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

Ιούνιος 8, 2025 FNU47 Αφήστε ένα σχόλιο

KANSAS CITY, Μάιος. (Ιούνιος 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”Ρομέρο (7-0, 6 KOs).

Ρομέρο, fighting out of Olathe (KS), faced Noah Kidd (10-14-2, 5 KOs) Μαΐου 24^ου in a scheduled six-round bout outdoors at Energy Plaza in downtown Topeka, Κάνσας.

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,” Romero said. “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 (ΠΟΥ) 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, Μέιν.

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

Μάιος 12, 2025 FNU47 Αφήστε ένα σχόλιο

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

Not only is this event considerably closer to his Olathe (KS) 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 ανεμιστήρες.

“I’m super excited, pumped up to fight only a 45-minute drive from my hometown for my fans,” Romero said. “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, Μιζούρι, 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.”

Ως επαγγελματίας, 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 στο Πόρτλαντ (ME), Ιούνιος 27 in Wichita (KS), Ιούλιος 25 σε Ατλάντικ Σίτι, Σεπτέμβριος 6 in Olathe and back to Portland (ME) Νοεμβρίου 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 (Μπράουν) 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. Στο τέλος, 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: νέος, 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

Νοέμβριος 9, 2024 FNU47 Αφήστε ένα σχόλιο

Tonight in Portland, ME

KANSAS CITY, Μάιος. (Νοέμβριος 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, Μέιν, 1,300 miles northeast of his home in Overland Park, Κάνσας.

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),” Romero said. “I loved the crowd, everybody was so welcoming, ρητό, ‘Go KC.’ There’s good energy and I couldn’t be more grateful.”

Ρομέρο, who will celebrate his 19^ου 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 ακόμη, and his weight class (super middleweight) wasn’t included in 2024 Olympic boxing, Romero never seriously considered waiting for a shot at making the U.S. Ολυμπιακή Ομάδα. Αντί, his eyes were on the prize of becoming a professional fighter.

Τον περασμένο Δεκέμβριο, Romero captured top honors at the prestigious USA Boxing National Championships in Lafayette, Λουιζιάνα, followed closely by parlaying that to gold medal performance at the 2024 National Golden Gloves Tournament in Detroit.

All told, in the last 12 μήνες, 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 ρεκόρ (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,” he explained, “because all of the good, young boxers were there, and we (Η.Π.Α.. άνδρες) haven’t won an Olympic Gold Medal since Andre Ward in 2004. But I didn’t turn 18 until two weeks prior to the (Παρίσι) Olympics and my weight class wasn’t contested there.

"Τώρα, I’m on a new journey as a pro. Τίμια, 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. I was born to fight!”

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 αγώνες υπέρ, 1988 να 1993. The highlight, φυσικά, was Morrison’s 12-round unanimous decision over George Foreman for the vacant World Boxing Organization (WBO) βαρέων βαρών τίτλο.

Brown clearly doesn’t need to be in Romero’s corner to survive; ωστόσο, 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 years and 135 ερασιτέχνες αγώνες. 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, Κάνσας

Φεβρουάριος 16, 2019 FNU47 Αφήστε ένα σχόλιο

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, Κάνσας, 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, Μεξικό (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. Βαθμολογίες των κριτών ήταν 79-73, 80-72 και 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, μετά τον αγώνα. “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.

Στο τέλος, 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) χρειάζεται μόνο 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, Ρωσία, made quick work of Belton, Μιζούρι, veteran Richard Carmack 15-15-1, 12 KOs.

The two giants traded strong blows from the outset, with both landing. Davtaev, ωστόσο, 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.

Κατόπιν, 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 *Το δίκτυο πάλης* 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.

Training Camp Almost Complete; A Confident and On-Weight Claressa Shields Ready for Hannah Rankin DAZN Showdown on November 17

Νοέμβριος 7, 2018 FNU47 Αφήστε ένα σχόλιο

Women’s superstar and two-division world champion Claressa Shields is in Florida with trainer John David Jackson, finishing up preparations for her showdown with Glasgow, Scotland’s Hannahh Rankin on Saturday, Νοέμβριος 17, at the Kansas Star Arena and Casino in Mulvane, Κάνσας.

Ασπίδες (6-0, 2 KOs) will defend her IBF and WBA World Middleweight Championships, and be looking to add the vacant WBC title, against Rankin (5-2, 1 KO) in the 10-round co-featured bout to Salita Promotions stablemate Jarrell Miller’s heavyweight showdown against Romania’s Bogdan Dinu.

Both fights, along with former world champion Brandon Rios taking on Canelo’s brother, Ramon Alvarez, in a super welterweight 10-rounder and former two-time world middleweight title challenger Gabriel Rosado going against once-beaten contender Luis Arias, will be broadcast live on DAZN.

23-year-old Shields, a former two-time Olympic Gold Medallist, has reignited interest in women’s boxing and become a ratings favorite for her nationally televised championship exploits. A proud native of Flint, Μίσιγκαν, Shields mixes her brash pronouncements of greatness with a genuine and continued effort to inspire female athletes and render aid to members of her home community.

Shields was originally scheduled to face WBC and WBO World Middleweight Champion Christina Hammer on November 17, but the bout was postponed after Hammer withdrew due to medical reasons.

Did the change of opponents from Hammer to Rankin affect your training?

I don’t train for my opponents, I just push to get the best out of me, σωματικά και ψυχικά. If I’m the best ‘me,’ I don’t have to worry about who the opponent is. The change of opponents didn’t bother me at all; the worst thing about this camp for me was just all the date changes – constantly having to get my mind focused on the pace and timing of training depending on the fight date. Ανυπομονώ να μπω στο ρινγκ!

You’ve fought at super middleweight 168 and recently at middleweight 160 λίρες. How is your training, diet and any other efforts different to make 160?

Training is always hard and I’m constantly learning. I’ve had a completely different diet this camp – a real change and a positive one for me. I’ve teamed up with Perfecting Athletes for my daily meals, and I feel great. I’ve always tried to eat healthy but these folks are pros and are more educated in that field than myself. I have this magic drink that makes my stomach smile – I love it! It’s watermelon mixed with a green vegetable. I’m not going to tell you what vegetable it is, but I’ve been drinking it everyday, and I feel GREAT.

Your viewership numbers have been very strong. Why do you think people are drawn to you?

I believe that people are drawn to how real and honest I am, τόσο εντός όσο και έξω από το δακτύλιο. I say what I mean and mean what I say. I’m hard but I have a soft side also. And I think people are drawn to how I fight — not only do I talk a good game but I fight my a– off too! δίνω 1000% every time – I want to change the game and bring a whole new generation of fans to women’s boxing and boxing overall.

What do you know about your opponent Hannah Rankin?

I know that my opponent Rankin is very tough and determined to be a world champion. I like her drive, I like her heart. I know that she has been in the ring as a sparring partner for many champions, one being Christina Hammer. So Rankin has seen some good fighters. But one thing is for sure – she has never seen a fighter like me. And since Hammer couldn’t fight because of her medical condition, in many ways the next best thing is to fight and beat her sparring partner and let Rankin tell Hammer what she’s in for when she returns!

What needs to be done to solve the Flint water crisis?

To solve the flint Water crisis, I think that people should continue to give water and also keep it in the news that there is a city in America where, unbelievably, US citizens don’t have clean water. And hopefully the president or our governor do something to fix all the pipes.

What’s the secret to becoming the best of the best in any sport?

I believe the secret starts with believing in yourself, being dedicated, working hard and just always striving to be better. I feel I’m my biggest critic when I train and box. It’s hard to watch film of my fights because even though I’m doing 97 things right I just can’t stand to see the 3 things I’m doing wrong. I’m a person who strives to pull out my full potential. It takes guts to be great. Nothing will stand in the way of achieving my goals, which includes being the GWOAT and creating equality for all women fighters when it comes to the money, opportunities and coverage the men get.

Women’s Superstar Claressa Shields to Defend IBF and WBA Middleweight Championships and Looks to Add WBC Belt Against Scotland’s Hannah Rankin, Live on DAZN on November 17

Οκτώβριος 29, 2018 FNU47 Αφήστε ένα σχόλιο

Το Σάββατο, Νοέμβριος 17, at the Kansas Star Arena and Casino in Mulvane, Κάνσας, superstar two-division women’s world champion Claressa Shields of Flint, Μίσιγκαν, will defend her IBF and WBA World Middleweight Championships and be looking to add the vacant WBC title against Hannahh Rankin from Glasgow, Σκωτία.

The 10-round Shields (6-0, 2 KOs), and Rankin (5-2, 1 KO) battle will serve as the co-featured bout to Brooklyn-born heavyweight contender Jarrell Miller’s WBA World Heavyweight Championship showdown against Romania’s Bogdan Dinu.

These two fights will be broadcast live on DAZN, along with former world champion Brandon Rios taking on Canelo’s brother, Ramon Alvarez, in a super welterweight 10-rounder and former two-time world middleweight title challenger Gabriel Rosado going against once-beaten contender Luis Arias.

Shields was originally scheduled to face WBC and WBO World Middleweight Champion Christina Hammer on November 17, but the bout was postponed after Hammer withdrew due to medical reasons. Hammer has been named a champion in recess during her recovery. The two champions are now projected to do battle in the first quarter of 2019.

“Claressa is a once-in-a-generation athlete that transcends the sport,” said her promoter, Dmitriy Salita. “She will take another step in her goal to achieve the status of GWOAT as she makes the first defense of her middleweight world titles against the skilled and durable Hannah Rankin.”

A bonafide women’s superstar and TV ratings favorite, 23-year-old “T-Rex” Shields is a two-time Olympic gold medallist and already a world champion in two weight divisions. In her fourth professional fight, she won the IBF and WBC Super Middleweight Championships in August 2017 with a dominant stoppage of Germany’s Nikki Adler. Τότε, in June of this year and in just her sixth pro fight, she dropped down to 160 pounds and won the IBF and WBA Middleweight titles with an exciting unanimous decision over Hannah Gabriels.

“I’m so excited to be able to give my fans another chance to see me defend my championship this year and to have the opportunity to win the WBC middleweight title on November 17,” said Shields. “I appreciate the efforts of Salita Promotions, my manager Mark Taffet, and Matchroom Boxing in putting this fight together so quickly. I will be in great shape and will provide a great performance.”

“I want to thank Salita Promotions and Matchroom Boxing for providing Claressa with another chance to fight this year and an opportunity to attain a third middleweight world championship,” said Mark Taffet, manager of Claressa Shields. “Claressa is hungry and motivated to put on a great performance on November 17 on DAZN. Claressa has lofty goals and I have no doubt that she’s going to achieve every one of them, including fighting and defeating Christina Hammer early next year. I expect Shields vs Rankin to be an action-packed fight that fans will enjoy tremendously.”

28-year-old Rankin put in an impressive and brave performance while losing a challenge for Alicia Napoleon’s WBA Super Middleweight Championship in August of this year. Πριν από αυτό, she picked up the WBC Silver Middleweight Championship with a dominant victory over Finland’s Sanna Turunen in June.

“I’m excited about the fight and proud to be representing Scotland on such a big stage,” said Rankin. “In boxing, nothing is impossible and on November 17, it will be just us in there when the bell rings and I think it’s going to be one hell of a fight.”

MULVANE, Μάιος. (Μάιος 21, 2018) — Η ιστορία έγινε το περασμένο Σάββατο το βράδυ “SUPERBOX Ζωντανά: Υψηλά στοιχήματα” κάρτα πληρωμής ανά προβολή, όταν 2016 Ολυμπιακό χάλκινο μετάλλιο και τοπικός ήρωας, Nico Hernandez, χτύπησε τον ουγγρικό αντίπαλο Παραμονή Πρωτοχρονιάς “Το Silent Assassin” Κανάλι στον εναρκτήριο γύρο για να συλλάβει τον κενό Διεθνή Πυγμαχία (IBA) Παγκόσμιο Πρωτάθλημα Flyweight μόνο στον πέμπτο επαγγελματικό αγώνα του, στο Κάνσας Αστέρι Arena στο Mulvane, Κάνσας.

Στον πρώτο αγώνα παγκόσμιου τίτλου που έγινε ποτέ στο Κάνσας, Hernandez (5-0, 4 KOs) συγκλονισμένο κανάλι (14-7, 9 KOs), η πρώην Παγκόσμια Ομοσπονδία Πυγμαχίας (WBF) σούπερ flyweight παγκόσμιος πρωταθλητής, να γίνουν οι νεότεροι (22) Παγκόσμιος πρωταθλητής IBA ποτέ, καθώς και το ρεκόρ για τους λιγότερους αγώνες που χρειάζονται για να γίνουν παγκόσμιοι τίτλοι IBA.

SUPERBOX Ζωντανά: Υψηλά στοιχήματα κυκλοφόρησε ως νέα ζωντανή σειρά πυγμαχίας του Super Channel,SUPERBOX Ζωντανά, σε συνδυασμό με KO Night Boxing LLC, και προβλήθηκε ζωντανά αποκλειστικά στον Καναδά στο Super Channel.

Διανομή ολοκληρωμένων αθλητικών μέσων “SUPERBOX Ζωντανά: Υψηλά στοιχήματα” στις Ηνωμένες Πολιτείες μέσω καλωδίου, δορυφορική και ψηφιακή πληρωμή ανά προβολή καθώς μεταδόθηκε ζωντανά παγκοσμίως FITE.TV εφαρμογή και ιστότοπος (εξαιρουμένου του Καναδά).

Ο Hernandez ήταν επιθετικός από το κουδούνι έναρξης, χτυπάει κανάλι’ κεφάλι και σώμα. Ένας αριστερός γάντζος Hernandez στο σώμα έβλαψε πραγματικά τον Kanalas, που κατέβηκε από δεξιά που ακολούθησε το φαύλο ήπαρ. Ο Κανάλας νίκησε το Hall of Fame Ο Steve SmogerΜετράει, και ήταν μόνο θέμα χρόνου πριν ο Hernandez τερματίσει τον αγώνα. Ήρθε σύντομα, αμέσως μετά από έναν άλλο συνδυασμό σώματος και κεφαλιού, ο δεύτερος και ο τελευταίος φοράς που ταιριάζει με την Ουγγαρία στο χαλί.

“Πολλοί άνθρωποι υποτιμούν τη δύναμή μου,” Ο Χερνάντεζ είπε μετά τον αγώνα. “Πιστεύω ότι μόλις ένιωσε τη δύναμή μου, Δεν νομίζω ότι το ήθελε πια. Ένιωσα σαν να πήρα την καρδιά του. Ήμουν υπομονετικός, Ήθελα να πάω μερικούς γύρους για να δω τι είχε, αλλά πήρα την καρδιά του μακριά. Δεν μπορώ πραγματικά να απογοητευτώ γιατί είμαι παγκόσμιος πρωταθλητής τώρα.”

“Ο Νίκο ήταν εκρηκτικό το Σάββατο το βράδυ και έδειξε ένστικτο δολοφόνου,” υποστηρικτής John Andersen σχολίασε. “Πήγαινε στο κουτί, αλλά νομίζω ότι μύριζε φόβο, και ο Νίκο μπήκε στον Καναλά’ κεφάλι. Το αισθάνθηκε και τον πήδηξε.”

Πριν φύγει από το δαχτυλίδι, Ο Χερνάντεζ πήρε το μικρόφωνο στο κέντρο του δακτυλίου και φώναξε τρεις φορές Ολυμπιονίκης και δύο φορές Ολυμπιακούς χάλκινο μετάλλιο, “Ιρλανδικός” Πάντυ Μπάρνες (5-0, 1 KO), ποιος ήταν ο ευνοημένος για να κερδίσει ένα χρυσό μετάλλιο στο τμήμα flyweight στο 2016 Ολυμπιακοί Αγώνες. Απομακρύνθηκε στον γύρο του 16 και ο Χερνάντεζ πήρε το χάλκινο μετάλλιο. “Υπάρχει ένα χάλκινο μετάλλιο από (Βόρειος) Ιρλανδία, Πάντυ Μπάρνες, και αυτό θα ήθελα πραγματικά να πολεμήσω.”

“Νομίζω ότι είναι ένας αγώνας για τον οποίο πρέπει να ξεκινήσουμε μια συζήτηση,” Ο Άντερσεν παρατήρησε. “Δεν είναι η γραμμή του Barnes 21 (αυτός είναι 31) και δεν ξέρω πολλά 30 ή παλαιότερα flyweights. Έχει πολύ νόημα και μπορεί να είναι ένας μεγάλος αγώνας. Είναι και οι δύο Ολυμπιακοί χάλκινοι μετάλλιο, ήδη αγωνίστηκε στο προγραμματισμένο 10 και 12 στρογγυλές μάχες, και έχει ζώνες. (Ο Barnes είναι ο πρωταθλητής WBO Intercontinental flyweight). Ο Νίκο πρέπει να αναβαθμιστεί ως προς τον ανταγωνισμό, πάρα πολύ. Νομίζω ότι πρέπει να μπουν στο δαχτυλίδι και μετά μπορούμε να δούμε τι συμβαίνει.

“Εάν δεν θέλουν να κάνουν αυτόν τον αγώνα αμέσως, ίσως μπορούμε να το δημιουργήσουμε βάζοντάς τα στην ίδια κάρτα, και στη συνέχεια πολεμήστε το επόμενο έτος. Αυτός ο αγώνας έχει πολύ νόημα και για τους δύο μαχητές και ο Nico έχει ήδη πει ότι θέλει να πολεμήσει τον Barnes.”

Ο Hernandez έγινε μέλος των παγκόσμιων πρωταθλητών της IBA, ελαφρύ βαρέων βαρών Σεργκέι Κοβάλεφ και κατώτερο μεσαίο βάρος Μαρκ Ντελούκα, καθώς και προηγούμενους παγκόσμιους πρωταθλητές της IBA όπως το Hall of Famers Oscar de la Hoya, George Foreman, Roberto Duran και Arturo Gatti, εκτός από τα αστέριαRoy Jones, Jr., Bernard Hopkins, Shane Mosely, James Toney, Mikkel Kessler, Έρικ Μοράλες, Diego Corrales, Jose Luis Castillo, Glen Johnson και Antonio Tarver.

2011 Χρυσός μετάλλιο πρωταθλήματος Ρωσίας Αντρέι Αφόνιν (6-0, 3 KOs) διατήρησε το αήττητο ρεκόρ του σε τακτική όταν Πέδρο “Το Reguilete” Ροντρίγκεζ (23-4, 19 KOs), η κουβανική μητρική και πρώην Παγκόσμια Ένωση Πυγμαχίας (WBA) Fedalatin cruiserweight πρωταθλητής, δεν μπόρεσε να απαντήσει στο κουδούνι στον τρίτο γύρο του co-feature event.

Αήττητη ουκρανική βαρέων βαρών Ολεξάντρ Teslenko (13-0, 11 KOs), προωθείται από την DiBella Entertainment και αγωνίζεται έξω από το Τορόντο, σταμάτησε Τερζάν “Μεγάλος Τζιμ” Μάρμαρο (9-6, 7 KOs) στο δεύτερο γύρο.

Αήττητο φτερό βάρους της Ουάσιγκτον Ηθικά βίκτωρ, Jr. (9-0, 5 KOs) ήταν πάρα πολύ γιαΝτέιβιντ Μπερν (15-4, 14 KOs), της Ουγγαρίας, ο οποίος παραπονέθηκε για τραυματισμό στον αγκώνα και έχασε λόγω τεχνικού νοκ-άουτ δεύτερου γύρου, στο τηλεοπτικό ανοιχτήρι.

Στην περίοδο της ταλάντευσης της τηλεόρασης, που πραγματοποιήθηκε πριν από την κύρια εκδήλωση, δημοφιλές Wichita junior welterweight Τζεφ Στρουμ (3-0, 2 KOs) κράτησε το τρένο’ με δεύτερο γύρο νοκ-άουτ Νιγηρίας Archie Weah (2-11).

Στον πιο ανταγωνιστικό αγώνα της νύχτας, καθώς και ο μοναχικός αγώνας που πήγε σε πλήρη απόσταση, St. Louis cruiserweight Λέρο Τζόουνς (3-3, 2 KOs) κέρδισε μια τετράχρονη ομόφωνη απόφαση για το Κάνσας Σίτι, KS αγαπημένο Κρις Χάρις (2-3-2, 2 KOs).
