, de 21 años, mostró un tremendo aplomo y algunos retoques en su estilo amateur., agregando un devastador ataque corporal, además de cambiar efectivamente de su postura ortodoxa a zurdo a veces.

“Siento que habrá incluso más gente en esta pelea que en mi debut profesional.,” Hernandez dijo. “Yo vivo solo un 10 a 15 minutos en coche del Hartman Arena, al norte de Wichita.
“Trabajé duro en los golpes al cuerpo para mi debut profesional. Yo no hice eso en los aficionados (sin puntos) y me estoy acostumbrando a cambiar a zurdo. Ambos estaban en nuestro plan de juego y tuvieron éxito en mi primera pelea.. Estoy emocionado de volver al ring, especialmente en casa. Nuestro plan es pelear cada dos o tres meses y tener un total de cuatro peleas este año.”
“KO Noche de Boxeo: Fuego rápido” es una presentación de KO Night Boxing LLC.
“Gutiérrez fue el oponente perfecto para el debut profesional de Nico,” comentado John Andersen, que promueve a Hernández así como a June 17º show. “Era duro, pero ahora es el momento de intensificarlo un poco contra un 2-0 oponente con dos nocauts. Nico está empezando a subir la escalera para llevarlo a donde queremos que vaya. Necesitamos moverlo más rápido que un luchador promedio., en gran parte debido a su experiencia amateur, y probablemente tendrá solo una pelea más de seis asaltos después de esto antes de subirlo a ocho.
“Pensé que parecía un poco nervioso en su debut profesional al principio., pero eso es lo esperado para un peleador que hace su debut profesional en casa frente a casi 3,200 gente, y después de eso fue genial. No podríamos haber pedido nada más y él participó en algunas rondas que serán útiles..
“Esta pelea estará cerca de donde vive Nico.. Nico realmente se conecta con los niños de la comunidad, a menudo hablando en escuelas locales, y esta es la oportunidad perfecta para que los padres traigan a sus hijos para verlo pelear una noche de fin de semana.
“Llamamos a este programa, 'Fuego rápido,’ principalmente por el estilo emocionante de Nico, disparando combinaciones nítidas en rápida sucesión, además de su nivel de actividad, ya que vuelve a pelear tan rápido.”
Hernández’ padre y entrenador principal, Lewis Hernandez, cree que los fans verán una mejora, luchador completo en esta pelea. “Nico mostró su cuerpo golpeando y cambió un poco para pelear con la mano izquierda.,” él explicó, “que no formaban parte de su estilo de boxeo en los aficionados. Los fanáticos verán el luchador que Nico realmente es, pero esta pelea volverá al boxeo más. Le dije que necesitaba ir al cuerpo como luchador profesional, pero que cada golpe no tiene por qué ser tan duro.. A veces necesito recordarle eso porque es un luchador de corazón.
“Sabía que estaría bien en su debut profesional (nerviosismo) porque se pone en marcha a medida que avanza la pelea. Cuando lastima a su oponente, viene aún más fuerte. Solo le digo que boxea y sea él mismo. Siempre está bien acondicionado para que pueda ir a rondas sin problemas.. Quiero que sea rápido y esquivo para llevarse a sus oponentes’ cuerpo y luego, en rondas posteriores, volver al boxeo. Luchó en 115 libras pero volverá a 112 para esta pelea. Nico era fuerte en 115 y será muy fuerte en peso mosca.”
Un mexicano de 29 años que pelea en Markesan., Wisconsin, Rodríguez (2-0, 2 KOs) tiene dos nocauts en el primer asalto en un par de peleas profesionales. Rodríguez es entrenado por cuatro veces retador al título mundial Ángel manfredy, cuya invaluable experiencia de lucha Floyd Mayweather, Jr., Stevie Johnston y Diego Corrales ciertamente ayuda a su luchador. Manfredy (43-8-1, 32 KOs) tuvo victorias sobre Arturo Gatti, Julio Diaz y Ivan Robinson, entre los más notables.
Adicional “KO Noche de Boxeo: Fuego rápido” pronto se anunciarán peleas. Todas las peleas y los luchadores están sujetos a cambio.

U.S. Olympian Nico Hernandez Building Wichita into a fight town

“KO Noche de Boxeo: History Begins”
Encore presentation este sábado night on CBSSN

(photo by Charles Yellowfeather)
WICHITA, Kansas (Marzo 31, 2017) – Last Saturday night at Kansas Star Arena in nearby Mulvane, 2016 medallista de bronce olímpico Nico Hernandez planted a seed in hopes of growing Wichita into a fight town, as world champions Terence Crawford y Deontay Wilder have already accomplished in the respective hometowns, Omaha (Nebraska) and Birmingham (AL).
Más que 3,100 fans purchased tickets Hernandez’ successfully professional debut, parada Pat Gutierrez en la cuarta ronda. 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 Noche de Boxeo: History Begins” went 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 Noche de Boxeo: History Begins” Encore Presentation este sábado noche
The encore presentation of last Saturday’s “KO Noche de Boxeo: History Begins,” featuring the pro debut of 2016 Olympic Bronze medalist Nico Hernandez, saldrá al aire este sábado (Abril 1), a partir de 8:30 p.m. Y, en 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,” Hernández’ promotor John Andersen (KO Noche de Boxeo) dicho. “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, ahora mismo; 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 Tommy Morrison Era (early-to-mid 1990’s). Morrison was an adopted son, aunque. 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, ‘Nico’ and ‘316’ (Wichita’s area code) antes, 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, demasiado. 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 flyweight — showcasing name fighters such as Naoya Inoue, Román González, Carlos Cuadras, Juan Francisco Estrada and recent addition Srisaket Sor Rungvisai. Conspicuously absent, sin embargo, 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) campeón del mundo. 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 a 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 (entrenador en jefe) Lewis Hernández, who we work closely with in many ways, dentro y fuera del ring.”
