MULVANE, Травня. (Травня 21, 2018)History was made this past Saturday night on theSUPERBOX LIVE: High Stakespay-per-view card, коли 2016 Olympic bronze medalist and local hero, Ніко Hernandez, knocked out Hungarian challenger Szilveszter “Silent Assassin” Kanalas in the opening round to capture the vacant International Boxing Association (IBA) Flyweight World Championship in only his fifth professional fight, в Канзас Star Arena в Mulvane, Канзас.

 

 

 

In the first world title fight ever held in Kansas, Ернандес (5-0, 4 КО) overwhelmed Kanalas (14-7, 9 КО), 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, у зв'язку з KO Night Boxing LLC, and it aired live exclusively in Canada on Super Channel.

 

 

 

Integrated Sports Media distributedSUPERBOX LIVE: High Stakesin the United States on cable, satellite and digital pay-per-view as it was live-streamed worldwide on FITE.TV app and website (excluding Canada).

 

 

 

Hernandez was aggressive from the opening bell, pounding Kanalashead 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 Steve Smoger‘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,” промоутер John Andersen прокоментував. “He was going to box, but I think he smelled fear, and Nico got into Kanalashead. 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, “Ірландський” Paddy Barnes (5-0, 1 KO), who was the favored to win a gold medal in the flyweight division at the 2016 Олімпійські ігри. He was eliminated in the round of 16 and Hernandez took home the bronze medal. “There’s a bronze medalist from (Northern) Ірландія, 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 (він 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 і 12 round fights, and have belts. (Barnes is the WBO Intercontinental flyweight champ). Nico needs to step up in terms of competition, занадто. 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, напівважку вагу Сергій Ковальов and junior middleweight Mark DeLuca, as well as past IBA world champions such as Hall of Famers Оскар де ла Хойя, Джордж Форман, Роберто Дюран і Артуро Гатті, in addition to starsРой Джонс, Молодший, Бернард Хопкінс, Шейн Мослі, Джеймс Тоні, Mikkel Kessler, Eric Morales, Дієго Корралес, Хосе Луїс Кастільо, Глен Джонсон і Антоніо Тарвер.

 

 

 

2011 Russia Junior Championships gold medalist Andrey Afonin (6-0, 3 КО) kept his undefeated record in tact when PedroEl Reguilete” Родрігес (23-4, 19 КО), 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 Олександр Тесленко (13-0, 11 КО), promoted by DiBella Entertainment and fighting out of Toronto, зупинився TerranceBig JimMarbra (9-6, 7 КО) у другому турі.

 

 

 

Undefeated Washington featherweight Victor Morales, Молодший. (9-0, 5 КО) was too much forDavid Berna (15-4, 14 КО), of Hungary, who complained of an elbow injury and lost by way of a second-round technical knockout, in the televised opener.

 

 

 

In the television swing bout, which was held prior to the main event, popular Wichita junior welterweight Jeff Strum (3-0, 2 КО) kept the train rollinwith 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, Вулиця. Louis cruiserweight Leroy Jones (3-3, 2 КО) won a four-round unanimous decision over Kansas City, KS favorite Chris Harris (2-3-2, 2 КО).

Лютого. 10 на Хартмана Arena в Парк-Сіті, Канзас
PARK CITY, Канзас (Листопад 27, 2017) – Due to an injury suffered by 2016 Бронзовий призер Олімпійських ігор Ніко Hernandez last week at training camp, в цю суботу ніч “KO Night боксу: золото & Слава” карта, presented by KO Night Boxing LLC, has been postponed until Лютого 10, at the same venue, Hartman Arena in Park City, Канзас.

The promoter plans to keep the card intact, as much as possible, and he is hopeful that Ajtai is available to challenge Hernandez for the IBA Americas title.
Injuries are an unfortunate part of boxing, but the good news is that Nico will be 100-percent ready to go February 10ї,” промоутер John Andersen сказав. “I know that Nico feels that he’s letting everybody down but, at the end of the day, all that really counts is his health.

2016 Olympic bronze medalist Nico Hernandez & Hungarian champion Jozsef Ajtai have taken different paths into pro ranks

“KO Night боксу: золото & Слава” для
vacant IBA Americas flyweight title
Грудня. 2 на Хартмана Arena в Парк-Сіті, Канзас
PARK CITY, Канзас (Листопад 20, 2017) – USA Olympian and hometown hero Ніко Hernandez and Hungarian flyweight champion Йожеф “Червона” Ajtai took completely different paths into the professional ranks.
Hernandez vs, Ajtai is the eight-round main event for the vacant International Boxing Association (IBA) Americas flyweight title fight, Субота ніч, Грудня 2, на “KO Night боксу: золото & Слава” карта, на Хартмана Arena в Парк-Сіті, Канзас.
“KO Night боксу: золото & Слава” є презентація KO Night боксу LLC., в зв'язку з Хартмана Arena, і автори частково Twister City Harley-Davidson Metro PCS, Mort’s Cigar Bar іJimmy’s Egg.
Дія буде тасьмою жити для майбутнього виходу в ефір на CBS Sports Network.
The 21-year-old Hernandez (3-0, 2 КО), борються Вічіта, was a decorated amateur boxer who compiled a sterling 123-12 запис, highlighted by his bronze-medal winning performance at the 2016 Олімпійські ігри в Бразилії. Hernandez made his pro debut last March. All his fights have been at home, each has been in the main event, and on national television. His fight against Ajtai, проте, will be his first title fight, coming in only his fourth pro bout.
Ajtai, який один рік і шість днів молодше Hernandez, made his professional debut 2 ½ years ago, and he’s already fought in five title fights.
Ернандес’ amateur pedigree versus Ajtai’s pro experience?
I feel like I’m already at the level of a lot of top pro fighters,” Hernandez said. The only advantage he has is he’s used to fighting more rounds than I (this is Nico’s first scheduled 8-rounder), but I don’t plan on letting it go the distance anyways.
I feel blessed to have this IBA title fight opportunity so early in my pro career. It honestly couldn’t come any faster. I do believe it will be special and open a tot of opportunities to fight bigger names once I win this fight. A win should open-up additional title fight opportunities, both overseas and, сподіваюся, back here at home to help us continue building Wichita into a fight town.
Ajtai (19-9, 12 КО) has already had 28 про бої, including a full 10-round distance loss by decision last year at Madison Square Garden in New York City to two-time Olympic gold medalist Shiming Цзоу, колишній Всесвітньої боксерської організації (WBO) найлегшій вазі світу. The Hungarian has fought at home in Hungary, as well as on the road in the United Kingdom, Іспанія, Німеччина, Україна і Словаччина. A trip to America’s heartland doesn’t faze him in the least.
He will be at home, where everybody wants to fight, but this isn’t a problem for me,” Ajtai explained. “I know he is a good boxer, but I will try to be a bit better December 2ї. When my condition is good, as it is for this fight, nobody likes to fight me.
“Це велика можливість для мене. It’s always difficult to beat a good fighter but doing so is real success. Fighting Shiming Zou in only my fourth fight was very nice for me. I want that feeling again in this fight against Nico.
Hernandez realizes that this fight could be his last at home for a while, due to the lack of quality American flyweights, and that most world-class fighters in his weight class are from Central America, Thailand and Japan.
I don’t think I’ll have many more fights at home,” Hernandez admits. “I don’t think that will matter too much because I feel more pressure fighting at home than elsewhere. I will miss everyone cheering my name like they do at home. I think I’ll be traveling more to fight bigger names to work my way up the ladder until I’m at the top.
I think the early rounds in this fight (проти. Ajtai) will be a chess match because, from what I’ve seen, he runs a lot. I feel that once I start landing my body shots, he’ll slowdown in the latter rounds. і, like I’ve said, I don’t plan on this fight going the distance.
Ajtai, звичайно, isn’t traveling all the way to Kansas to visit Dorothy or the Wizard of Oz, він приходить, щоб виграти!
“Ніко не знатиме, де я буду в кільці,” Ajtai передбачив. “Коли він дивиться вліво для мене, Я піду направо; коли він намагається знайти мене на правій, Я буду на лівому. Коли він хоче відпочити, Прийду вперед штампування; коли він хоче вдарити, він не знайде мене.
“У мене є план для цього бою, і я впевнений, що він робить, а. Але, в кільці, тільки план одного бійця може домогтися успіху. Це буде хороший бій, але я не можу обіцяти громадськості, що Ніко буде переможцем.”
The full “золото & Слава” card will be announced later this week. Всі бої і бійці можуть бути змінені.

The 21-year-old Hernandez (3-0, 2 КО), борються Вічіта, will be fighting in a scheduled eight-round bout for the first time. His three pro fights to date were all scheduled for six rounds and each was held in Kansas, the last two in his second home, Hartman Arena.
In his last fight this past September 23ї, Hernandez was forced to fight late replacement Kendrick “Uprising” Latchman who outweighed the celebrated American Olympian by more than 10 фунти. Hernandez won a six-round unanimous decision by scores of 60-54 і 59-55 двічі.
Despite being younger than Hernandez by almost a year to the day, Ajtai (19-9, 12 КО) has already had 28 про бої, including a full 10-round distance loss by decision last year to two-time Olympic gold medalist Shiming Цзоу, колишній Всесвітньої боксерської організації (WBO) найлегшій вазі світу.
By far, Nico is fighting the toughest opponent of his pro career,” Ернандес’ промоутер John Andersen (“KO Night Boxing LLC) сказав. “Ajtai has much more experience as a pro than Nico, plus he went the distance against a two-time Olympic gold medalist, Zou. Ajtai is a busy fighter with a good knockout ratio (63%). This fight is going to tell us a lot about Nico, especially his power at 112 фунти.
Nico fighting for a title in only his fourth pro fight proves that all our hard efforts of KO Night Boxing and Team Nico has paid off quickly and we’re grateful that the IBA has given him this great opportunity. I didn’t realize the high quality of champions the IBA has had in the past and we’re proud that Nico can someday join this group. In the flyweight division, Nico may enter world title fight shot discussions earlier than I had originally thought, which was in his third year as a pro. An impressive performance against Ajtai could position him for a world title fight next year with less than 10 fights under his belt.
We’re excited to have an American Olympian fighting for our first Americas title,” IBA PresidentJ.C. Courreges доданої. “Nico Hernandez is an Olympic bronze medalist and we’re hopeful that he will develop into an IBA world champion in the not too distant future.
