Нико Ернандес (R) pounded Pat Gutierrez
“It doesn’t get better than this,” a beaming Hernandez said after the fight. “It means so much for me to bring boxing to Wichita, to all of Kansas, for these awesome fans. I started switching up a little because it was worked. I’d like to get back fighting again за два месеца.
“I wasn’t to thank KO Night Boxing. This was the way I pictured it. As I was waiting in the tunnel, I could hear the crowd chanting my name. This was a great night of boxing. I want to bring more shows here.
“Борбата тук тази вечер was much different than fighting in the Olympics (in Brazil). Тази вечер they were cheering me, they booed me at the Olympics no matter who I fought because I was an American.”

Tramaine Williams (R) outclassed Eduardo Garza
“I performance okay,” Williams commented. “The last two rounds I was a little winded but I hadn’t been in the ring for two years. We knew he dropped his chin when he jabbed; I followed the game plan and it worked. He fought his butt off, he didn’t come to lose. Сега, Искам да се бори с най-доброто. Let’s go!”

“It’s a great feeling,” the 21-year-old Hernandez said from training camp. “I am feeling some pressure but, once I’m in the ring, everything goes away. There definitely is some pressure on me because I’m fighting where everybody knows me in my hometown. Така, Аз не може да загуби. At the Olympics, all the Americans there gave me more energy to win. I didn’t want to lose in front of my people. Fighting at home will push me to do my best.
“I’m not really focused on fighting on national television. I’m going out there to put on a boxing clinic and, if the knockout comes, it comes. If it happens, it happens, but not going in there looking for a knockout. I’m used to fighting only three rounds (като аматьор) но, as the fight goes on, I’ve always gotten better. Six rounds do give me more time to work on my opponent and do more damage.”

The 25-year-old Macias (14-0, 8 Нокаута), fighting out of Palm Desert, Калифорния, придобива “портиер” Soriano (26-34-1, 16 Нокаута) in the opening televised bout. The extremely aggressive fighting Macias, who is the reigning World Boxing Council’s (WBC) United States junior middleweight champion, в момента е класиран №. 13 от САЩ асоциация Бокс (USBA).
Накратко, Macias is an energized-bunny boxer, винаги върви напред, throwing an arsenal of punches from every conceivable angle. His fan-friendly style, in addition to his rooster persona, makes him an instant favorite wherever he fights. Kansas fans there to support Hernandez will probably take to Macias before the first bell.
“I never chose my nickname,” Macias explained. “I fought a lot in the amateurs between Los Angeles and Fresno, where there are a lot of Latino fans. They started calling me, Gallo, which is Spanish for Rooster. In my fourth fight, I did a little rooster dance and scratched. След това, I was more dramatic, and eventually I started crowing. I crow and scratch before, during and after my fights, so I better live up to my nickname and keep winning.
“We don’t just focus on techniques on camp, I go through some insane, hardcore workouts. Everybody gets tired in the ring but I train very hard and always find my second wind during fights because I train so hard. I’ve been doing it this way for the past five years. I have a good coach, my father (Към), who pushes me. I never reach a plateau in workouts. We even steal workouts from other gyms. Но, boxing is 80-percent mental and with the Adrenalin rush from fighting in front of large crowds, умствено, I have to be strong to physically do what I do in the ring.”
Macias is getting close to breaking into the world ratings. Two of his last three fights have been shown on CBS Sports Network, both live from Las Vegas, including his USNBC-winning fight against previously undefeated Rolando Garza (9-0), the former member of the Mexican National Boxing Team. Macias took the fight to Garza fight from the opening bell, never letting up during this action-packed fight, until the referee stopped the fight in the fifth round.
“Everybody hits the wall and I did against Garza in the fourth round,” Macias said, “but I got my second wind and finished him off in the fifth. I’ve gotten better since that fight, твърде. I’m not a Floyd (Мейуедър младши.)-like fighter, so I’ve been working on my defense, keeping my hands high, elbows close to my body. I’m smothering opponents now, not giving them leverage, and I haven’t been getting cut like I did in my earlier fights.
“I’m going to show fight smarts early, fighting in flurries and pressuring him inside to make him uncomfortable, and then wear him down for the middle and late rounds. The ‘Rooster’ is going to pressure him; tap, tap, tap to the body, until things settle down and then start digging punches to his head and body. I’m doing everything to come out of this fight 15-0.”
Soriano has won his last two fights. He is the former Fecarbox and WBC Mundo Hispano lightweight champ. As a “портиер,” he has tested the likes of world title challengers Jean Ware и Ionut Dan Ion, as well as top contenders such as Кевин Bizier и Logan McGuinness.

“This fight is make or break for me,” the 22-year-old Gutierrez said about his ‘Rocky’-like moment. The crowd won’t bother me because I enjoy fighting in front of large crowds. I’ve learned the hard way that, fighting my opponent in his backyard, I can’t leave it in the hands of the judges. I watched Nico fight in the Olympics. I have a lot of respect for him and was proud of him for winning the bronze medal for our country. Но, I also saw some flaws from the fight that he lost. He’s in trouble if he hasn’t corrected those flaws.”

“I fell in love with boxing right away,” Gutierrez admitted. “I live in the fight capital of the world, Las Vegas, и Флойд Мейуедър (Jr.) was at his prime there when I first started boxing. I boxed in California (Orange County) and won a three-day tournament there as an amateur. I decided to turn pro but, due to some broken promises, I didn’t make my pro debut for two years. Така, I just focused on training. I broke my wrist in the second round of my first fight but decided to stick with boxing. Шест месеца по -късно, I fought a California kid (Alexander Enriquez) in Los Angeles and felt that I had won all four rounds. I could tell because the large crowd was silent throughout the fight. I’ve learned the hard way, the past four years, but I’m still young and getting better every day. I had an easy fight scheduled for Март 11 когато (промотор) John Andersen called offering me this fight. I wanted to restart my career and jumped at the opportunity to fight Nico. I decided to take the risk to fight an Olympic medalist in his hometown. I just love fighting and I’m not going there to lose.”

“KNOCKOUT NIGHT AT THE D” RESULTS FROM LAS VEGAS
(All pictures by Manny “Mitts” Murillo / Roy Jones Jr. боксови Промоции)
(L-R) — John Anderson, Neon Star Media; co-promoters Keith Veltre and future Hall of Famer Roy Jones, Jr., Стив “Драконът” Claggett and Derek Stevens, Owner and CEO of the D Las Vegas and Downtown Las Vegas Events Center
LAS VEGAS (Септември 10, 2016) – The heat was on last night at “Knockout Night at the D,” в и извън ринга, thoroughly entertaining another sold-out crowd at the outdoorDowntown Las Vegas Events Center.
On a stacked card that had fans on their feet all night, Canadian Стив “Драконът” Claggett (24-4-1, 16 Нокаута) разстроен Emmanuel “Renegade” Robles (15-1-1, 5 Нокаута) в основното събитие, promoted in association with Bobby D Presents, but it was Neeco “The Rooster” Macias (13-0, 7 Нокаута) who stole the show in the co-feature
The “Knockout Night at the D” серия, представен от

на D Las Vegas and Downtown Las Vegas Events Center, is promoted by Roy Jones Jr. (RJJ) боксови Промоции. Hall Of Fame announcers

Джим “J.R.” Рос и Al Bernstein called the action from ringside on CBS Sports Network in North America and internationally via ESPN.
Стив Claggett (L) upset Emmanuel Robles
Claggett, борба от Калгари, Канада, dropped down one weight class. Coming off a disputed 10-round decision loss to Крис ван Херден миналия април, also at the Downtown Las Vegas Event Center, Claggett won a 10-round majority decision (98-92, 98-92, 94-96)тази вечер for the vacant North American Boxing Association (Също) welterweight title. His expert body work allowed him to dictate the pace of the boxing match.
“This is a long time coming, Claggett admitted. “I took the loss (срещу. Ван Heerden) in stride, vowing to go back to the gym and make changes. I went down to 140 (паунда.) and it was the right decision. I’m stronger. I I really worked hard.
“I landed a couple of shots that hurt him noticeably. Той е труден. Robles is a champion in the making. Имам голямо уважение към него. Това е моят живот. То (his loss to van Heerden) fueled me. The fire’s back in me. I love fighting in Las Vegas.”
Neeco “The Rooster” Macias (L) stole the show to became a rising star
The co-feature showcased a pair undefeated junior middleweights and from the opening bell it was a real firefight. Macias forced Роландо “Rola” Гарса (9-1, 6 Нокаута), a 3-time Mexican National amateur champion, to fight his fight. Macia’s aggressive style, always coming forward, throwing punches from every conceivable angle, ruled the coop. Garza got caught up in the action and paid for it, although the score after was 39-37, 39-37 for Macias, 39-37 for Garza, entering the fifth and final round. Macia’s constant pressure controlled the action, wearing down Garza, and paid dividends as he dropped Garza in the fifth. Рефер Джей Нади had seen enough, halting the fight at that point as much due to the damage Garza had suffered in the first four rounds as the knockdown.
A rising star was born in Macia, who captured the vacant World Boxing Association (WBC) United States junior middleweight championship. “It’s conditioning, a lot of work,” Macias explained the reason for his non-stop action before crowing loudly in the ring. “I stuck to the game plan. I knew he’d come to fight with a lot of skill to out-box me and get points. My game plan was throw a lot of upper cuts and punches from every angle. It was all about throwing combinations.
“He had a lot pf power, so I used defense to block punches. In the last round, I put punches together. I think the fight was stopped a little early and he could have kept going, but I didn’t see what he saw, and the referee was looking out for the fighters so we can fight another day.”
Jeremy Nichols remained undefeated
In the television opener, flashy Las Vegas welterweight Jeremy “J-Flash” Nichols (6-0, 2 Нокаута) kept rolling, winning a 4-round unanimous decision over Стив Belmontes (2-1, O KOs). Nichols outworked his opponent, consistently beating Belmontes to the punch with his superior quickness.
“I think it could have been a little flashier,” Nichols admitted. “But give it up to my opponent, he came to fight. С повече от 100 любителски битки, he could take a punch but he kept coming. My goal was to take everything from him and make him fight my fight. His hands were a little slower and he took a lot of good body shots and counters.”
Marina Ramirez (R) was a crowd pleaser
Idaho junior flyweight Marina “Скалист” Ramirez (40-36, 40-36, 40-36) pitched a 4-round shutout, побеждаване Rachel “The Black Widow” Sazoff (0-2) от десетки 40-36 повсеместно. “I landed a lot of shots,” Ramirez noted. “I respect her, she was tough. The game plan worked and we got the win.”
Randy Moreno (L) keeps improving
Twenty-year-old Randy Moreno (4-0, 3 Нокаута) turned in the best performance of his young career, stopping Australian junior lightweight “12” Gaige Ireland (2-1-2, 2 Нокаута) в третия кръг. Moreno fights with the poise of a much older fighter, effectively counter punching from the opening bell. “Тя се чувства страхотно,” Moreno commented. “I wouldn’t be here today if it wasn’t forGil Martinez (главата треньор). He is notorious for his training methods and it’s paid off. I’ve been with him 10 години. Fighting here at home means the world to me.”
Ismail Muwendo (L) остана непобеден
Непобеждаван лека перспектива Ismail “Sharp Shooter” Muwendo, fighting out of Minneapolis by way of his native Uganda, подобрени, за да 18-0 (12 Нокаута), taking a one-sided six-round unanimous decision from Eliseo Cruz (9-2-1, 6 Нокаута). “I think I did well, I was out of the ring a long time,” Muwendo commented. He’s a tough guy who was ready.”
Max Ornelas (R) opened the show in grand style
Las Vegas favorite Max “Baby Face Assassin” Ornelas (4-0, 2 Нокаута) remained unbeaten by way of a 4-round unanimous decision over Jonathan “Johnny Boy” Quiorz (6-5, 1 KO). “I was confident (of winning the decision,” the 18-year-old Ornelas said. “I was out-boxing him. I love fighting here. I have a lot of support from family and friends; I’m motivated when I hear them.”

The “The” must go in co-feature showdown at “Knockout Night at the D” between Undefeated junior middleweight prospects Rolando Garza & Neeco Macias

На живо Седем. 9 on CBS Sports Network from the Downtown Las Vegas Event Center
LAS VEGAS (Август 30, 2016) – In a classic match-up of contrasting styles, Роландо “Rola” Гарса и Neeco “The Rooster” Macias will both put their undefeated records on the line in the “Knockout Night at the D” 8-round co-featured event, проветряване Петък нощ, Септември 9, на CBS Sports Network, live from the outdoor Downtown Las Vegas Събития Center (DLVEC).
The “Knockout Night at the D” серия, представен от

and DLVEC, is promoted by Roy Jones Jr. (RJJ) боксови Промоции. Hall Of Fame announcers Джим “J.R.” Рос и Al Bernstein will call all of the action from ringside, като се започне от 11 p.m. И / 11 p.m. И, по CBS Sports Network.

The 10-round main event pits unbeaten junior welterweights Emmanuel “Renegade” Robles (15-1-1, 5 Нокаута) и Стив “Драконът” Claggett(23-4-1, 16 Нокаута),promoted in association with Bobby D Presents, for the vacant North American Boxing Association (Също) – United States junior welterweight championship.
Garza and Macias (12-0, 6 Нокаута), who will be fighting for the vacant WBC – US junior middleweight championship, are exact opposites in and out of the ring. The winner will advance to the next level of competition in the 154-pound division.
A technically sound boxer, Garza had an extensive amateur background as a member of the Mexican National Team, finishing with a 120-12 рекорд, before turning pro September 29, 2012. The quiet, unassuming fighter 24-year-old was impressive in his last fight, also at the DLVEC this past Юни 10, in which he dominated previously unbeaten Erasmo Garcia (5-0-1) on his way to an 6-round unanimous decision (59-54, 59-54, 58-56) победа.

“The opportunity that Roy Jones Jr Boxing Promotions and CBS Sports Network has presented me has boosted my confidence to another level,” Garza said. “I have never been more confident in my skills, my team and training. I’m going to show Las Vegas and the rest of country what my talent brings into the ring. Once Las Vegas witnesses my talent, биете по националната телевизия, no one will be able to turn a blind eye. Not only will this fight put my name out there, but better opportunities will present themselves, and that keeps me motivated.

“This fight will propel me into the 154-pound rankings. It’s high risk with an even higher reward: WBC / US title. My opponent is a brawler; a non-stop, aggressive puncher who moves forward, which will make this fight nothing short of explosive fireworks in the ring.”
In the other corner, the non-stop Macias relies on conditioning and an aggressive, always coming forward approach to break down his opponent. The 25-year-old Macias, fighting out of Palm Desert, Калифорния, unlike Garza, who now lives and trains in Austin (TX), had only 30 amateur bouts having started boxing at the relative advanced age of 21. He did win gold medals at the National Blue & Gold Tournament, as well as Central California Golden Gloves and Desert Showdown. Macias is a showman, playing to the crowd before, during and after fights, crowing like a rooster, always with a broad smile on his face.

Macias’ last fight, also at the DLVE this past Април 16, resulted in an action-packed fight against Limberth Ponce(10-2). Never tasking his foot off the pedal, Macias rolled to a win by 8-round unanimous decision (79-73 X 3), earning him a legion of new fans who were in attendance or watched the fight on CBS Sports Network.

“Fighters don’t really care who they fight, they just want to fight,” Macias explained why his risking his undefeated record against an opponent who has never loss. “I had a fight fall through so, instead of waiting for another fight, when the opportunity to fight a 9-0 guy came, my coaches watched film of him and we agreed that I’m ready. This is the first time I’m fighting on the ‘B’ side, but we’re using that as motivation. I take one fight at a time but I know I’m fighting on TV and need to look good. I want to show everyone that all the hard work has paid off.
“I see this fight as my opponent probably having more skill, he’s technically sound and sets up his shots. But our plan is to take him out of his game plan, wear him down and have some fun doing it. My last fight was my first in Las Vegas and first time fighting on national television. It got a lot of notice. I’ve been through all of that now and will be even better prepared for this fight. It’s awesome fighting in Las Vegas on CBS Sports Network!”

LAS VEGAS (Август 22, 2016) – Undefeated San Diego prospect Emmanuel “Renegade” Robles takes on Canadian welterweight champion Стив “Драконът” Claggett in a crossroads fight for both в петък нощ, Септември 9, in the return of “Knockout Night at the D,” проветряване (11 p.m. И / 8 p.m. PT) на живо по CBS Sports Networkот открито Downtown Las Vegas Събития Center (DLVEC).
The “Knockout Night at the D” серия, представен от на D Las Vegas and DLVEC, is promoted by Roy Jones Jr. (RJJ) боксови Промоции. Hall Of Fame announcers Джим “J.R.” Рос и Al Bernstein will call all of the action from ringside on CBS Sports Network.
Robles vs. Claggett, promoted in association with Bobby D Presents, is the 10-round main event for the vacant North American Boxing Association (Също) – United States junior welterweight championship.
Седем. 9тата has the potential to be the most explosive top-to-bottom card in the already praised 2016 “Knockout Night at the D” серия, which consistently showcases утрешнияstars in highly competitive, compelling match-ups.
“Knockout Night at the D’ is truly establishing itself in Downtown Las Vegas as a premier event for boxing fans in the community and beyond,” каза Derek Stevens, Owner and CEO of the D Las Vegas and DLVEC. “From hometown heavy-hitters to up-and-coming amateur fighters, the second half of this series will bring unforgettable, action-packed shows that can’t be missed.”
A former World Boxing Council (WBC) Latino super lightweight champion, as well as a 2008 National PAL gold medalist. Robles (15-0-1, 5 Нокаута) needs an impressive victory on national television in order to advance to the next level of the junior welterweight division.

“I am excited to showcase my skills once again as the main event on a Roy Jones Jr. Boxing Promotions card,” Роблес каза. “Both of my promoters, RJJ & Bobby D, are presenting me with such an incredible opportunity to fight for the Regional NABA Title belt. My opponent is in for the boxing lesson of his life. I know Claggett will be a strong contender and brings a power punch to the table. He is going to be challenging, the toughest opponent I’ve had to face thus far in my boxing career, but I am ready to show my opponent and his team the skills that will help me capture the title and bring it home to RJJ and my team.
“It’s an honor to display my superior boxing skills for Roy Jones Jr. on CBS Sports Network and I am humbled that Las Vegas has accepted me with such open arms. Defeating Claggett will put me on the map as a contender for the top 140-pounders in the world such as (Ейдриън) Broner, (Терънс)Crawford & (победител) Postal.
The 27-year-old Claggett (23-4-1, 16 Нокаута) needs to bounce back from a disputed 10-round loss by majority decision the Крис ван Херден in his last fight this past April, also at the DLVEC, to revitalize his career. Claggett is taking a risk by dropping down one weight class in order to challenge junior welterweight Robles.

“Тази борба означава всичко за мен,” Claggett explained. It is a make or break fight for my career and I have a chance to re-enter the boxing world at 140 паунда, which is a weight that I believe I should have been fighting at a little while ago. I have a new trainer for the first time – a new team – and I am looking forward to showing fans a new fighter. A victory will stamp my name as a true world champion contender. I understand my position and I know that I am on the ‘B’ side, but I have been in this position many times before. I have a lot of experience in the sport of boxing and it has finally all come together for me. This will be my best fight. My focus and training will show on fight night.

“My opponent is a strong fighter. Robles is a sharp boxer and he has a good history in the sport as well. He is a southpaw and brings a good record to the table. All respect to the Robles team, but I am ready to fight for my life, and this is what this sport is all about. Expect me to bring everything I have and put on a ’10’ war for the fans.”
A firefight is developing for the 8-round co-feature between unbeaten prospects Роландо “Rola” Гарса (9-0, 6 Нокаута) и Neeco “Roster” Macias (12-0, 6 Нокаута), who will throw-down for the vacant WBC – US junior middleweight championship.

Непобеждаван перспектива Emmanuel “Renegade” Robles (15-0-1, 5 Нокаута), битка от Сан Диего, faces Canadian welterweight champion Стив “Драконът” Claggett (33-4-1, 16 Нокаута) in the 10-round main event for the vacant North American Boxing Association (Също) – United States junior welterweight championship.
The 28-year-old Robles is a former WBC Latino super lightweight champion, as well as a 2008 National PAL gold medalist. The gifted southpaw has reeled-off 11consecutive victories since his 2012 draw with 7-0 Adrian Vargas. NABA No. 1 contender Robles’ signature win to date was last year’s second-round stoppage of Leon Spinks III, grandson of former heavyweight champion and Olympic gold medalist Leon Спинкс, who left the ring on a stretcher. Also notable are winning decisions versus 15-1 Йорденис Угаш и 13-1 Джонатан Момичета. His last fight was a fourth-round technical knockout of Gerardo Cuevas през миналия май.
Claggett, 27, is coming off of a disputed 10-round majority decision loss to Крис Ван Хердън (23-2-1) last April at the DLVEC. Fighting out of Calgary, Alberta, Claggett is dropping down one weight class in order to challenge junior welterweight Robles for the vacant NABA – United States title.

In a rare battle of unbeaten prospects, Roland “Rola” Гарса (9-0, 6 Нокаута) meets popular California junior middleweight Neeco “The Rooster” Macias (12-0, 6 Нокаута) in the 8-round co-feature.
Гарса, 24, was an outstanding amateur boxer in Mexico, where he compiled a 120-12 рекорд, earning a spot on the Mexican National Team. През изминалата юни, Garza won a thrilling 6-round decision over previously unbeaten Erasmo Garcia (5-0-1) at the DLVEC.

The always entertaining Macias, 25, who crows like a rooster in the ring before and after fights, had fans on their feet in his last fight, which was a non-stop brawl at the DLVEC with Limberth Ponce миналия април, ending in a unanimous 8-round decision for Macias.
