PALM CITY, கன்சாஸ் (செப்டம்பர் 24, 2017) – The name of last night’s “கோ இரவு குத்துச்சண்டை: Step Up” event certainly was appropriate as 2016 ஒலிம்பிக்கில் வெண்கலப் பதக்கம் வென்றவர் நிகோ ஹெர்னாண்டஸ் had to overcome a major obstacle to remain undefeated at Hartman Arena in Palm City, கன்சாஸ்.
“கோ இரவு குத்துச்சண்டை: 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.
செயின்ட். 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 பவுண்டுகள், Baratov was 112, which was the contracted weight. The Kansas Athletic Commission, எனினும், 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 கோச்) MMA யிலுள்ள, including a 55-second stoppage of 14-7-1 Cody Land இந்த ஜூலை மாதம்.
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 கோச்).
“They (his corner and fans) were nervous,” the 21-year-old Hernandez said after the fight, “ஆனால் நான் இல்லை. My coach (father Lewis Hernandez) told me to feint and go in, but I lunged a little too much. ஏய், 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,” மேம்படுத்துவதற்கு John Andersen கருத்து. “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 டிசம்பர் 2 to headline another show at Hartman Arena.
