MULVANE, 五月. (五月 21, 2018) — History was made this past Saturday night on the “SUPERBOX LIVE: High Stakes” pay-per-view card, 什麼時候 2016 Olympic bronze medalist and local hero, 尼科·埃爾南德斯, knocked out Hungarian challenger Szilveszter “沉默刺客” Kanalas in the opening round to capture the vacant International Boxing Association (IBA) Flyweight World Championship in only his fifth professional fight, 在堪薩斯星競技場Mulvane, 堪薩斯州.
In the first world title fight ever held in Kansas, 埃爾南德斯 (5-0, 4 科斯) overwhelmed Kanalas (14-7, 9 科斯), the former World Boxing Federation (WBF) super flyweight world champion, to become the youngest (22) IBA world champion ever, as well as setting the record for the fewest pro fights needied to become IBA world titlist.
SUPERBOX LIVE: High Stakes was launched as Super Channel’s new live boxing series,SUPERBOX LIVE, 與聯想 KO Night Boxing LLC, and it aired live exclusively in Canada on Super Channel.
Integrated Sports Media distributed “SUPERBOX LIVE: High Stakes” 在美國使用電纜, satellite and digital pay-per-view as it was live-streamed worldwide on FITE.TV 應用程式和網站 (不包括加拿大).
Hernandez was aggressive from the opening bell, pounding Kanalas’ head and body. A Hernandez left hook to the body really hurt Kanalas, who went down from a right that followed the vicious liver shot. Kanalas beat Hall of Fame 史蒂夫·斯莫傑‘s count, and it was only a matter of time before Hernandez would end the fight. It came soon, right after another body-and-head combination put the over-matched Hungarian on the mat for the second and final time.
“A lot of people underestimate my power,” Hernandez said after the fight. “I believe that once he felt my power, I don’t think he wanted it anymore. I felt like I took his heart away. I was patient, I wanted it to go a few rounds to see what he had, but I took his heart away. I can’t really be disappointed because I am a world champion now.”
“Nico was explosive Saturday night and he showed killer instinct,” 促進者 John Andersen 評論. “He was going to box, but I think he smelled fear, and Nico got into Kanalas’ head. He sensed it and jumped on him.”
Before he left the ring, Hernandez took the microphone in the center of the ring and called out three-time Olympian and two-time Olympic bronze medalist, “愛爾蘭的” Paddy Barnes (5-0, 1 KO), who was the favored to win a gold medal in the flyweight division at the 2016 奧運會. He was eliminated in the round of 16 and Hernandez took home the bronze medal. “There’s a bronze medalist from (Northern) 愛爾蘭, Paddy Barnes, and that’s who I’d really love to fight.”
“I think that’s a fight we should start a conversation about,” Andersen remarked. “It’s not line Barnes is 21 (他 31) and I don’t know of a lot of 30 or older flyweights. It makes a lot of sense and can be a big fight. They’re both Olympic bronze medalist, already fought in scheduled 10 和 12 round fights, and have belts. (Barnes is the WBO Intercontinental flyweight champ). Nico needs to step up in terms of competition, 太. I think they should get in the ring and then we can see what happens.
“If they don’t want to make this fight right away, maybe we can build it up by putting them on the same card, and then fight next year. This fight makes a lot of sense for both fighters and Nico has already said he wants to fight Barnes.”
Hernandez joined reigning IBA world champions, 輕重量級 謝爾蓋·科瓦廖夫 and junior middleweight 馬克·德盧卡, as well as past IBA world champions such as Hall of Famers 霍亞, 喬治·福爾曼, 羅伯托·杜蘭 和 阿圖羅·加蒂, in addition to stars羅伊·瓊斯, 小, 伯納德·霍普金斯大學, 巴蒂爾莫斯利, 詹姆斯·托尼, Mikkel Kessler, Eric Morales, 科拉萊斯迭戈, 何塞·路易斯·卡斯蒂略, 格倫 - 約翰遜 和 安東尼奧·塔弗.
2011 Russia Junior Championships gold medalist Andrey Afonin (6-0, 3 科斯) kept his undefeated record in tact when Pedro “El Reguilete” 羅德里格斯 (23-4, 19 科斯), the Cuban native and former World Boxing Association (WBA) Fedalatin cruiserweight champion, was unable to answer the bell in the third round of the co-featured event.
Unbeaten Ukrainian heavyweight 奧列克Teslenko (13-0, 11 科斯), promoted by DiBella Entertainment and fighting out of Toronto, 停 Terrance “Big Jim” Marbra (9-6, 7 科斯) in the second round.
Undefeated Washington featherweight Victor Morales, JR. (9-0, 5 科斯) was too much forDavid Berna (15-4, 14 科斯), of Hungary, who complained of an elbow injury and lost by way of a second-round technical knockout, 在首戰電視.
In the television swing bout, which was held prior to the main event, popular Wichita junior welterweight Jeff Strum (3-0, 2 科斯) kept the train rollin’ with a second-round knockout of Nigeria-native Archie Weah (2-11).
In the most competitive fight of the night, as well as the lone match that went the complete distance, 聖. Louis cruiserweight Leroy Jones (3-3, 2 科斯) won a four-round unanimous decision over Kansas City, KS favorite Chris Harris (2-3-2, 2 科斯).
