In association with Kansas Star Casino, KO Night Boxing LLC is the licensed promoter of “קאָ נאַכט באָקסינג: History Begins”, which is being sponsored by Miller Lite, Mel Hambelton FORD and TITLE Boxing.
The 25-year-old Macias (14-0, 8 קאָס), fighting out of Palm Desert, קאַליפאָרניאַ, נעמט אויף “גאַטעקעעפּער” Soriano (26-34-1, 16 קאָס) in the opening televised bout. The extremely aggressive fighting Macias, who is the reigning World Boxing Council’s (וובק) United States junior middleweight champion, is currently ranked No. 13 by the United States Boxing Association (USBA).
בעקיצער, Macias is an energized-bunny boxer, always going forward, 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. דעמאָלט, 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 (על), who pushes me. I never reach a plateau in workouts. We even steal workouts from other gyms. אָבער, boxing is 80-percent mental and with the Adrenalin rush from fighting in front of large crowds, מענטאַלי, 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 ראָלאַנדאָ 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, צו. I’m not a פלויד (Mayweather Jr.)-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 “גאַטעקעעפּער,” he has tested the likes of world title challengers דזשין ווער און Ionut Dan Ion, as well as top contenders such as קעווין ביזיער און Logan McGuinness.

Make or break fight for underdog vs.
2016 Olympic bronze medalist Nico Hernandez
מאַרץ 25 on CBS Sports Network live from Kansas Star Arena
MULVANE, קאַנסאַס (פעברואַר 23, 2017) – פליוועיגהט Patrick Gutierrez is going into his nationally-televised, הויפּט געשעעניש שאָודאַון, מאַרץ 25 in Kansas with high expectations against pro-debuting 2016 Olympic junior flyweight bronze medalist ניקאָ הערנאַנדעז. Gutierrez is training hard in Las Vegas for his scheduled six-round “Knockout Night Boxing: History Begins” headline bout to derail hometown hero Hernandez’ coming out party
“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. אָבער, I also saw some flaws from the fight that he lost. He’s in trouble if he hasn’t corrected those flaws.”
“Knockout Night Boxing: History Begins” will air live on קבס ספורט נעטוואָרק. בייַ 9:00 פּ.ם. און from Kansas Star Arena in Mulvane, קאַנסאַס. Knockout Night Boxing LLC is the licensed promoter of the March 25טה געשעעניש, in association with Kansas Star Casino, and it is sponsored by Miller Lite, Mel Hambelton FORD and TITLE Boxing.
The CBS Sports Network all-star announcing team for “History Begins” will include Hall-of-Famer Jim “J.R.” Ross, שאָן כווילאַק און Joey Varner. Justin Roberts will be the ring announcer.
הערנאַנדעז, 21, was a highly-decorated amateur boxer (94-5) who is like a sports franchise in his hometown of Wichita.
A national Taekwondo champion as a youngster, Gutierrez played football in high school, at least until he realized that he had stopped growing, eliminating the possibility that he’d ever play college football. He had always liked combat sports and decided to try boxing.
“I fell in love with boxing right away,” Gutierrez admitted. “I live in the fight capital of the world, לאַס וועגאַס, און פלויד מייַוועאַטהער (דזשוניער.) was at his prime there when I first started boxing. I boxed in California (אָראַנדזש קאָונטי) 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. אַזוי, I just focused on training. I broke my wrist in the second round of my first fight but decided to stick with boxing. Six months later, 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 מאַרץ 11 ווען (פאַרשפּרייטער) 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.”
The eight-round co-feature shapes up as a southpaw battle between a rooster and bull. Rising junior middleweight star Neeco “Rooster” Macias (14-0, 8 קאָס) puts his undefeated record on the line against dangerous Arturo “אל טאָראָ” Crespin (13-8-1, 4 קאָס). Macias is a showman from Palm Desert, קאַליפאָרניאַ, whose non-stop style makes him an instant fan favorite wherever he fights. His “Rooster” persona will be perfect for his first pro fight in Kansas.
Kansas cruiserweight Jeff Page, דזשוניער. (17-3, 11 קאָס), will open the televised portion of card in a six-round bout against an opponent to be determined.
Scheduled to fight on the non-televised undercard, in separate four-round matches, are four Kansas boxers: Kansas State junior middleweight champion Efrain Morales (4-0, 1 קאָ), יבער מידדלעוועיגהט Marcio Navarro and featherweight Eric Vargas (1-0, 1 קאָ). They will all face opponents to be determined.
