PALM CITY, કેન્સાસ (સપ્ટેમ્બર 24, 2017) – The name of last night’s “: KO નાઇટ મુક્કાબાજી: Step Up” event certainly was appropriate as 2016 ઓલિમ્પિક બ્રોન્ઝ મેડલ જીત્યો નિકો હર્નાન્ડેઝ had to overcome a major obstacle to remain undefeated at Hartman Arena in Palm City, કેન્સાસ.
“: KO નાઇટ મુક્કાબાજી: 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.
સેન્ટ. 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 પાઉન્ડ, Baratov was 112, which was the contracted weight. The Kansas Athletic Commission, જો કે, 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 કોસ) એમએમએ માં, including a 55-second stoppage of 14-7-1 Cody Land આ ભૂતકાળમાં જુલાઈ.
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 કોસ).
“They (his corner and fans) were nervous,” the 21-year-old Hernandez said after the fight, “પરંતુ હું ન હતી. My coach (father લેવિસ હર્નાન્ડેઝ) told me to feint and go in, but I lunged a little too much. અરે, I’m staying in my division (Flyweight) 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,” પ્રમોટર John Andersen ટિપ્પણી. “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 ડિસેમ્બર 2 to headline another show at Hartman Arena.
