Olympic bronze medalist Nico Hernandez Riding on the fast track

 


לאַס וועגאַס (יוני 26, 2017)
Fresh off his sensational stoppage of previously undefeated דזשאָסע “Mexican Diablo” ראַדריגעז, 2016 Olympic bronze medalist ניקאָ הערנאַנדעז is riding the fast track to stardom on an exciting journey that’s just really started.
In the June 17טה “קאָ נאַכט באָקסינג: Rapid Fire” הויפּט געשעעניש, which aired live on CBS Sports Network from Hartman Arena in Park City, קאַנסאַס, Hernandez improved his record to 2-0 (2 קאָס), dropping Rodriguez three times and closing the show in the third round..
The 21-year-old Hernandez, קאַמף אויס פון וויטשיטאַ, is already proving to be a better professional boxer that he was an amateur, despite all his accomplishments and achievements in the non-paying ranks, firing effective combinations from a wide variety of angles, including punishing body shots and devastating, powerful punches to his opponent’s head.
Because Hernandez fights in the featherweight division, which is void of overwhelming talent and lacks top-notch Americans, along with his amateur pedigree and experience fighting boxers with different styles, Hernandez can likely crack the world ratings this year, possibily getting a world title shot in 2018.
I did my thing tonight,” Hernandez said after his June 17טה קאַמף. “I’ve fought the best at the Olympics, so I wasn’t worried about what he (ראַדריגעז) ער האט. This fight was a little personal because he’d said he was knocking me out. I got tired of him and went into the ring trying to take him out. We can be friends now.
I just need to stay on path and I will. I’ve been on the top since I started boxing when I was nine. I want to do what other Olympians like (אַנדערער) קעסטקינד און (וואַסיל) Lomanchenko have donebecome world champion!”
The highest-rated flyweight in the world today is 36-year-old Brian Viloria (37-5, 22 קאָס), the 4-time, 2-division world champion and 2000 יוז. אָלימפּיאַן. Considering his advanced age for a boxer, די “Hawaian Punchwill probably be retired by the time Hernandez is ready for a world title shot, leaving Oscar Cantu און Miguel Cartagena as the only American featherweights currently rated among the top 25 אין דער וועלט.
Nico was great in his last fight and everybody is seeing what we want to do with him,” Hernadez’ פאַרשפּרייטער John Andersen (קאָ נאַכט באָקסינג) אנגעוויזן. “We need to step up the competition for him in his next fight, which will probably be his last six-round bout. Our plan is one more six and then an eight-rounder for the vacant World Boxing Council (וובק) International Youth featherweight title. But Nico has options because he can easily drop down to junior flyweight or move up to super flyweight. We’ll take things fight-by-fight with him with an eye on the immediate future for a world title fight.
The featherweight division, רעכט איצט, is led by a pair of stars, Kazuto Ioka, of Japan, and Filipino Donnie Nietes. The future of lower weight-classes may very well belong to Nico Hernandez.

Aston Palicte (ר) won a 10-round split decision over “ליל”” Oscar Cantu
לאַס וועגאַס (דעצעמבער 17, 2016) – Tonight’s final round of the 2016 “Knockout Night at the D” series ended in typical style as MightyAston Palicte won a 10-round split decision over previously undefeated Lil'Oscar Cantu in a terrific super flyweight match from start to finish inside the ונטערשטאָט לאַס וועגאַס עווענץ צענטראַל indoor facility.
די “Knockout Night at the D” סעריע, presented by די ד לאַס וועגאַסand Down town Las Vegas Events Center, was promoted by Roy Jones Jr. (RJJ) Boxing Promotions. This evening’s seventh and finalKnockout at the Devent in 2016 aired live on קבס ספורט נעטוואָרק and streamed worldwide on FloBoxing.tv
The Palicte vs. Cantu main event, as expected, was a classic match-up of contrasting styles between a dangerous puncher (Palicte) and consummate boxer (Cantu). There was surprising non-stop action from the opening bell. Power punching Palicte (22-2, 18 קאָס) pressed the action as the clear aggressor, but Cantu stood in the pocket, צו, as the technician used his defensive skills to make things difficult for his world rated Filipino opponent.
לעסאָף, it all came down to the 10טה קייַלעכיק, which Palicte swept on all three judgesscorecards for a hard-fought split decision victory by scores of 98-92, 96-94, 94-96. Palicte, רייטאַד ניט קיין. 11 by the International Boxing Federation (יבף) און ניט קיין. 15 דורך די וועלט באָקסינג אָרגאַניזירונג (וובאָ), took Cantu’s North American Boxing Federation (NABF) title belt in addition to capturing the vacant WBO Inter-Continental strap.
Cantu, וואס איז רייטאַד ניט. 4 as a flyweight by the World Boxing Council (וובק), showed tremendous heart, granite chin and the ability to move extremely well, throwing punches from every conceivable angle. The difference, אָבער, proved to be Palicte’s slugging ability in this classic confrontation in which the puncher barely prevailed against the boxer.
אין די גלויבנס-שטריך, Jamaican junior middleweight NathanielNo ProblemGallimore(16-1-1, 13 קאָס) scored a spectacular first-round knockout of previously unbeaten AngeloBombarderoBaez (15-1-1, 11 קאָס), the Chilean junior middleweight champion.
Gallimore hurt Baez midway through the opening round and then closed the show with vicious left to the liver that dropped Baez to his knees. In obvious pain, he was unable to get to his feet before the 10 count.
Galiimore (pictured above in green), who fights out of Chicago, dedicated the fight to his stablemate, די שפּעט Ed Brown (20-0), who was murdered earlier this month. “I saw a tape of him (Baez) and knew he backed up to the ropes,” Gallimore explained the finish. “I practiced that shot in the gym and I’m very happy with the outcome. I told all my teammates back in Chicago that I was dedicating this fight to Ed Brown.
Los Angeles junior middleweight Flavio Rodriguez (6-0, 5 קאָס) kept his undefeated record intact against previously unbeaten Mexican fighter DilanEl TremendoLoza(5-1, 3 קאָס) in the television opener. ראַדריגעז, who one point during his 4 1/2-year hiatus from the ring weighed 90 pounds more than he entered the ring tonight, won by way of a third-round technical knockout. Loza was hurt by an accidental shot to the base of his head in the third and he was later dropped in the same round by the heavy-handed Rodriguez. שויפעט Jay Nady halted the bout after the third round.
ראַדריגעז (ל) paralyzed Dilan Loza with a liver shot
“פֿאַר די רובֿ טייל,” Rodriguez said, “he didn’t do anything different. I thought I controlled the fight with my jab. My boy, לייב (סאַנטאַ קרוז, friends from LA), was a world champion and I want to get to his level.
In a battle of unbeaten welterweight prospects, כאָומטאַון באַליבט Jeremy “J-Flash” Nichols (7-0-1, 2 קאָס) and San Diego’s קעווין “קאָ” Ottley (3-0-1) fought to a 6-round draw.
Kevin Otttley (ל) & Jeremy Nichols fought to a draw
RJJ-promoted fighters, junior lightweight ראַנדי “די מאַטאַדאָר” Moreno (8-0, 7 קאָס) און באַנטאַמוועיגהט MaxThe Baby-Faced AssassinOrnelas (7-0, 3 קאָס), were both successfully showcased on the undercard.
Fast moving Moreno won his eighth fight in nine months, סטאָפּפּינג “געלט” Mike Fowler (5-4, 2 קאָס) אין דער פערט קייַלעכיק. Moreno improves each fight, showing incredible poise for a 21-year old boxer, and he legitimately rates as a national prospect to watch.
Moreno (ל) kept rolling
Ornelas dropped Jorge Perez (6-5-1, 3 קאָס) in the second round on his way to a shutout decision over four rounds. The 18-year-old Ornelas recorded the seventh win of his 6-month pro career.
Ornelas (ל) איז איצט 7-0 and only 18 יאר אַלט

JimJ.R.Ross און Joey Varner will call all the action live from ringside, ווייַלע Jeff Huston will be the ring announcer and fight-week master of ceremonies.
Cantu vs. Palicte will be contested for two belts as Cantu defends his North American Boxing Federation (NABF) super flyweight championship, in addition to the vacant World Boxing Organization (וובאָ) Inter-Continental super flyweight title.
Rated No. 4 דורך די וועלט באָקסינג קאָונסיל (וובק) as a flyweight, the 25-year-old Cantu (14-0, 1 קאָ) will face the toughest test of his 4+-years professional career in the heavy-handed Palcite, but he’s excited to be headlining this nationally televised show from Las Vegas.
I feel honored to be headlining a card in Las Vegas,” the Texan said. “The opportunity is what every boxer wants because Vegas is the biggest boxing hum in the United States and it has produced great champions in the past. I want to thank Roy Jones Jr. Boxing Promotions for this opportunity.
A victory can help me open doors to the world title and allow me the show everybody what I stand for, which is being God’s humble champion. The outcome of this fight will come down to who wants to win more. I’m sure that adjustments will need to be made throughout the fight. יעדער וועג, I am well prepared to get this victory.
Palicte (21-2, 18 קאָס) is a dangerous Filipino fighter who is world rated at No. 11 by the International Boxing Federation (יבף) און ניט קיין. 15 דורך די וובאָ. Now training in Los Angeles, Palicte is looking forward to making his American debut דעצעמבער. 17.
“איך בין טאַקע יקסייטאַד,” he remarked. “I’ve been training o hard, pushing myself to the limit, because I also want to excel as much as the other Filipino fighters. I am grateful for this opportunity to fight in the main event. Knowing he is undefeated, this is going to be an exciting, challenging fight.
I’ve always dreamed of fighting for the world title and I’m taking things one step at a time. Through my promoter, RJJ, it was mentioned that there’s a big possibility for a world title challenge in 2017 if I win this fight. I’ve fought some quality fighters and I think I can do what I want in the ring, though I won’t say it’s going to be easy to control the fight.
Styles made fights and a classic match-up between a consummate boxer (Cantu) and powerful puncher (Palicte) guarantees an intriguing fight that should be highly entertaining and incredibly competitive. Both fighters also respect each other.
Palicte brings an impressive record and a lot of experience,” Cantu noted. “The road to a world title is a tough one, which means no easy opponents. I am really excited about this challenge. This is a classic fight because of our styles and I am sure we won’t let the viewing public down. I am ready to become the next great American champion in this weight class.
Cantu is a smart boxer,” Palicte added. “I’d compare him to Ismael Garnica, who I fought in our Showdown at Sands in Macau. (Palicte won by way of a seventh-round TKO.) ער (Cantu) is kind of a runner, צו, always moving around the ring, but we can never tell one’s ability until we’ve fought.
This is going to be an exciting fight. I’m really looking forward to getting a hold of those belts. Cantu is also a good boxer but with my experience and power, I think I have much more advantages than him. I know he’s also doing his best training, אַזוי, it’s going to be a really good fight come December 17טה.”
