A los 22 años de edad, Hernández (4-0, 3 KOs) stopped last-minute replacement, juego Víctor “El Torito” Torres, en la quinta ronda.
Hernández’ oponente original, Hungarian champion Joseph Ajtai (19-9, 12 KOs), never made it to Wichita due to a series of unfortunate circumstances. Ajtai lost one day in Frankfurt, Alemania, after leaving his passport on the plane he took from Budapest. Once he landed in Chicago El miércoles, 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,” promotor John Andersen dicho. “Una vez más, Nico made the proper adjustment that can be credited to his amateur pedigree. En los aficionados, 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’ la seguridad.
“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 (cinturón de título) 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 (cinturón de título).”
En el evento co estelar, welter Minneapolis Javonte Starks (13-2, 7 KOs) and Mexican veteran Cesar Soriano (28-36-2, 17 KOs) fought to a six-round majority draw.

KO Night Boxing signs “El dragón” Popular Canadian junior welterweight Steve Claggett

Deja un comentario

LAS VEGAS (Enero 25, 2018) — KO Night Boxing LLC announced it has signed popular Canadian junior welterweight Steve “El dragón” Claggett en un contrato promocional exclusivo.

The Las Vegas-based company also has 2016 Olympic bronze medalist and undefeated Wichita flyweight, Nico Hernandez (3-0), 2 KOs), among its growing stable of professional boxers.
El Claggett de 28 años (26-4-1, 17 KOs), peleando fuera de 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), incluyendo un par de decisiones de 10 rondas ganadoras del título sobre oponentes previamente invictos,Yves Ulysse, Jr. (14-0) por el vacante Federación Internacional de Boxeo (FIB) Título superligero norteamericano, así como Emmanuel Robles (15-0-1) por el vacante Asociación Mundial de Boxeo (AMB) Corona superligera de NABA USA.
“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, aunque. 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, pero soy 3-0 with him and have won two belts. Soy un luchador de la vieja escuela, 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. “Estoy emocionado. Steve deserves this opportunity and we’re going to deliver for him.
“Steve is an action fighter, siempre avanzando, 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, Diciembre. 16, 2017 en 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 adicional. “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’ realmente es. 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, dondequiera, 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, quizás, against a legitimate fighter’s fighter like Steve.

2016 medallista de bronce olímpico Nico Hernández & Hungarian champion Jozsef Ajtai have taken different paths into pro ranks

“KO Noche de Boxeo: Oro & Gloria” para
vacant IBA Americas flyweight title
Diciembre. 2 a Hartman Arena en Park City, Kansas
PARK CITY, Kansas (Noviembre 20, 2017) – USA Olympian and hometown hero Nico Hernandez and Hungarian flyweight champion Jozsef “Little Red” Ajtai took completely different paths into the professional ranks.
Hernández vs, Ajtai is the eight-round main event for the vacant International Boxing Association (IBA) Américas de peso mosca pelea por el título, Sábado noche, Diciembre 2, en el “KO Noche de Boxeo: Oro & Gloria” tarjeta, a Hartman Arena en Park City, Kansas.
“KO Noche de Boxeo: Oro & Gloria” es una presentación de la Noche KO Boxing LLC., en asociación con Hartman Arena, y patrocinado en parte por Twister City Harley-Davidson metro PCS, Bar de puros de Mort yJimmy’s Egg.
La acción será grabado en vivo para el futuro emitido por más de CBS Sports Network.
The 21-year-old Hernandez (3-0, 2 KOs), luchando fuera de Wichita, was a decorated amateur boxer who compiled a sterling 123-12 registro, highlighted by his bronze-medal winning performance at the 2016 Juegos Olímpicos en Brasil. Hernandez made his pro debut last March. All his fights have been at home, each has been in the main event, y en la televisión nacional. His fight against Ajtai, sin embargo, will be his first title fight, coming in only his fourth pro bout.
Ajtai, que es de un año y seis días más joven que Hernández, made his professional debut 2 Hace ½ años, and he’s already fought in five title fights.
Hernández’ amateur pedigree versus Ajtai’s pro experience?
“I feel like I’m already at the level of a lot of top pro fighters,” Hernandez dijo. 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, Ojalá, back here at home to help us continue building Wichita into a fight town.”
Ajtai (19-9, 12 KOs) has already had 28 peleas como profesional, 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 Zou Shiming, la antigua Organización Mundial de Boxeo (OMB) campeón mundial de peso mosca. The Hungarian has fought at home in Hungary, as well as on the road in the United Kingdom, España, Alemania, Ucrania y Eslovaquia. 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 2nd. When my condition is good, as it is for this fight, nobody likes to fight me.
“Esta es una gran oportunidad para mí. 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 (vs. 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. y, like I’ve said, I don’t plan on this fight going the distance.”
Ajtai, por supuesto, isn’t traveling all the way to Kansas to visit Dorothy or the Wizard of Oz, él viene de ganar!
“Nico no sabrá dónde estaré en el ring,” Ajtai predijo. “Cuando mira a la izquierda para mí, Voy a ir a la derecha; cuando se trata de encontrar yo a la derecha, Yo estaré a la izquierda. Cuando quiere descansar, Voy a pasar al frente de perforación; cuando quiere perforar, él no me va a encontrar.
“Tengo un plan para esta pelea y estoy seguro de que también lo hace. Pero, en el ring, Sólo el plan de un combatiente puede tener éxito. Va a ser una buena pelea, pero no puedo prometer al público que Nico será el ganador.”
El lleno “Oro & Gloria” card will be announced later this week. Todas las peleas y los luchadores están sujetos a cambio.

“KO Noche de Boxeo: Oro & Gloria” a Hartman Arena en Park City, Kansas

Tony Schock / GS Memory Maker

PARK CITY, KANSAS (Octubre 23, 2017) – 2016 medallista de bronce olímpico Nico Hernandez will be fighting for his first professional title on Sábado, Diciembre 2, when he takes on Hungarian invaderJozsef “Little Red” Ajtai en el evento principal de ocho asaltos por el vacante Asociación Internacional de Boxeo (IBA) Flyweight Championship, como cabeza de cartel “KO Noche de Boxeo: Oro & Gloria” a Hartman Arena en Park City, Kansas.

“KO Noche de Boxeo: Oro & Gloria” es una presentación de la Noche KO Boxing LLC., en asociación con Hartman Arena, y patrocinado en parte por Twister City Harley-Davidson metro PCS, Bar de puros de Mort y Jimmy Egg.

La acción será grabado en vivo para el futuro emitido por más de CBS Sports Network.
The 21-year-old Hernandez (3-0, 2 KOs), luchando fuera de Wichita, 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 23rd, Hernandez was forced to fight late replacement Kendrick “Uprising” Latchman who outweighed the celebrated American Olympian by more than 10 libra. Hernandez won a six-round unanimous decision by scores of 60-54 y 59-55 dos veces.
Despite being younger than Hernandez by almost a year to the day, Ajtai (19-9, 12 KOs) has already had 28 peleas como profesional, including a full 10-round distance loss by decision last year to two-time Olympic gold medalist Zou Shiming, la antigua Organización Mundial de Boxeo (OMB) campeón mundial de peso mosca.
“Con mucho, Nico is fighting the toughest opponent of his pro career,” Hernández’ promotor John Andersen (“KO Night Boxing LLC) dicho. “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 libra.
“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. En la división de peso mosca, 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.

“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.
