PARK CITY, Me. (Fevriye 11, 2018) – U.S. Olympian and hometown favorite Nico Hernandez captured the vacant International Boxing Association (Iba) Americas flyweight title in his fourth professional fight, headlining last night’s “KO lannwit boksè” Gold & Glory” kat, nan Hartman Arena nan Park City, Kansas.
Prezante pa “KO Night Boxing LLC,” the card was taped live to be shown at a later date on CBS Sports Network. “KO lannwit boksè” Gold & Glory” kat, presented by KO Night Boxing LLC,
Hernandez nan 22-ane-fin vye granmoun (4-0, 3 Ko) stopped last-minute replacement, jwèt Victor “Ti towo bèf la” Torres, nan wonn nan senkyèm.
Hernandez’ opozan orijinal, Hungarian champion Joseph Ajtai (19-9, 12 Ko), never made it to Wichita due to a series of unfortunate circumstances. Ajtai lost one day in Frankfurt, Almay, after leaving his passport on the plane he took from Budapest. Once he landed in Chicago nan Mèkredi, he was tied up by a visa issue at U.S. Customs. He missed his connecting flight to Wichita and because of snowstorms that grounded numerous flights, including those to Wichita, Ajtai never made it out of O’Hare Airport, stranded there for several days.
The IBA granted a special exception for Hernandez to fight Torres, due to these unforeseen problems, with the agreement that Hernandez would next fight Ajtai for an IBA title.
“It was an electric night,” pwomotè John Andersen di. “Yon fwa ankò, Nico made the proper adjustment that can be credited to his amateur pedigree. In the amateurs, opponents often change at the last moment and Nico has overcome many obstacles during his boxing career. We’re going to give Josef another title shot against Nico in April or May. They have unfinished business together!
“I was very pleased with Nico’s performance. It’s the best I’ve seen him. He was unbelievable in every way, on point throughout the fight. We also want to give Torres credit for accepting the fight on such late notice.”
Hernandez came out fast from the start, battering Torres’ body with tremendous combinations, and he never let up. Torres absorbed punishment but remained upright, but IBA referee Steve Smoger halted the action in the fifth round for Torres’ sekirite.
“I’m not leaving this belt,” Hernandez commented at the post fight press conference as he handled his IBA Americas belt. “It’s going everywhere with me. I was looking forward to this fight and I’m ready to continue my success. This is the first (title belt) of many. I got what I worked hard for. I want to thank my coaches, all the work paid off, and now I have this (title belt).”
Nan evènman an ko-chin an tap, Minneapolis wèltèr Javonte Starks (13-2, 7 Ko) and Mexican veteran Cesar Soriano (28-36-2, 17 Ko) fought to a six-round majority draw.

“KO lannwit boksè: Gold & Glory” pou
vacant IBA Americas flyweight title
Dec. 2 nan Hartman Arena nan Park City, KS
PARK CITY, Kansas (Novanm 20, 2017) – USA Olympian and hometown hero Nico Hernandez and Hungarian flyweight champion Jozsef “Little Wouj” 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, Samdi lannwit, Desanm 2, sou la “KO lannwit boksè: Gold & Glory” kat, nan Hartman Arena nan Park City, Kansas.

pral aksyon an dwe kole ap viv pou ond lavni sou CBS Espò Rezo.
The 21-year-old Hernandez (3-0, 2 Ko), batay soti nan Wichita, was a decorated amateur boxer who compiled a sterling 123-12 dosye, highlighted by his bronze-medal winning performance at the 2016 Olympic jwèt nan peyi Brezil. 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, sepandan, will be his first title fight, coming in only his fourth pro bout.
Ajtai, ki moun ki se yon ane ak sis jou ki gen mwens pase Hernandez, made his professional debut 2 ½ years ago, and he’s already fought in five title fights.
Hernandez’ 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, hopefully, back here at home to help us continue building Wichita into a fight town.”
Ajtai (19-9, 12 Ko) has already had 28 pro batay, 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 Zou, ansyen Boksè mondyal la Òganizasyon (WBO) Mouch chanpyon nan lemonn. The Hungarian has fought at home in Hungary, as well as on the road in the United Kingdom, Espay, Almay, Ikrèn ak Slovaki. 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 2nd. When my condition is good, as it is for this fight, nobody likes to fight me.
“Sa a se yon gwo opòtinite pou m '. 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 (vs. 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. ak, like I’ve said, I don’t plan on this fight going the distance.”
Ajtai, nan kou, isn’t traveling all the way to Kansas to visit Dorothy or the Wizard of Oz, li te vini pou pou genyen!
“Nico pa pral konnen ki kote mwen pral nan bag la,” Ajtai prevwa. “Lè li sanble nan bò gòch la pou m ', Mwen pral a dwat a; lè li ap eseye jwenn mwen sou bò dwat la, Mwen pral sou bò gòch la. Lè li vle pran yon ti repo, Mwen pral vini pou pi devan pwensonaj; lè li vle kout pyen, li pa pral jwenn mwen.
“Mwen gen yon plan pou sa a batay ak mwen si ke li fè sa ki osi byen. Men,, nan bag la, sèlman plan yon sèl avyon de gè nan ka reyisi. Li k ap pase yo dwe yon batay la byen mennen, men mwen pa ka pwomèt piblik la ke Nico yo pral gayan an.”

“KO NIGHT BOXING” RESULTS FROM KANSAS
PALM CITY, Kansas (Septanm 24, 2017) – The name of last night’s “KO lannwit boksè: Step Up” event certainly was appropriate as 2016 Olympic bronze medalist Nico Hernandez had to overcome a major obstacle to remain undefeated at Hartman Arena in Palm City, Kansas.
“KO lannwit boksè: 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.
St. 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 liv, Baratov was 112, which was the contracted weight. The Kansas Athletic Commission, sepandan, 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 Ko) nan mma, including a 55-second stoppage of 14-7-1 Cody Land sa a Jiyè sot pase.
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 Ko).
“They (his corner and fans) were nervous,” the 21-year-old Hernandez said after the fight, “men mwen pa te. My coach (father Lewis Hernandez) told me to feint and go in, but I lunged a little too much. Hey, 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,” pwomotè John Andersen kòmante. “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 Desanm 2 to headline another show at Hartman Arena.
USBA No. 2- rated featherweight Tramaine “The Might Midget” Williams (13-0, 5 Ko), fighting out of New Haven (CT), cruised to his 13th victory without a defeat, taking a one-sided 10-round unanimous decision over Derrick Murray (13-3, 5 Ko), in the co-featured event.
Key West, FL welterweight Armando “Mesye a: Alvarez (17-0, 11 Ko) rete undefeated, winning a 10-round unanimous decision against Hungarian champion Gabor “Squirrel” Gorbics (23-8, 14 Ko) in a competitive Special Welterweight Attraction. Alvarez is the WBC Latino welterweight title holder.
Undefeated Chinese heavyweight prospect Zhilei “Big Bang” Zhang (18-0, 14 Ko), the reigning WBO Oriental champion, bezwen sèlman 2:28 to stop veteran Byron “Bear a” Polley(30-22-1, 13 Ko). Zhang, as well as Williams, are promoted by Roc Nation Sports.
In the most dramatic fight of the night, Los Angeles heavyweight Scott Alexander (13-2-2, 7 Ko) rebounded from being decked, as well as a pre-fight cut, to knockout 361-pound Richard “arjante” Carmack (15-12-1, 12 Ko) nan wonn nan dezyèm. Alexander suffered a cut on his shin that resulted from a step breaking as he entered the ring.

Wichita light heavyweight Jeff Strum pitched a shutout in his pro debut against Topeka’s (KS) previously unbeaten Chris Ortega (3-1-1), winning all four rounds in impressive fashion.

Wichita-native Hernandez (2-0, 2 Ko) will face the stiffest test of his young pro career, Mexican flyweight Francisco “Warrior” Lapizco (8-5, 2 Ko), in the six-round main event.
“I’m very fortunate that my promoter, John Andersen(KO lannwit boksè), has worked hard to make my third pro fight at home,” Hernandez said. “I’m very excited to be able to show boxing at its best.
“My opponent has never been stopped. Li evidan, he has more professional experience than me, and I understand he likes putting pressure on his opponent. I want to be the first to stop this guy! I also want the boxing world to know I’m coming for belts. Champions should get ready for Nico Hernandez.”
In his professional debut on March 25th, Hernandez knocked out Patrick Gutierrez nan wonn nan katriyèm, and this past June 17th at Hartman Arena, the 21-year-old U.S. Olympian stopped previously undefeated Jose Rodriguez in the third round of the main event.

“This fight is a step up for Nico against a proven opponent who goes rounds,” Andersen noted. “He has already upset an undefeated fighter. It’s time for Nico to step up, as well as the city of Wichita, in terms of supporting him. This is a major event on September 23rd that will bring national attention, not only for Nico, but to Wichita.
“We have an opportunity to put Nico, all of Kansas, on the national map in boxing. We have a multi-fight deal to showcase Nico at Hartman Arena. After the September 23rd montre, we’ll announce his final fight of 2017. We need people to turnout September 23rd at Hartman Arena to continue promoting Nico at home.”

Nico Hernandez (R) battered Jose Rodriguez in a one-sided contest
The 21-year-old Hernandez (2-0, 2 Ko) came out fast, rapidly firing combinations that consistently landed to his opponent’s head and body. Hernandez was as electric in the ring as the sky outside, battering the over-matched Rodriguez, finally dropping him midway through the second round.
The extremely sharp Hernandez floored Rodriguez again in the third with a right-left combination but the tough Mexican rose again. The onslaught continued briefly as the Olympian pounded Rodriguez (2-1, 2 Ko), knocking him down for the third time and final time as referee Kevin Champion counted him out at 2:38.
“I came out with a victory, it can’t get better than that,” Hernandez said after the fight. “I put him down a few times. I was happy with my performance. I was trying to get out of her to celebrate with my family and friends.

“I didn’t expect him to keep coming, getting up and still coming forward. I’ll talk to my promoter and coaches and see what’s next.”

Nico Hernandez celebrated his triumph at home in front of family and friends

Kansas featherweight rivals Eric Vargas (3-0, 1 KO), of Garden City, and Winfield’s pro-debuting Humberto “Tito” Tellez (0-1) had fans screaming from start to finish in an entertaining match. The stronger Vargas outworked the game Tellez through most of their action-packed fight to earn a hard-fought win by four-round majority decision.
In the television opener, pro-debuting Kansas super middleweights Eddie Chavez (0-1), of Wichita, and Garden City’s Luis Fernando Juanez Jasso (1-0, 1 KO) went toe-to-toe from the opening bell until there was one minute left in the opening round, when Jasso suddenly dropped Chavez with a punishing right. Chavez beat the count but he was hurting. Jasso trapped Chavez on the ropes and unloaded seven unanswered punch until Chavez took a knee and referee Champion immediately stepped in to stop the fight.
Pro-debuting Brian Clements (0-0-1), fighting out of Topeka (KS), and Garden City veteran Bryant Montalvo (1-9-1) fought to a four-round draw in a back-and-forth contest.
