PARK CITY, Канзас (Маусым 1, 2017) – Wichita-native Нико Эрнандес (1-0, 1 KO), а 2016 Олимпиаданың қола жүлдегері, is on a mission to establish his home as a realfight townlike world champion Terence Crawford has done in Omaha, Небраска.

Hernandez drew nearly 3,200 fans for his professional debut, Наурыз 25, Маңайдағы Мулванде (К.С.), in which he knocked out Patrick Gutierrez in the fourth round of the main event, which was also televised live on CBS Sports Network.
Эрнандес’ промоутер, KO Түнгі Бокс, ЖШС, is committed to showcasing Hernandez at home on national television, as well as provide a platform for young Kansas boxers for them to develop their skills and build intra-state rivalries as evident on this card.
My plan is to do it like Terence Crawford has done in Omaha,” Hernandez explained. “I’m hoping it works out as well for me. It means so much for me to bring boxing to Wichita, to all of Kansas, for these fans and all the good, young boxers we have here.
This is a good opportunity for fighters from Wichita, across Kanas, to showcase their skills to the boxing world,” промоутер John Andersen деді. “Nico is giving all these other fighters a chance to do that by headlining our shows on CBS Sports Network. They need to fight to develop; otherwise, they’d have to travel far from home just to fight. They can build fanbases close to their hometowns.

We’re an up-and-coming promotional company, much like Nico as a pro fighter, and together we want to build boxing across Kansas and build natural rivalries like we have on this card. Nico is the perfect fighter to do this because, in addition to being an Olympic medalist, he’s a great role model for young people in Wichita, and Kansas as a whole, to emulate. We’ve planted the boxing seed in Wichita, through Nico, and we feel that boxing is going to grow across the state where Nico is bigger than life.

Airing live on CBS Sports Network from
Hartman Arena in Kansas
PARK CITY, Канзас (Мамыр 11, 2017) – Unfazed Mexico-native Хосе Родригес is determined to knockout 2016 Олимпиаданың қола жүлдегері Нико Эрнандес бойынша Сенбі, Маусым 17, жылы “KO Түнгі Бокс: Жылдам өрт” headline event.

Вичита тумасы Эрнандес (1-0, 1 KO) will be fighting at home against Rodriquez (2-0, 2 КО), a flyweight living in Wisconsin,in the six-round main event that will air (10 p.m. ЖӘНЕ / 7 p.m. PT) CBS спорт желісінде Парк-Ситидегі Хартман Аренадан тікелей эфирде, Канзас.
“KO Түнгі Бокс: Жылдам өрт” is a presentation of KO Night Boxing LLC.
Hernandez drew nearly 3,200 fans for his professional debut, Наурыз 25, Маңайдағы Мулванде (К.С.), in which the 21-year-old future star stopped Patrick Gutierrez in the fourth round of the main event, which was also televised live on CBS Sports Network.
Rodriguez is chasing the American dream having moved 12 years ago to Wisconsin for a job opportunity and better life for his family. He had started boxing in Mexico but was unable to continue because he needed to work. A few years after he moved to Wisconsin, Rodriguez decided he wanted to box again, although he had a difficult time finding a trainer who wanted to work with a 24-year-old novice. Жаттықтырушы Eddie Haynes gave Rodriguez an opportunity to join Team Certified, which includes former world title challenger Анхель Манфреди, who also works Rodriguezcorner.
After a brief yet undefeated amateur career, highlighted by Rodriguezgold-medal performance in the in the Milwaukee Golden Gloves Championships, Jose turned pro last July in Milwaukee against Nicholas Brand. Қазір, he has a pair of first-round knockouts, the last this past September against Richard Tallmadge, who was coached by Nate Jones, иронически, also an American Olympic bronze-medal winner in 1996.
Rodriguez, who drives 1 ½-hours to train at his gym, works the night shift in a factory. “I fight for my wife and three children,” the 29-year-old Rodriquez said. “This is a very important fight for me because, when I knock him out, it’ll open doors for me and my team. I train very hard every day because I want to make a living boxing, or at least enough to work less hours, so I can see my kids more than the hour a day I do now. I’ve already lost too much time
This is going to be a good action-fight, басынан аяғына дейін, as long as it lasts. I like to fight inside, putting a lot of pressure on my opponent. I don’t want to leave it in the hands of the judges. No decision, I’m knocking him out. If he thinks this is going to be an easy fight, he’ll know who I am after our fight. Мен оған аяқтау бара жатырмын!”

2016 Olympic bronze medalist Nico Hernandez Returns to headline “Жылдам өрт” in Kansas

ДЕРЕУ ТАРАТУ ҮШІН
Маусым 17 on CBS Sports Network, live from Hartman Arena

PARK CITY, Канзас (Мамыр 1, 2017) – 2016 Олимпиаданың қола жүлдегері Нико Эрнандес сақина қайтарады Сенбі, Маусым 17, Екінші кәсіпқой жекпе-жегін Вичитадағы үйінде өткізді. “KO Түнгі Бокс: Жылдам өрт” эфирге болады (10 p.m. ЖӘНЕ / 7 p.m. PT) CBS спорт желісінде Парк-Ситидегі Хартман Аренадан тікелей эфирде, Канзас.
Wichita native Hernandez will face unbeaten Mexican flyweight Хосе Родрикес (2-0, 2 КО)алты раундтық негізгі жарыста.
Наурызда кәсіби дебюті 25ші, Hernandez turned in an impressive performance, entertaining nearly 3,200 passionate Kansas fans as he defeated Patrick Gutierrez in the fourth round of the main event. The fight was also televised on CBS Sports Network.

The 21-year-old Hernandez displayed tremendous poise and a few tweaks to his amateur style, adding a devastating body attack, in addition to effectively switching from his orthodox stance to southpaw at times.

I feel that there will be even more people there this fight than at my pro debut,” - деді Эрнандес. “I live only a 10 to 15-minute drive from Hartman Arena, north of Wichita.
I worked hard on body punching for my pro debut. I didn’t do that in the amateurs (no scoring points) and I’m getting use to switching to southpaw. Both were in our game plan and successful in my firsts fight. I’m excited to get right back in the ring, especially at home. Our plan is to fight every two to three months and have a total of four fights this year.

Gutierrez was the perfect opponent for Nico’s pro debut,” түсініктеме John Andersen, who promotes Hernandez as well as the June 17ші көрсету. “He was tough but now it’s time to step it up a little against a 2-0 opponent with two knockouts. Nico is starting to climb the ladder to get him where we want him to go. We need to move him quicker than an average fighter, largely due to his amateur background, and he’ll probably have only one more six-round bout after this before moving him up to eight.
I thought he looked a little nervous in his pro debut at the start, but that’s expected for a fighter making his pro debut at home in front of nearly 3,200 адамдар, and after that he was great. We couldn’t have asked for anything more and he did get in some rounds that will be helpful.
This fight will be close to where Nico lives. Nico really connects to kids in the community, often speaking at local schools, and this is the perfect opportunity for parents to bring their children to watch him fight on a weekend night.
We’re calling this show, ‘Rapid Fire,’ primarily because of Nico’s exciting style, firing crisp combinations in rapid succession, in addition to his activity level as he comes right back to fight so quickly.
Эрнандес’ father and head trainer, Льюис Эрнандес, believes fans will see a more improved, well-rounded fighter in this fight. “Nico showed his body punching and he switched around a little to fight lefthanded,” he explained, “which weren’t part of his boxing style in the amateurs. Fans will see the fighter Nico really is but this fight he’ll get back to boxing more. I told him that he needed to go to the body as a professional fighter but that each punch doesn’t have to be as hard. Sometimes I need to remind him of that because he’s a fighter at heart.
I knew he’d be okay in his pro debut (nerves-wise) because he gets going as the fight goes on. When he hurts his opponent, he comes on even stronger. I just tell him to box and be himself. He’s always well-conditioned so he can go rounds without a problem. I want him to be fast and elusive to take away his opponentsbody and then, in later rounds, go back to boxing. He fought at 115-pounds but he’ll be back to 112 for this fight. Nico was strong at 115 and he’ll be very strong at flyweight.
A 29-year-old native of Mexico who fights out of Markesan, Wisconsin, Rodriguez (2-0, 2 КО) has two first-round knockouts in a pair of pro fights. Rodriguez is trained by four-time world title challenger Анхель Манфреди, whose invaluable experience from fighting Флойд Мэйуэзер, Jr., Stevie Johnston мен Диего Corrales certainly aids his fighter. Manfredy (43-8-1, 32 КО) had statement victories over Артуро Gatti, Julio Diaz мен Ivan Robinson, көп Қала арасында.

U.S. Olympian Nico Hernandez Building Wichita into a fight town

ДЕРЕУ ТАРАТУ ҮШІН
“KO Түнгі Бокс: History Begins
Encore presentation Осы сенбі night on CBSSN

(photo by Charles Yellowfeather)
WICHITA, Канзас (Наурыз 31, 2017)Last Saturday night at Kansas Star Arena in nearby Mulvane, 2016 Олимпиаданың қола жүлдегері Нико Эрнандес planted a seed in hopes of growing Wichita into a fight town, as world champions Теренс Crawford мен Ұрыс Деонтей Уайлдер have already accomplished in the respective hometowns, Омаха (NE) and Birmingham (AL).
Гөрі көбірек 3,100 fans purchased tickets Hernandezsuccessfully professional debut, тоқтату Pat Gutierrez төртінші раундта. To put that attendance figure in its proper perspective, Wichita has a population of less than 400,000 and in this hoop-crazed state, the appropriately named “KO Түнгі Бокс: History Beginswent head-to-head with the popular Kansas Jayhawks quintet playing on national television in the Elite Eight of the NCAA college basketball championship, as well as The Wichita Force playing at home in indoor football.
The 21-year-old Hernandez is practically a sports franchise in Wichita, second only to the Wichita State University (WSU) men’s basketball team. The city turned out in force at a parade honoring Hernandez upon his return home from the Olympics and WSU awarded him an open-ended four-year college scholarship.
“KO Түнгі Бокс: History BeginsEncore Presentation Осы сенбі түн
The encore presentation of last Saturday’s “KO Түнгі Бокс: History Begins,” featuring the pro debut of 2016 Olympic Bronze medalist Nico Hernandez, эфирге болады Осы сенбі (Сәуір 1), бастап 8:30 p.m. ЖӘНЕ, on CBS Sports Network.
The show was a huge success and Nico, as a pro fighter, produced a more complete body of work than we had expected,” Эрнандес’ промоутер John Andersen (KO Түнгі Бокс) деді. “I was very impressed. His amateur background converted to an even better pro style. It really showed his potential and that’s one of the primary reasons we signed him. We really believed in Nico. He is the only fighter we have signed, дәл қазір; Nico is our stable! We see things from a different angle than big-time promoters. We understood that he’s a hometown hero, so we had him headline at home his pro debut on national television (CBS Sports Network). We produce our shows on television and we enjoy telling stories like Nico’s. We’d like to come right back to Wichita with Nico fighting in June.
Lifelong Kansas Sean Wheelock, a non-paid member of the Kansas Athletic Commission that oversees boxing, in addition to calling last Saturday’s fights as a member of the KO Night Boxing announcing team on CBS Sports Network, has a unique perspective on the significance of last Saturday evening’s in terms of local boxing history.
It was huge for Kansas boxing,” Wheelock explained, “the biggest show in this state since the Tommy Morrison Era (early-to-mid 1990’s). Morrison was an adopted son, дегенмен. Nico was born here and he has a deep investment in the Wichita community. Drawing 3000-plus for his pro debut, in a non-boxing market, was phenomenal and he has the potential to do what Crawford has done in Omaha and Wilder in Birmingham. Boxing has strong roots in Kansas and across the Midwest, but MMA has taken over and lately, most boxing in Kansas has been on hybrid shows with MMA and kickboxing.
Fans were loudly chanting, ‘Nicoand ‘316’ (Wichita’s area code) бұрын, during and after his fight. I’ve never heard fans chanting for a city like they did, ‘Wichita’, for an individual athlete. And they were also chanting ‘USA’. As a native Kansas, I’m proud that this state has become more ethnically and culturally diverse with more Hispanics living in Wichita. Nico is engaged in the Hispanic community and he is a fantastic kid, де. Because of his personality and fighting style, he can draw locally from Wichita, throughout all of Kansas, and nationally among Hispanics and Americans across the country because of his accomplishment in the Olympics.
Hernandez is also fighting in one of the hottest divisions in boxing — 115-pound junior bantamweight/super flyweightshowcasing name fighters such as Naoya Inoue, Roman Gonzalez, Карлос блоктары, Juan Francisco Estrada and recent addition Srisaket Sor Rungvisai. Conspicuously absent, дегенмен, are top 20 ranked American fighters in this weight class, excluding 36-year-old Brian Viloria, the four-time, two-division (junior flyweight and flyweight) әлем чемпионы. The opportunity is right there for Hernandez to quickly establish himself as the preeminent American boxer in this weight class.
There’s no reason for Nico to fight outside of Wichita for a couple of years as he develops,” Андерсен атап өтті. “I feel that he can win a regional title next year. Our goal is to have him in a world title fight position within three years. Our goal is to get him 13 қарай 15 fights and then promote a super fight in Wichita. He started out in a six-round fight. I think he’ll only have a couple more and then move up to eight-round bouts.
Nico doesn’t waste a lot of punches, so the number of scheduled rounds won’t be a problem for him. Another fighter would have punched himself out in two rounds, fighting at home in front of a crowed like he had supporting him, but Nico showed tremendous poise, settling down and putting his punches together very well. He didn’t chase Gutierrez, he effectively cut off the ring, and his powerful body attack was something he didn’t do as an amateur. We wanted to see how he reacted to resistance and he passed that test with flying colors.
Andersen noted that his company has promoted several successful shows, noting the big difference is last weekend’s show featured a world-class fighter in Hernandez. “Making the Olympics was a big deal for Nico,” Andersen added, “whether he medaled or not. Nico is to us what Мэнни Пакьяо is to Top Rank, ‘Canelo’ Альварес to Golden Boy. We’re lucky to start out with a fighter like Nico. Fighting in Wichita was risk for everybody but it’s already paying dividends.
We know who and what we are as a promotional company. Nico is our top priority, our only fighter right now, and now we have a great opportunity to build off last weekend’s success. We give Nico all the attention he deserves and he’s going to take advantage of this situation. And we also discovered that there’s some other talented boxers in this market. Whit Hayden did a wonderful job making very competitive fights. That’s his history, he never has blowouts. Whit is one of the most knowledgeable people I know in boxing. He’s the perfect matchmaker to guide Nico’s career, along with Nico’s father (басшысы жаттықтырушы) Lewis Эрнандес, who we work closely with in many ways, in and out of the ring.
