LAS VEGAS (Junie 26, 2017) — Fresh off his sensational stoppage of previously undefeated Jose “Mexican Diablo” Rodriguez, 2016 Olympic bronze medalist Nico Hernandez is riding the fast track to stardom on an exciting journey that’s just really started. In the June 17ste “KO Night Boxing: Rapid Fire” hoofren, which aired live on CBS Sports Network from Hartman Arena in Park City, Kansas, Hernandez improved his record to 2-0 (2 Uitklophoue), dropping Rodriguez three times and closing the show in the third round..
The 21-year-old Hernandez, veg uit Wichita, is already proving to be a better professional boxer that he was an amateur, despite all his accomplishments and achievements in the non-paying ranks, firing effective combinations from a wide variety of angles, including punishing body shots and devastating, powerful punches to his opponent’s head.
Because Hernandez fights in the featherweight division, which is void of overwhelming talent and lacks top-notch Americans, along with his amateur pedigree and experience fighting boxers with different styles, Hernandez can likely crack the world ratings this year, possibily getting a world title shot in 2018.
“I did my thing tonight,” Hernandez said after his June 17ste stryd. “I’ve fought the best at the Olympics, so I wasn’t worried about what he (Rodriguez) hy het. This fight was a little personal because he’d said he was knocking me out. I got tired of him and went into the ring trying to take him out. We can be friends now.
“I just need to stay on path and I will. I’ve been on the top since I started boxing when I was nine. I want to do what other Olympians like (Ander) Ward en (Vasyl) Lomanchenko have done…become world champion!”
The highest-rated flyweight in the world today is 36-year-old Brian Viloria (37-5, 22 Uitklophoue), the 4-time, 2-division world champion and 2000 U.S. Olimpiese. Considering his advanced age for a boxer, die “Hawaian Punch” will probably be retired by the time Hernandez is ready for a world title shot, leaving Oscar Cantu en Miguel Cartagena as the only American featherweights currently rated among the top 25 in die wêreld.
“Nico was great in his last fight and everybody is seeing what we want to do with him,” Hernadez’ promotor John Andersen (KO Night Boxing) opgemerk. “We need to step up the competition for him in his next fight, which will probably be his last six-round bout. Our plan is one more six and then an eight-rounder for the vacant World Boxing Council (WBC) International Youth featherweight title. But Nico has options because he can easily drop down to junior flyweight or move up to super flyweight. We’ll take things fight-by-fight with him with an eye on the immediate future for a world title fight.”
The featherweight division, nou, is led by a pair of stars, Kazuto Ioka, of Japan, and Filipino Donnie Nietes. The future of lower weight-classes may very well belong to Nico Hernandez.

LAS VEGAS (Desember 17, 2016) – Tonight’s final round of the 2016 “Uitklophou Night at the D” series ended in typical style as “Mighty” Aston Palicte won a 10-round split decision over previously undefeated “Lil'” Oscar Cantu in a terrific super flyweight match from start to finish inside the Downtown Las Vegas Events Center indoor facility.
Die “Uitklophou Night at the D” reeks, aangebied deur die D Las Vegasand Down town Las Vegas Events Center, was promoted by Roy Jones Jr. (RJJ) Boks Promotions. This evening’s seventh and final “Uitklop by die D” event in 2016 aired live on CBS Sports Network and streamed worldwide on FloBoxing.tv
The Palicte vs. Cantu main event, as expected, was a classic match-up of contrasting styles between a dangerous puncher (Palicte) and consummate boxer (Cantu). There was surprising non-stop action from the opening bell. Power punching Palicte (22-2, 18 Uitklophoue) pressed the action as the clear aggressor, but Cantu stood in the pocket, te, as the technician used his defensive skills to make things difficult for his world rated Filipino opponent.
Uiteindelik, it all came down to the 10ste ronde, which Palicte swept on all three judges’ scorecards for a hard-fought split decision victory by scores of 98-92, 96-94, 94-96. Palicte, gegradeerde Geen. 11 by the International Boxing Federation (IBF) en Geen. 15 deur die World Boxing Organisasie (WBO), took Cantu’s North American Boxing Federation (NABF) title belt in addition to capturing the vacant WBO Inter-Continental strap.
Cantu, wat gegradeerde Geen. 4 as a flyweight by the World Boxing Council (WBC), showed tremendous heart, granite chin and the ability to move extremely well, throwing punches from every conceivable angle. The difference, egter, proved to be Palicte’s slugging ability in this classic confrontation in which the puncher barely prevailed against the boxer.
In die mede-funksie, Jamaican junior middleweight Nathaniel “No Problem” Gallimore(16-1-1, 13 Uitklophoue) scored a spectacular first-round knockout of previously unbeaten Angelo “Bombardero” Baez (15-1-1, 11 Uitklophoue), the Chilean junior middleweight champion.
Gallimore hurt Baez midway through the opening round and then closed the show with vicious left to the liver that dropped Baez to his knees. In obvious pain, he was unable to get to his feet before the 10 count.
Galiimore (pictured above in green), who fights out of Chicago, dedicated the fight to his stablemate, die laat Ed Brown (20-0), who was murdered earlier this month. “I saw a tape of him (Baez) and knew he backed up to the ropes,” Gallimore explained the finish. “I practiced that shot in the gym and I’m very happy with the outcome. I told all my teammates back in Chicago that I was dedicating this fight to Ed Brown.”
Los Angeles junior middleweight Flavio Rodriguez (6-0, 5 Uitklophoue) kept his undefeated record intact against previously unbeaten Mexican fighter Dilan “El Tremendo” Loza(5-1, 3 Uitklophoue) in the television opener. Rodriguez, who one point during his 4 1/2-year hiatus from the ring weighed 90 pounds more than he entered the ring tonight, won by way of a third-round technical knockout. Loza was hurt by an accidental shot to the base of his head in the third and he was later dropped in the same round by the heavy-handed Rodriguez. Skeidsregter Jay Nady halted the bout after the third round.

“Vir die grootste deel,” Rodriguez said, “he didn’t do anything different. I thought I controlled the fight with my jab. My boy, Lion (Santa Cruz, friends from LA), was a world champion and I want to get to his level.”
In a battle of unbeaten welterweight prospects, tuisdorp gunsteling Jeremy “J-flits” Nichols (7-0-1, 2 Uitklophoue) and San Diego’s Kevin “KO” Ottley (3-0-1) fought to a 6-round draw.

RJJ-promoted fighters, junior liggewig Randy “Die Matador” Moreno (8-0, 7 Uitklophoue) en kapokgewig Max “The Baby-Faced Assassin” Ornelas (7-0, 3 Uitklophoue), were both successfully showcased on the undercard.
Fast moving Moreno won his eighth fight in nine months, stop “Geld” Mike Fowler (5-4, 2 Uitklophoue) in die vierde ronde. Moreno improves each fight, showing incredible poise for a 21-year old boxer, and he legitimately rates as a national prospect to watch.

Ornelas dropped Jorge Perez (6-5-1, 3 Uitklophoue) in the second round on his way to a shutout decision over four rounds. The 18-year-old Ornelas recorded the seventh win of his 6-month pro career.
Ornelas (L) is nou 7-0 and only 18 jaar oud
Ook veg op die undercard, Texas junior featherweight Jessie “Die een” Hernandez verbeter 8-1 (6 Uitklophoue) with a 6-round unanimous decision over Sharone “Smoke” Carter (6-2, 2 Uitklophoue).
