PARK CITY, Мая. (Лютага 11, 2018) – U.S. Olympian and hometown favorite Ніка Hernandez captured the vacant International Boxing Association (IBA) Americas flyweight title in his fourth professional fight, headlining last night’s “KO Night бокса” золата & слава” карта, на Хартмана Arena у Парк-Сіці, Канзас.
Прадстаўлена “KO Night Boxing LLC,” the card was taped live to be shown at a later date on CBS Sports Network. “KO Night бокса” золата & слава” карта, presented by KO Night Boxing LLC,
22-гадовы Эрнандэс (4-0, 3 КО) stopped last-minute replacement, гульня Віктар “Бык” Торэс, ў пятым раўндзе.
Эрнандэс’ арыгінальныя суперніка, Hungarian champion Joseph Ajtai (19-9, 12 КО), never made it to Wichita due to a series of unfortunate circumstances. Ajtai lost one day in Frankfurt, Германія, after leaving his passport on the plane he took from Budapest. Once he landed in Chicago ў сераду, 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,” прамоўтэр John Andersen сказаў. “Яшчэ раз, 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’ бяспеку.
“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 (назву пояса) 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 (назву пояса).”
У са-прыкметах падзеі, Minneapolis паўсярэдняй вазе Javonte Старкоў (13-2, 7 КО) and Mexican veteran Сезар Сориано (28-36-2, 17 КО) fought to a six-round majority draw.

Wichita сярэднім Джэф Sturm (2-0, 1 KO) застаўся непераможаным, stopping intrastate rival Brian Clements, Топіка, halfway through the opening round.
Another pro-debuting California fighter, у першым нападаючым вазе Чаз Масиаса, needed only1:20 to knockout Omaha’s Corey Roberts.

KO Night Boxing signs “The Dragon” Popular Canadian junior welterweight Steve Claggett

Пакінуць каментар

Лас-Вегасе (Студзеня 25, 2018) — KO Night Boxing LLC announced it has signed popular Canadian junior welterweight Стыў “The Dragon” Claggett ў эксклюзіўны рэкламны кантракт.

The Las Vegas-based company also has 2016 Olympic bronze medalist and undefeated Wichita flyweight, Ніка Hernandez (3-0), 2 КО), among its growing stable of professional boxers.
The 28-year-old Claggett (26-4-1, 17 КО), fighting out of Calgary, is a fan-favorite because of his aggressive, non-stop style. Since the ultra-aggressive Claggett moved back down one division to junior welterweight, Claggett is a perfect 3-0 (1 KO), including a pair of title-winning 10-round decisions over previously unbeaten opponents,Іў Ulysse, Малодшы. (14-0) за вакантны Міжнароднай федэрацыі бокса (IBF) North American super lightweight title, а таксама Emmanuel Robles (15-0-1) for the vacant World Boxing Association (WBA) NABA USA super lightweight crown.
“I’m excited to be signed by John Andersen and KO Night Boxing,” Claggett said. “There were no guarantees (without a promoter). I’ve always had the talent but never the structure. I’ll have that now, хоць. It was always difficult making fights with long layoffs, dates falling through, and offers on short notice. I’ve only been able to show a little of what I’m capable. All I’ve ever wanted is a fair shake and this opportunity will allow me to show what I can do. This year is going to be big for me and KO Night Boxing.
“I’m just approaching my prime. I’ve only been working with my trainer, Vlad Goldenstein, for a little more than a year, але я 3-0 with him and have won two belts. Я старая школа знішчальнік, action-packed and who brings the pace. This is a great for me and my boxing career.”
“We’re taking a big step in the right direction by signing Steve,” Claggett’s new promoter Andersen commented. “Я ўсхваляваны. Steve deserves this opportunity and we’re going to deliver for him.
“Steve is an action fighter, always coming forward, and he hasn’t been in a bad fight during the three years I’ve known him. He took a risk but really opened some eyes with his performance against Ulysse. What an accomplishment fighting an undefeated fighter in his backyard. He took a big risk and got a big win. And now he’s beaten the man (Ulysse) who has beaten the man (21-0 Cletus Seldin, WDEC10, Снежні. 16, 2017 на HBO). Steve’s undefeated on this run as a junior welterweight, beating two previously unbeaten opponents, and he deserves more recognition and a shot at a big fight.”
“Steve’s an animal in the squared circle and the farthest thing from it outside the ring,” Claggett’s manager Max Matheny дабаўленай. “He has all the attributes of a champion. His boxing IQ and ability to adapt under pressure makes Claggett a serious challenge. He can beat anybody in the division on any given night. We’ve had a multitude of promotional offers to consider at the end of a strong 2017 and are very excited to align with KO Night Boxing. They are going to give us the opportunities to show the world how good ‘The Dragon’ really is. His signature is turning into an autograph in 2018, mark my words.”
The boxing irony is that Ulysse, not Claggett, is now world ranked. Considering the half-Chinese, half-European Claggett beat Ulysse in his Montreal hometown, Steve proved that he’ll fight anybody, ўсюды, unlike many fighters who make that claim but don’t back it up. “Me and my team aren’t afraid to fight anybody,” he spoke about his most significant fight to date. “Bring it on! I’m willing to fight in hostile territory against an A-side fighter. We don’t pick and choose. Too many fighters pad their records, but that only upsets fans, and delays fights. I’m looking for tough fights to judge how much I’ve grown. I’d love to fight the top guys.
“My fight with Ulysse was my biggest but not best fight. I thought I boxed a little robotic and fell back into some old habits. I’d give myself a B- for that fight. I got the win and put on a great show that was fast paced. Ulysse and Robles box, run and move. I’d like an opponent who comes to me, stays in the pocket, and fights. I know it’ll be a helluva fight.”
Maybe Claggett’s next fight will be on a higher platform, магчыма, against a legitimate fighter’s fighter like Steve.

vacant IBA Americas flyweight title
Снежні. 2 на Хартмана Arena у Парк-Сіці, Канзас
PARK CITY, Канзас (Лістапада 20, 2017) – USA Olympian and hometown hero Ніка Hernandez and Hungarian flyweight champion Йожеф “чырвоная” 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, Субота ноч, Снежні 2, на “KO Night бокса: золата & слава” карта, на Хартмана Arena у Парк-Сіці, Канзас.
“KO Night бокса: золата & слава” з'яўляецца прэзентацыя KO Night бокса LLC., у сувязі з Хартмана Arena, і аўтары часткова Twister City Harley-Davidson Metro PCS, Mort’s Cigar Bar іJimmy’s Egg.
Дзеянне будзе тасьмой жыць для будучага выхаду ў эфір на CBS Sports Network.
The 21-year-old Hernandez (3-0, 2 КО), змагаюцца Вічыта, was a decorated amateur boxer who compiled a sterling 123-12 запіс, highlighted by his bronze-medal winning performance at the 2016 Алімпійскія гульні ў Бразіліі. 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, аднак, will be his first title fight, coming in only his fourth pro bout.
Ajtai, які адзін год і шэсць дзён маладзейшы Hernandez, made his professional debut 2 ½ years ago, and he’s already fought in five title fights.
Эрнандэс’ 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, hopefully, back here at home to help us continue building Wichita into a fight town.”
Ajtai (19-9, 12 КО) has already had 28 пра баі, 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 Цзоу, былы Сусветнай баксёрскай арганізацыі (WBO) найлягчэйшых вазе свету. The Hungarian has fought at home in Hungary, as well as on the road in the United Kingdom, Іспанія, Германія, Украіна і Славакія. 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 2й. When my condition is good, as it is for this fight, nobody likes to fight me.
“Гэта вялікая магчымасць для мяне. 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 (супраць. 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. і, like I’ve said, I don’t plan on this fight going the distance.”
Ajtai, вядома, isn’t traveling all the way to Kansas to visit Dorothy or the Wizard of Oz, ён прыходзіць, каб выйграць!
“Ніка не будзе ведаць, дзе я буду ў коле,” Ajtai прадказаў. “Калі ён глядзіць налева для мяне, Я пайду направа; калі ён спрабуе знайсці мяне на правай, Я буду на левым. Калі ён хоча адпачыць, Прыйду наперад штампоўкі; калі ён хоча ўдарыць, ён не знойдзе мяне.
“У мяне ёсць план для гэтага бою, і я ўпэўнены, што ён робіць, а. Але, у кольцы, толькі план аднаго байца можа дамагчыся поспеху. Гэта будзе добры бой, але я не магу абяцаць грамадскасці, што Ніка будзе пераможцам.”
поўны “золата & слава” card will be announced later this week. Усе баі і байцы могуць быць зменены.

PARK CITY, KANSAS (Кастрычнік 23, 2017) – 2016 Бронзавы прызёр Алімпійскіх гульняў Ніка Hernandez will be fighting for his first professional title on Субота, Снежні 2, when he takes on Hungarian invaderЙожеф “чырвоная” Ajtai in the eight-round main event for the vacant International Boxing Association (IBA) Flyweight Championship, хэдлайнерамі “KO Night бокса: золата & слава” на Хартмана Arena у Парк-Сіці, Канзас.

“KO Night бокса: золата & слава” з'яўляецца прэзентацыя KO Night бокса LLC., у сувязі з Хартмана Arena, і аўтары часткова Twister City Harley-Davidson Metro PCS, Mort’s Cigar Bar і Jimmy Egg.

Дзеянне будзе тасьмой жыць для будучага выхаду ў эфір на CBS Sports Network.
The 21-year-old Hernandez (3-0, 2 КО), змагаюцца Вічыта, 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 23й, Hernandez was forced to fight late replacement Kendrick “Uprising” Latchman who outweighed the celebrated American Olympian by more than 10 фунты. Hernandez won a six-round unanimous decision by scores of 60-54 і 59-55 двойчы.
Despite being younger than Hernandez by almost a year to the day, Ajtai (19-9, 12 КО) has already had 28 пра баі, including a full 10-round distance loss by decision last year to two-time Olympic gold medalist Shiming Цзоу, былы Сусветнай баксёрскай арганізацыі (WBO) найлягчэйшых вазе свету.
“By far, Nico is fighting the toughest opponent of his pro career,” Эрнандэс’ прамоўтэр John Andersen (“KO Night Boxing LLC) сказаў. “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 фунты.
“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 дабаўленай. “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 Оскар дэ ла Хойя,Джордж Форман, Раберта Дзюран і Артура Гаці, as well as stars such as Рой Джонс, Малодшы,Бернард Хопкінс, Шэйн мослы, Джэймс Тоні, Mikkel Kessler, Eric Morales, Дыега Корралес, Хасэ Луіс Касціла, Глен Джонсан і Антоніо Тарвер.

ПРЭС-РЭЛІЗ
“KO NIGHT BOXING” RESULTS FROM KANSAS
PALM CITY, Канзас (Верасня 24, 2017) – The name of last night’s “KO Night бокса: Step Up” event certainly was appropriate as 2016 Бронзавы прызёр Алімпійскіх гульняў Ніка Hernandez had to overcome a major obstacle to remain undefeated at Hartman Arena in Palm City, Канзас.
“KO Night бокса: 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.
Вуліца. 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 фунты, Baratov was 112, which was the contracted weight. The Kansas Athletic Commission, аднак, 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 КО) у ММА, including a 55-second stoppage of 14-7-1 Cody Land у ліпені гэтага года.
Latchman buzzed Hernandez in the first round, much to the chagrin of the Hernandez’ loud 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 КО).
“They (his corner and fans) were nervous,” the 21-year-old Hernandez said after the fight, “але я не быў. My coach (father Lewis Hernandez) told me to feint and go in, but I lunged a little too much. Эй, I’m staying in my division (лёгкі вага) 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,” прамоўтэр John Andersen пракаментаваў. “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 Снежні 2 to headline another show at Hartman Arena.
USBA No. 2- rated featherweight Tramaine “The Might Midget” Уільямс (13-0, 5 КО), fighting out of New Haven (Канэктыкут), cruised to his 13й victory without a defeat, taking a one-sided 10-round unanimous decision over Derrick Murray (13-3, 5 КО), у сумесных прыкметах падзеі.
Key West, FL welterweight Armando “Джэнтльмен: Альварэс (17-0, 11 КО) застаўся непераможаным, winning a 10-round unanimous decision against Hungarian champion Gabor “Squirrel” Gorbics (23-8, 14 КО) in a competitive Special Welterweight Attraction. Alvarez is the WBC Latino welterweight title holder.
Undefeated Chinese heavyweight prospect Zhilei “Big Bang” Zhang (18-0, 14 КО), the reigning WBO Oriental champion, needed only 2:28 to stop veteran Byron “Мядзведзь” Polley(30-22-1, 13 КО). 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 КО) rebounded from being decked, as well as a pre-fight cut, to knockout 361-pound Рычард “Silverback” Кармак (15-12-1, 12 КО) у другім туры. Alexander suffered a cut on his shin that resulted from a step breaking as he entered the ring.
Milwaukee junior middleweight Akeem Black (3-1, 1 KO) won three of four rounds on all three judges’ scorecards for a four-round unanimous decision over Marcus Neal (2-2, 2 КО).
Wichita light heavyweight Jeff Strum pitched a shutout in his pro debut against Topeka’s (Канзас) previously unbeaten Chris Ortega (3-1-1), winning all four rounds in impressive fashion.

PARK CITY, Канзас (Жнівень 10, 2017) – KO Night Boxing LLC and Hartman Arena hosted a private media luncheon today to announce the return of 2016 Бронзавы прызёр Алімпійскіх гульняў Ніка Hernandez for his third professional fight on Субота, Верасня 23, хэдлайнерамі “KO Night бокса: Step Up!” на Хартмана Arena у Парк-Сіці, Канзас.

Wichita-native Hernandez (2-0, 2 КО) will face the stiffest test of his young pro career, Mexican flyweight Францыска “Воін” Lapizco (8-5, 2 КО), in the six-round main event.
“I’m very fortunate that my promoter, John Andersen(KO Night бокса), 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. Відавочна, 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 25й, Hernandez knocked out Patrick Gutierrez у чацвёртым раўндзе, and this past June 17й at Hartman Arena, the 21-year-old U.S. Olympian stopped previously undefeated Jose Rodriguez in the third round of the main event.

“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 23й that will bring national attention, not only for Nico, but to Wichita.
