2016 Olympic bronze medalist Nico Hernandez Dedicated to building boxing in Wichita & across Kansas

Airing live on CBS Sports Network from
Hartman Arena in Kansas
PARK CITY, Kansas (Jun 1, 2017) – Wichita-native Nico Hernandez (1-0, 1 KO), yang 2016 Pemenang pingat gangsa Olimpik, is on a mission to establish his home as a realfight townlike world champion Terence Crawford has done in Omaha, Nebraska.
The 21-year-old Hernandez returns to action Sabtu, Jun 17, in the six-round main event against Mexican-born flyweight opponent Jose Rodriguez (2-0, 2 KOs), headlining “KO Boxing Night: Api Pantas”, which will air (10 petang. DAN / 7 petang. PT) di CBS Sports Network secara langsung dari Hartman Arena di Park City, Kansas.
“KO Boxing Night: Api Pantas” adalah persembahan KO Night Boxing LLC.
Hernandez drew nearly 3,200 fans for his professional debut, Mac 25, di Mulvane berhampiran (KS), in which he knocked out Patrick Gutierrez pada pusingan keempat acara utama, which was also televised live on CBS Sports Network.
Hernandez’ promoter, KO Boxing Night, LLC, 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,” promoter John Andersen berkata. “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.

Hernandez yang berasal dari Wichita (1-0, 1 KO) will be fighting at home against Rodriquez (2-0, 2 KOs), a flyweight living in Wisconsin,in the six-round main event that will air (10 petang. DAN / 7 petang. PT) di CBS Sports Network secara langsung dari Hartman Arena di Park City, Kansas.
“KO Boxing Night: Api Pantas” adalah persembahan KO Night Boxing LLC.
Hernandez drew nearly 3,200 fans for his professional debut, Mac 25, di Mulvane berhampiran (KS), in which the 21-year-old future star stopped Patrick Gutierrez pada pusingan keempat acara utama, 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. Jurulatih Eddie Haynes gave Rodriguez an opportunity to join Team Certified, which includes former world title challenger Malaikat Manfredy, 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. Sekarang, he has a pair of first-round knockouts, the last this past September against Richard Tallmadge, who was coached by Nate Jones, ironinya, 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, dari awal hingga akhir, 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, Saya mengetuknya. If he thinks this is going to be an easy fight, he’ll know who I am after our fight. Saya akan menyelesaikan dia!”
Unbeaten Canadian featherweight MarcGwapoPagcaliwangan (10-0-1, 8 KOs) takes on Mexican invader malaikat “Terrible” Monrreal (9-8-1, 3 KOs) dalam ciri bersama lapan pusingan.

Hernandez yang berusia 21 tahun menunjukkan ketenangan yang luar biasa dan beberapa perubahan terhadap gaya amaturnya, menambahkan serangan badan yang dahsyat, di samping beralih secara berkesan dari sikap ortodoksnya ke southpaw pada masa-masa.

“Saya merasakan bahawa akan ada lebih banyak orang di sana dalam pertarungan ini daripada di debut pro saya,” Hernandez berkata. “Saya tinggal hanya seorang 10 hingga 15 minit pemanduan dari Hartman Arena, utara Wichita.
“Saya bekerja keras untuk menumbuk badan untuk debut pro saya. Saya tidak melakukan perkara itu pada amatur (tiada mata penjaring) dan saya terbiasa beralih ke southpaw. Kedua-duanya berada dalam rancangan permainan kami dan berjaya dalam pertarungan pertama saya. Saya teruja dapat kembali ke gelanggang, terutamanya di rumah. Rancangan kami adalah untuk bertarung setiap dua hingga tiga bulan dan mempunyai empat pertarungan tahun ini.”
“KO Boxing Night: Api Pantas” adalah persembahan KO Night Boxing LLC.
“Gutierrez adalah lawan yang sempurna untuk debut pro Nico,” komen John Andersen, yang mempromosikan Hernandez dan juga bulan Jun 17ke- persembahan. “Dia sukar tetapi kini tiba masanya untuk meningkatkannya sedikit 2-0 lawan dengan dua kalah mati. Nico mula menaiki tangga untuk membawanya ke tempat yang kami mahukan dia pergi. Kita perlu menggerakkannya lebih cepat daripada seorang pejuang biasa, sebahagian besarnya kerana latar belakang amaturnya, dan dia mungkin hanya akan mempunyai satu lagi pertarungan enam pusingan selepas ini sebelum menaikkannya hingga lapan.
“Saya fikir dia kelihatan sedikit gugup dalam debut pro pada awalnya, tetapi itu diharapkan bagi seorang pejuang yang membuat debut pro di rumah di hadapan hampir 3,200 orang, dan selepas itu dia hebat. Kami tidak dapat meminta apa-apa lagi dan dia berjaya dalam beberapa pusingan yang akan sangat membantu.
“Pertarungan ini akan dekat dengan tempat tinggal Nico. Nico sangat berhubung dengan anak-anak di komuniti, sering bercakap di sekolah tempatan, dan ini adalah peluang yang tepat bagi ibu bapa untuk membawa anak-anak mereka menyaksikan dia bertengkar pada malam hujung minggu.
“Kami memanggil rancangan ini, ‘Api Pantas,’ terutamanya kerana gaya Nico yang menarik, menembak kombinasi tajam berturut-turut, sebagai tambahan kepada tahap aktivitinya kerana dia kembali untuk berjuang dengan pantas.”
Hernandez’ bapa dan ketua jurulatih, Lewis Hernandez, percaya peminat akan melihat yang lebih baik, pejuang bulat dalam perjuangan ini. “Nico menunjukkan badannya menumbuk dan dia berpusing sedikit untuk melawan tangan kiri,” dia telah menerangkan, “yang bukan merupakan sebahagian daripada gaya tinjunya di amatur. Peminat akan melihat pejuang Nico sebenarnya tetapi pertarungan ini dia akan kembali tinju lagi. Saya memberitahunya bahawa dia perlu pergi ke badan sebagai pejuang profesional tetapi setiap pukulan tidak semestinya sukar. Kadang-kadang saya perlu mengingatkannya kerana dia adalah pejuang di hati.
“Saya tahu dia baik-baik saja dalam debut pro (saraf-bijak) kerana dia akan terus berjalan ketika pertarungan berlanjutan. Apabila dia menyakitkan lawannya, dia semakin kuat. Saya hanya memberitahu dia untuk membuat kotak dan menjadi dirinya sendiri. Dia sentiasa dikondisikan dengan baik sehingga dia boleh berpusing tanpa masalah. Saya mahu dia cepat dan sukar untuk menyingkirkan lawannya’ badan dan kemudian, pada pusingan kemudian, kembali ke tinju. Dia berjuang dengan berat £ 115 tetapi dia akan kembali 112 untuk perjuangan ini. Nico kuat pada 115 dan dia akan sangat kuat dengan berat badan.”
Seorang penduduk asli Mexico berusia 29 tahun yang bertarung dengan Markesan, Wisconsin, Rodriguez (2-0, 2 KOs) mempunyai dua kalah pusingan pertama dalam sepasang pergaduhan pro. Rodriguez dilatih oleh pencabar gelaran dunia empat kali Malaikat Manfredy, yang pengalamannya tidak ternilai dari bertempur Floyd Mayweather, Jr., Stevie Johnston dan Diego Corrales tentu menolong pejuangnya. Manfredy (43-8-1, 32 KOs) mempunyai kemenangan pernyataan Arturo Gatti, Julio Diaz dan Ivan Robinson, antara tokoh terkemuka yang lebih.

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

“KO Boxing Night: History Begins
Encore presentation Sabtu ini night on CBSSN

(photo by Charles Yellowfeather)
WICHITA, Kansas (Mac 31, 2017)Last Saturday night at Kansas Star Arena in nearby Mulvane, 2016 Pemenang pingat gangsa Olimpik Nico Hernandez planted a seed in hopes of growing Wichita into a fight town, as world champions Terence Crawford dan Deontay Wilder have already accomplished in the respective hometowns, Omaha (NE) and Birmingham (AL).
Lebih daripada 3,100 fans purchased tickets Hernandezsuccessfully professional debut, berhenti Pat Gutierrez pada pusingan keempat. 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 Boxing Night: 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 Boxing Night: History BeginsEncore Presentation Sabtu ini malam
The encore presentation of last Saturday’s “KO Boxing Night: History Begins,” featuring the pro debut of 2016 Olympic Bronze medalist Nico Hernandez, akan ke udara Sabtu ini (April 1), bermula 8:30 petang. DAN, di Rangkaian Sukan CBS.
The show was a huge success and Nico, as a pro fighter, produced a more complete body of work than we had expected,” Hernandez’ promoter John Andersen (KO Boxing Night) berkata. “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, sekarang; 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, walaupun. 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) sebelum, 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, terlalu. 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, Carlos Blok, Juan Francisco Estrada and recent addition Srisaket Sor Rungvisai. Conspicuously absent, Walau bagaimanapun, 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) juara dunia. 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,” Andersen berkata. “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 kepada 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 Manny Pacquiao is to Top Rank, ‘Canelo’ Alvarez 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 (Ketua jurulatih) Lewis Hernandez, who we work closely with in many ways, in and out of the ring.
