It’s a tough homecoming fight for Marco.”

Romero, currently a promotional free agent, has needed only 17 rounds in his 9 baralles professionals, registering 8 stoppages, including his last six fights in a row. He is set to compete as a middleweight for the first time after previously fighting at super middleweight, his sixth fight in 2025.

“Going down to middleweight has always been the plan,” Romero noted. “My dream is to be a multi-world champion in different weight classes. I’m excited to see how I feel going to middleweight and see how I feel after this fight. Our plan is to go even lower in weight to super welterweight.

“I’m ready and excited to fight 8-rounds. Our opposition will be tougher – we know that – so we are preparing for a hard fought 8-rounder or finish it earlier Either way we are coming Shark Style!"

Proud of his Mexican American heritage, Marco’s boxing idols are Saul “Canelo” Alvarez, Juli Cèsar Chavez i, per descomptat, his namesake, Marc Antoni Barrera. Romero’s ultimate goal is to bring world championship boxing back to Kansas, in order to give back to his community and inspire other young and upcoming boxers from Kansas City, not necessarily just in boxing, but any sport.

Kansas super middleweight prospect Marco “El Tiburón” Romero goes back to the future this Saturday in Portland, Maine

Leave a comment
Kansas City, Maig. (Juny 9, 2025) - Kansas boxing phenom Marco “El Tiburon” Romero (7-0, 6 KOs) started his pro career a year ago on Father’s Day Weekend in Portland, Maine, and he returns there this Saturday night for his third fight in The Forest City.

Despite the Cross Insurance Arena being more than 1,500 miles from his home in Olathe, Kansas, the 19-year-old Romero feels that Portland has become his second home, where he kick-started his pro career, and has developed a surprisingly growing fan base.

Romero stopped Jonathan Gary (2-1) de juny 15, 2024, in the second round at Cross Insurance Arena. L'octubre passat, Romero defeated Orlando Salgado (3-5) in Portland by way of a third-round technical knockout at the Exposition Building.

This Saturday the gifted super middleweight prospect faces “The Conqueror” Nafys Anas Garner (4-2, 3 KOs), fighting out of Sacramento (TAL COM), in a scheduled 6-round bout at Cross Insurance Arena.

“I’m more motivated than ever and couldn’t be happier to see the plan unfolding like we talked about a couple of years ago with Coach John (Marró, manager/head trainer), Uncle Al (Valenti, advisor), el meu pare (Salvatore Romero, entrenador assistent) and Sergio (Flors, entrenador assistent).

“I’m ready and excited to be fighting again in Portland. I would love to bring a world title fight to Portland, where people appreciate good boxing. Traveling to fight is something I’m used to from my amateur days. Portland is like my second home because I’ve been treated so well there by everyone. I have big respect for Bobby Russo (promotor). He’s an amazing guy who has shown me respect from the start. He gave me my Golden Boy (Most Outstanding Boxer Award, Russo is President of the National Golden Gloves), when I won my division at the (2024) National Golden Gloves.”

(L-R) – Bobby Russo & Marco Romero “Marco is excited to be fighting again in his adoptive city of Portland, which has the best fight fans in America,” Brown remarked. “He’s hoping to display the talents that will eventually lead him to a world title. Marco’s been lucky to fight every two months all over America, which is helping him build a national fan base.”

Kansas Athletic Commission overturns ‘No Contest’ to TKO win for undefeated super middleweight prospect Marco Romero

Leave a comment

Kansas City, Maig. (Juny 4, 2025) -The Kansas Athletic Commission has overturned a “no Contest” ruling to a second-round technical knockout victory for 19-year-old boxing phenom Marco“El Tiburón”Romero (7-0, 6 KOs).

Romero, fighting out of Olathe (Kansas), faced Noah Kidd (10-14-2, 5 KOs) al maig 24º in a scheduled six-round bout outdoors at Energy Plaza in downtown Topeka, Kansas.

Romero completely dominated Kidd, who was reluctant to fight once he felt Marco’s strength, and he was floored in the second round. Kidd then claimed he was unable to continue fighting due to an injury he suffered after falling out of the ring.

Marco’s manager/head trainer John Brown immediately filed a protest requesting the “No Contest” be changed to a well-deserved win for Romero. His challenge noted that the alleged injury was not the result of a foul, Romero was physically able and ready to continue the bout, and circumstances surrounding the fall and stoppage warranted further review.

“I’m glad I got that win on my record,", va dir Romero. “I put in a lot of hard work in the gym, running and making sacrifices during training camp. I’m happy the Kansas Athletic Commission took its time, watched the fight and made its ruling. The dude only came to pick up a paycheck.”

The Kansas Athletic Commission reviewed the incident and determined that Kidd’s injury from falling out of the ring was accidental, not caused by Romero. The bout was stopped by the ringside physician for medical reasons. Romero did not violate any rules and was capable of continuing the fight.

Based on the Commissions review of circumstances and applicable regulations, the bout did not meet the threshold for a ‘No Contest’ ruling under Kansas law, as the injury did not arise from a rule violation or external interference.

Considering these findings, the Kansas Athletic Commission ruled to overturn the original rules and amended it as an official recording as a Technical Knockout (QUI) victory in favor of Romero.

“Marco came to fight but his opponent wanted to play rugby, trying to run him over and tackle him,” Brown commented. “His opponent hurt himself with these tactics and upon closer examination, the commission did the right thing.”

Romero’s next scheduled fight is June 14 vs. Nafys Anas Garner in a 6-round super middleweight bout in Portland, Maine.

Undefeated Kansas Boxing Phenom Marco “El Tiburón” Romero to continue touring, Topeka debut May 24

Leave a comment

Kansas City, Maig. (Maig 8, 2025) -The Magical Mystery Tour for Kansas boxing phenom Marco“El Tiburón”Romero (6-0, 5 KOs) will make a new stop on Saturday, Maig 24º, when the 19-year-old super middleweight faces upset specialist Noah Kidd in a six-round bout outdoors at Energy Plaza in downtown Topeka, Kansas.

Not only is this event considerably closer to his Olathe (Kansas) home than anywhere Romero has fought so far as a professional, but it is also a widely successful annual show that has reportedly drawn 8,000 ventiladors.

“I’m super excited, pumped up to fight only a 45-minute drive from my hometown for my fans,", va dir Romero. “They don’t need to drive 15 hours like they have or fly cross country. I’m really going to put on a show for my hometown fans. It’ll be nice to hear hometown fans cheering me on. Other than relatives who live in Denver, I made a few new fans in the other places I’ve fought. They’re starting to know who I am, and it’s really cool for people to come up to me saying they follow me.”

The 29-year-old Kidd (10-13-2, 5 KOs), fighting out of Jefferson, Missouri, recently knocked off then-18-0 Deshawn Prather by way of a 6-round unanimous decision.

“This will be Marco’s seventh fight in a year since turning pro because we have Marco on a fast track due to his vast amateur experience and desire to stay active and improve,” Romero’s legendary manager/trainer John Brown explained. “We are hopeful that Noah Kidd can withstand Marco’s shark (Marco’s nickname, ‘El Tiburón’ means ‘The Shark’ in English) bites and give him several rounds of good work.”

Com a professional, the 23-time national amateur champion Romero has fought in Portland, Maine and Denver twice apiece, Tampa and Atlantic City. His aggressive schedule tentatively continues after Topeka on June 14 a Portland (Maine), Juny 27 a Wichita (Kansas), Juliol 25 a Atlantic City, Setembre 6 in Olathe and back to Portland (Maine) de novembre 8.

“I love fighting this schedule, fighting every month or two,” Romero noted. “Maybe over time with all the wear and tear could tire me. But I was born to box; it’s my dream. Whoever Coach John (Marró) puts in front of me; I tell him I got him.

“I do think about when I’ll be fighting only twice a year for a lot more money than I’m making today. That’s my goal but I’m focused on the present. I’m working hard every day to get better. Al final, I want to walk away from boxing healthy and hopefully wealthy, like Coach John says. I really like this plan.”

“’El Tiburon’ has four, maybe five bouts scheduled for the rest of the year and at that time, or before, we will partner up with one of the highly recognized promotional groups that have been pursuing Marco,” Brown added. “He is a promoter’s dream: jove, handsome, articulate, bilingual, and he has an action-packed style. After watching ‘Canelo’ (Alvarez) last weekend……boxing needs a Marco Romero.”

The Future of Boxing 18-year-old Marco “El Tiburón” Romero Kansas super middleweight returns to ring

Leave a comment
Tonight in Portland, Maine
Kansas City, Maig. (Novembre 7, 2024) - Twenty-three-time national amateur champion, 18-year-old Kansas super middleweight prospect Marco “El Tiburón” Romero (3-0, 2 KOs), returns this Saturday night to the scene of his successful pro debut this past June in Portland, Maine, 1,300 miles northeast of his home in Overland Park, Kansas.

A promotional free agent, Romero is matched against Orlando “El Marro” Salgado (3-5, 2 KOs) in a four-round bout on a card promoted by Bobby Russo’s Portland Boxing Club in Portland’s Exposition Building.

“I had my first pro fight there and I love Portland people, especially Bobby Russo (who is also President of the National Golden Gloves),", va dir Romero. “I loved the crowd, everybody was so welcoming, dir, ‘Go KC.’ There’s good energy and I couldn’t be more grateful.”

Romero, who will celebrate his 19º birthday on Nov. 19, is a special boxer and young man. The last 12 months have been absolutely amazing whirlwind for him in boxing.

Because he hadn’t reached the mandatory age of 18 encara, and his weight class (súper mitjà) wasn’t included in 2024 Olympic boxing, Romero never seriously considered waiting for a shot at making the U.S. Equip olímpic. En lloc, his eyes were on the prize of becoming a professional fighter.

El desembre passat, Romero captured top honors at the prestigious USA Boxing National Championships in Lafayette, Louisiana, followed closely by parlaying that to gold medal performance at the 2024 National Golden Gloves Tournament in Detroit.

Tot va dir, in the last 12 mesos, he was 9-0 in amateur competition, including three at The Nationals and five at The Golden Gloves, plus three pro victories for a remarkable 12-0 registre (three pro and 8 in elite national amateur competition) during this relatively short span.

The Romero Plan has always been to close out his incredible amateur career by winning The Nationals and Golden Gloves, at which he was also named Most Outstanding Boxer, known as the Golden Boy Award, and then turn pro. Mission accomplished!
(L-R) – National Golden Gloves President Bobby Russo and Marco Romero with his Golden Gloves belt and Golden Boy Award)

“I would have liked to have fought in the Olympics,”Va explicar, “because all of the good, young boxers were there, and we (U.S. homes) haven’t won an Olympic Gold Medal since Andre Ward in 2004. But I didn’t turn 18 until two weeks prior to the (París) Olympics and my weight class wasn’t contested there.

"Ara, I’m on a new journey as a pro. Honestament, there aren’t too many differences between the amateurs and pros. The weigh-ins are right before the fight in the amateurs and the night before as a pro. I don’t have any problems fighting without headgear or with smaller gloves. To me there are really no big differences. Vaig néixer per lluitar!”

Romero describes himself as a heavy hitter who throws every punch with bad intentions. He’s very explosive with ring intelligence, capable of punishing his opponent by breaking them down until they either quit because they can’t take any additional punishment or get put to sleep.

In Romero’s corner is a legend in his own right, 77-year-old John Brown, who is Marco’s head trainer and manager, in the same role he played for world heavyweight champion Tommy Morrison (48-3-1, 42 KOs) from his amateur days through his first 39 baralles com a professional, 1988 a 1993. The highlight, per descomptat, was Morrison’s 12-round unanimous decision over George Foreman for the vacant World Boxing Organization (OMB) títol de pes pesat.

Brown clearly doesn’t need to be in Romero’s corner to survive; però, John knows that Marco is a special fighter with tremendous upside, and he’s vowed to get him to the top of the boxing mountain.
“I’m really excited about this kid,” Brown remarked, “and my job is to make him successful for himself and his family. Marco is an amazing kid. He has experience having boxed 10 anys i 135 baralles com amateur. He has good looks and a good personality, great sense of humor, speaks very well in English and Spanish, maturity beyond his years, and a work ethic that’s difficult to find in boxing.

“He’s hungry to be successful in life and knows that boxing is the vehicle to get him there. And he’s with the right people who don’t need to feed people. Anything could go wrong like injuries or illnesses, but it’s all there for him and a clear path. In terms of potential, Marco is in a rare class as part of a typical Mexican American family, tight knit and expanding. He respects everyone and Marco is a once in a lifetime talent.”

Brown knows that a champion boxer needs a supportive team in his corner. Romero has that and much more. In addition to Brown, the team is comprised of Marco’s father, Salvador, who encouraged his son to become a boxer at the tender age of seven, and he has remained with Marco through every step of his boxing journey. Brown also brought in one of his former amateur champions, Sergio Flores, who is a very successful businessman. Flores handles the tough physical training aspects required for success in the ring along with mitt work to help keep Marco’s skills razor sharp.

Fans attending this Saturday night’s show in Portland can look back in a few years and say they saw The Future of Boxing, Marco "El Tiburon" Romero, when he was just an 18-year-old prospect starting out on his mission to greatness.

Olympic Medal Winner Nico Hernandez Dominates Mexico’s Victor Trejo Garcia in UFC Fight Pass Main Event from Mulvane, Kansas

Leave a comment

Fighting in the main event of a special two-hour live stream on UFC Fight Pass and in front of an adoring crowd of fans at the Kansas Star Casino in Mulvane, Kansas, hometown favorite and US Olympic bronze medal winner Nico Hernandez (7-0, 4 KOs) won his eight-round flyweight showdown by unanimous decision over a determined but out-gunned Victor Trejo Garcia of Mexico City, Mèxic (16-10-1, 8 KOs).


It was a good “learning” fight for Hernandez, as Garcia never threatened to win, but hung tough against the superior firepower to keep things entertaining throughout. Classificacions dels jutges van ser 79-73, 80-72 i 80-72. Hernandez appears to be progressing well in the professional game. He was sitting down on his punches well and picking spots for his punishing combinations like a veteran.


“I was feeling really good in there,” said Hernandez, posterior a la baralla. “I’ve been working on fighting southpaws and I did better than I did last time against a southpaw. It was awkward for me, but I’m proud of my progress and I just need to keep working. He was a tough opponent and I take my hat off to him. If anybody is ready to step up next, have them call my team.”


As always the case, Kazakhstani buzzsaw Bakhtiyar “Bakha Bullet” Eyubov (14-0-1, 12 KOs) came out looking for a brawl and this time found a willing participant in Monterrey, Mexico’s Jose Luis “La Boa” Rodriguez (25-12-1, 13 KOs).


Fighting in the middle UFC Fight Pass bout, the two super lightweights did not disappoint, going to old-school inside warfare for eight exciting rounds. The entertaining Eyubov was the much more active fighter. He worked the body relentlessly while mixing in powerful hooks with both hands upstairs. Rodriguez weathered the relentless storm and came back consistently with hard, accurate counters.


Al final, the judges couldn’t decide who won and a majority draw was the verdict. One judge had it 77-75 for Rodriguez, a bit surprisingly, but was overruled by stereo scores of 76-76. Give both fighters credit, it was an entertaining slugfest and the Kansas fans loved it.


In the six-round super flyweight Fight Pass opener, Pushkino, Russia’s Elena Savelyeva (5-1, 4 KOs) necessaris només 36 seconds to dispatch Kansas City’s Tatiana Williams Kansas City (0-2). Williams was dancing and smiling before the action and came out looking to trade, but a taste of the former Olympian Saveleva’s power and she packed it in quickly.


Saveleva’s body work was ferocious as long as it lasted.


In the opening swing-bout of the night, a 10-round heavyweight bout didn’t last a full round, as knockout specialist Apti Davtaev (16-0-1, 15 KOs) of Kurchaloi, Rússia, made quick work of Belton, Missouri, veteran Richard Carmack 15-15-1, 12 KOs.


The two giants traded strong blows from the outset, with both landing. Davtaev, però, had the better accuracy and chin. One of his long right hands put Carmack down on a delayed reaction and another finished things at 2:26. KO 1.


Després, the stern Russian, who trains at Detroit’s world-famous Kronk Gym and is featured in upcoming Ring Magazine “New Faces” section as a “Heavyweight to Watch” for 2019, signalled he is ready for a step up in competition in his next fight.


The UFC Fight Pass commentating team consisted of La Xarxa de Lluita veteran Cory Edrman and “2018 Female Boxer of the Year” and women’s world champion Claressa Shields, making her debut behind the microphone. The event was presented by Salita Promotions.

El canvi de rivals no em va molestar gens; el pitjor d'aquest campament per a mi va ser només tots els canvis de dates: haver de centrar-me constantment la ment en el ritme i el moment de l'entrenament en funció de la data de la lluita.. No puc esperar per entrar al ring!

 

Has lluitat al pes supermitjà 168 i recentment en pes mitjà 160 lliura. Com és la teva formació, dieta i qualsevol altre esforç diferent a fer 160?

 

 

 

Entrenar sempre és dur i estic aprenent constantment. Aquest campament he tingut una dieta completament diferent: un canvi real i positiu per a mi. M'he unit amb Perfecting Athletes per als meus àpats diaris, i em sento genial. Sempre he intentat menjar sa, però aquestes persones són professionals i són més educades en aquest camp que jo mateix. Tinc aquesta beguda màgica que em fa somriure l'estómac: m'encanta! És síndria barrejada amb una verdura verda. No et diré de quina verdura és, però l'he begut cada dia, i em sento genial.

 

El vostre nombre d'espectadors ha estat molt fort. Per què creus que la gent se sent atreta per tu??

 

 

 

Crec que la gent se sent atreta per com sóc real i honest, tant dins com fora del ring. Dic el que vull dir i vull dir el que dic. Sóc dur però també tinc un costat suau. I crec que la gent està atreta per com lluito — no només parlo un bon joc sinó que lluito contra el meu a– apagat també! jo dono 1000% cada vegada: vull canviar el joc i portar una nova generació de fans a la boxa i la boxa femenina en general.

 

Què saps de la teva oponent Hannah Rankin??

 

 

 

Sé que el meu oponent Rankin és molt dur i està decidit a ser campió del món. M'agrada la seva conducció, M'agrada el seu cor. Sé que ha estat al ring com a companya de sparring de molts campions, una és Christina Hammer. Així que Rankin ha vist alguns bons lluitadors. Però una cosa és segura: mai no ha vist un lluitador com jo. I com que Hammer no va poder lluitar per la seva condició mèdica, En molts aspectes, el millor és lluitar i vèncer al seu company d'entrenador i deixar que Rankin li digui a Hammer què està fent quan torni.!

 

Què cal fer per resoldre la crisi de l'aigua de Flint?

 

 

Per resoldre el sílex Crisi de l'aigua, Crec que la gent hauria de seguir donant aigua i també mantenir-la a la notícia que hi ha una ciutat a Amèrica on, increïblement, Els ciutadans nord-americans no tenen aigua neta. I esperem que el president o el nostre governador facin alguna cosa per arreglar totes les canonades.

 

Quin és el secret per convertir-se en el millor dels millors en qualsevol esport??

 

 

 

Crec que el secret comença per creure en tu mateix, sent dedicat, treballant dur i esforçant-se sempre per ser millor. Sento que sóc el meu crític més gran quan entreno i boxo. És difícil veure pel·lícules de les meves baralles perquè tot i que ho estic fent 97 les coses són correctes, no suporto veure-les 3 coses que estic fent malament. Sóc una persona que s'esforça per treure tot el meu potencial. Es necessita coratge per ser genial. Res no impedirà assolir els meus objectius, que inclou ser el GWOAT i crear igualtat per a totes les dones lluitadores quan es tracta de diners, oportunitats i cobertura que reben els homes.

Leave a comment

En dissabte, Novembre 17, al Kansas Star Arena and Casino de Mulvane, Kansas, la superestrella campiona mundial femenina de dues divisions Claressa Shields of Flint, Michigan, defensarà els seus campionats mundials de pes mitjà de la FIB i de l'AMB i buscarà afegir el títol vacant del CMB contra Hannahh Rankin de Glasgow, Escòcia.

 

 

 

Els escuts de 10 rondes (6-0, 2 KOs), i Rankin (5-2, 1 KO) La batalla servirà com a combat co-protagonitzat per a l'enfrontament del concursant de pes pesat nascut a Brooklyn Jarrell Miller del Campionat Mundial de pes pesat de l'AMB contra el romanès Bogdan Dinu..

 

 

 

Aquestes dues baralles seran retransmeses en directe per DAZN, juntament amb l'excampió del món Brandon Rios enfrontant-se al germà de Canelo, Ramon Alvarez, en un pes súper welter de 10 rodones i ex-reponent al títol mundial de pes mitjà en dues ocasions, Gabriel Rosado, enfrontant-se al rival Luis Arias, un cop derrotat..

 

 

 

Inicialment, Shields estava programat per enfrontar-se a la campiona mundial de pes mitjà de WBC i WBO Christina Hammer el novembre 17, però el combat es va ajornar després que Hammer es retirés per motius mèdics. Hammer ha estat nomenada campiona al recés durant la seva recuperació. Ara està previst que els dos campions lluitaran durant el primer quart de 2019.

 

 

 

“Claressa és una esportista única en una generació que transcendeix l'esport,", va dir el seu promotor, Dmitriy Salita. "Farà un pas més en el seu objectiu d'assolir l'estatus de GWOAT mentre fa la primera defensa dels seus títols mundials de pes mitjà contra l'habilitat i duradora Hannah Rankin".

 

 

 

Una superestrella femenina autèntica i favorita de les valoracions de televisió, 23-"T-Rex" Shields, d'un any, ha guanyat dues vegades la medalla d'or olímpica i ja és campió del món en dues divisions de pes.. En la seva quarta lluita professional, va guanyar els campionats de pes súper mitjà IBF i WBC a l'agost 2017 amb una parada dominant de l'alemanya Nikki Adler. Llavors, el juny d'aquest any i només en la seva sisena lluita professional, ella va caure a 160 lliures i va guanyar els títols de pes mitjà de la FIB i l'AMB amb una emocionant decisió unànime sobre Hannah Gabriels.

 

 

 

"Estic molt emocionat de poder donar una altra oportunitat als meus fans de veure'm defensar el meu campionat aquest any i tenir l'oportunitat de guanyar el títol de pes mitjà del CMB el 17 de novembre", va dir Shields.. “Agraeixo l'esforç de Salita Promotions, el meu gerent Mark Taffet, i Matchroom Boxing en armar aquesta lluita tan ràpidament. Estaré en gran forma i oferiré un gran rendiment".

 

 

 

"Vull agrair a Salita Promotions i Matchroom Boxing per oferir a Claressa una altra oportunitat de lluitar aquest any i l'oportunitat d'aconseguir un tercer campionat del món de pes mitjà.,", va dir Mark Taffet, gerent de Claressa Shields. “La Claressa té gana i està motivada per fer una gran actuació el novembre 17 a DAZN. La Claressa té objectius alts i no tinc cap dubte que els aconseguirà tots, incloent lluitar i derrotar Christina Hammer a principis de l'any vinent. Espero que Shields vs Rankin sigui una lluita plena d'acció que els fans gaudiran moltíssim.”

 

 

 

28-Rankin, d'un any, va fer una actuació impressionant i valenta mentre perdia un repte per al Campionat de pes súper mitjà WBA d'Alicia Napoleon l'agost d'aquest any.. Abans d'això, va guanyar el campionat de pes mitjà de plata del CMB amb una victòria dominant sobre la finlandesa Sanna Turunen al juny.

 

 

 

"Estic emocionat per la lluita i orgullós de representar Escòcia en un escenari tan gran,", va dir Rankin. "En boxa, res és impossible i al novembre 17, Només serem nosaltres allà dins quan soni el timbre i crec que serà una baralla infernal".

En el primer títol mundial que es va celebrar mai a Kansas, Hernández (5-0, 4 KOs) Kanalas desbordat (14-7, 9 KOs), L’antiga Federació Mundial de Boxa (WBF) campió mundial de super pes pesat, per convertir -se en el més jove (22) Diferents campions mundials mai, així com establir el registre per a les poques lluites professionals que necessiten convertir -se en Iba World Titlist.

 

Superbox Live: Apostes altes es va llançar com a nova sèrie de boxa en directe de Super Channel,Superbox Live, en col·laboració amb Ko Night Boxing LLC, i es va emetre en directe exclusivament al Canadà a Super Channel.

Hernandez era agressiu des de la campana d'obertura, Kanalas batent’ Cap i cos. Un Hernandez va deixar el ganxo al cos realment va fer mal a Kanalas, que va baixar d'una dreta que va seguir el viciós xut de fetge. Kanalas va vèncer el Saló de la Fama Steve SmogerEl compte, I només va ser qüestió de temps abans que Hernandez acabés la lluita. Va arribar aviat, Just després que una altra combinació corporal i cap va posar l’hongarès a l’estora per segona i última vegada.

 

 

 

“Molta gent subestima el meu poder,” Hernandez va dir després de la lluita. “Crec que un cop va sentir el meu poder, No crec que ho volgués més. Em sentia com si em tregués el cor. Vaig tenir paciència, Volia que anés unes quantes rondes per veure què tenia, Però em vaig emportar el cor. Realment no puc deixar -me decebut perquè ara sóc campió del món.”

 

 

 

“Nico va ser explosiu dissabte a la nit i va mostrar un instint assassí,” promotor John Andersen comentat. “Anava a la caixa, Però crec que feia olor de por, I Nico es va ficar a Kanalas’ cap. Ho va sentir i va saltar sobre ell.”

Va ser eliminat a la ronda de 16 i Hernandez es va endur la medalla de bronze. “Hi ha un medallista de bronze de (Del nord) Irlanda, Paddy Barnes, I és a qui m’agradaria molt lluitar.”

 

 

 

“Crec que és una lluita per la qual hauríem de començar una conversa,” Andersen va remarcar. “No és la línia que Barnes ho és 21 (ell és 31) I no en sé gaire 30 o pesos de mosca més antics. Té molt sentit i pot ser una gran lluita. Tots dos són medallistes de bronze olímpics, ja he lluitat en programat 10 i 12 baralles rodones, i tenir cinturons. (Barnes és el WBO Intercontinental Flyweight Champ). Nico ha de millorar en termes de competència, massa. Crec que haurien d’entrar al ring i després podem veure què passa.

 

 

 

“Si no volen fer aquesta lluita de seguida, Potser ho podem construir posant a la mateixa targeta, I després lluitar l’any que ve. Aquesta lluita té molt sentit tant per als combatents com per a Nico ja ha dit que vol lluitar contra Barnes.”
