PARK CITY, Травня. (Лютого 11, 2018) – U.S. Olympian and hometown favorite Ніко Hernandez captured the vacant International Boxing Association (IBA) Americas flyweight title in his fourth professional fight, headlining last night’s “KO Night боксу” золото & Слава” карта, на Хартмана Arena в Парк-Сіті, Канзас.

Ернандес’ оригінальні супротивника, 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, Німеччина, after leaving his passport on the plane he took from Budapest. Once he landed in Chicago в середу, 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,” промоутер John Andersen сказав. “Ще 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’ безпеку.
“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 (title belt) 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 (title belt).”

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

Залишити коментар

Лас-Вегас (Січень 25, 2018) — KO Night Boxing LLC announced it has signed popular Canadian junior welterweight Стів “The Dragon” Claggett в ексклюзивний рекламний контракт.

The Las Vegas-based company also has 2016 Olympic bronze medalist and undefeated Wichita flyweight, Ніко 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,Ів Ulysse, Молодший. (14-0) за вакантний Міжнародної федерації боксу (IBF) North American super lightweight title, а також 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, хоча. 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 стара школа винищувач, 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 схвильований. 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, Грудня. 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 доданої. “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, всюди, 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, можливо, against a legitimate fighter’s fighter like Steve.

vacant IBA Americas flyweight title
Грудня. 2 на Хартмана Arena в Парк-Сіті, Канзас
PARK CITY, Канзас (Листопад 20, 2017) – USA Olympian and hometown hero Ніко Hernandez and Hungarian flyweight champion Йожеф “Червона” 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 ніч, Грудня 2, на “KO Night боксу: золото & Слава” карта, на Хартмана Arena в Парк-Сіті, Канзас.
“KO Night боксу: золото & Слава” є презентація KO Night боксу LLC., в зв'язку з Хартмана Arena, і автори частково Twister City Harley-Davidson Metro PCS, Mort’s Cigar Bar іJimmy’s Egg.
Дія буде тасьмою жити для майбутнього виходу в ефір на CBS Sports Network.
The 21-year-old Hernandez (3-0, 2 КО), борються Вічіта, was a decorated amateur boxer who compiled a sterling 123-12 запис, highlighted by his bronze-medal winning performance at the 2016 Олімпійські ігри в Бразилії. 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, проте, will be his first title fight, coming in only his fourth pro bout.
Ajtai, який один рік і шість днів молодше Hernandez, made his professional debut 2 ½ years ago, and he’s already fought in five title fights.
Ернандес’ 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, сподіваюся, back here at home to help us continue building Wichita into a fight town.”
Ajtai (19-9, 12 КО) has already had 28 про бої, 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, колишній Всесвітньої боксерської організації (WBO) найлегшій вазі світу. The Hungarian has fought at home in Hungary, as well as on the road in the United Kingdom, Іспанія, Німеччина, Україна і Словаччина. 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 2ї. When my condition is good, as it is for this fight, nobody likes to fight me.
“Це велика можливість для мене. 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 (проти. 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, звичайно, isn’t traveling all the way to Kansas to visit Dorothy or the Wizard of Oz, він приходить, щоб виграти!
“Ніко не знатиме, де я буду в кільці,” Ajtai передбачив. “Коли він дивиться вліво для мене, Я піду направо; коли він намагається знайти мене на правій, Я буду на лівому. Коли він хоче відпочити, Прийду вперед штампування; коли він хоче вдарити, він не знайде мене.
“У мене є план для цього бою, і я впевнений, що він робить, а. Але, в кільці, тільки план одного бійця може домогтися успіху. Це буде хороший бій, але я не можу обіцяти громадськості, що Ніко буде переможцем.”
The full “золото & Слава” card will be announced later this week. Всі бої і бійці можуть бути змінені.

“By far, Nico is fighting the toughest opponent of his pro career,” Ернандес’ промоутер John Andersen (“KO Night Boxing LLC) сказав. “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 фунти.
“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.”

ПРЕС-РЕЛІЗ
“KO NIGHT BOXING” RESULTS FROM KANSAS
PALM CITY, Канзас (Вересень 24, 2017) – The name of last night’s “KO Night боксу: Step Up” event certainly was appropriate as 2016 Бронзовий призер Олімпійських ігор Ніко Hernandez had to overcome a major obstacle to remain undefeated at Hartman Arena in Palm City, Канзас.
“KO Night боксу: 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.
Вулиця. 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 фунти, Baratov was 112, which was the contracted weight. The Kansas Athletic Commission, проте, 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) в ММА, including a 55-second stoppage of 14-7-1 Cody Land в липні цього року.
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 був. My coach (father Lewis Hernandez) told me to feint and go in, but I lunged a little too much. Привіт, I’m staying in my division (муха) 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,” промоутер John Andersen прокоментував. “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 Грудня 2 to headline another show at Hartman Arena.
USBA No. 2- rated featherweight Tramaine “The Might Midget” Вільямс (13-0, 5 КО), fighting out of New Haven (Коннектикут), cruised to his 13ї victory without a defeat, taking a one-sided 10-round unanimous decision over Derrick Murray (13-3, 5 КО), у спільному заході.
Key West, FL welterweight Армандо “Джентльмен: Альварес (17-0, 11 КО) залишився непереможеним, 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 “Ведмідь” 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 Річард “Silverback” Кармак (15-12-1, 12 КО) у другому турі. 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.
