“Macho"
Miguel Hernandez Heads to Miami on Frebruary 10th for Middleweight Title
Fight
Coming off a terrific performance last weekend against Butch Hajicek on
the SHOBOX undercard in Cicero, IL, “MACHO” Miguel Hernandez, 18-3
(9KO’s) will battle Ryan Davis, 19-4-2 (8 KO’s) of St. Louis, MO for the
WBC USA Middleweight Title on Friday, February 10th at the United Bank
Center in Miami, FL, it was announced today by Dominic Pesoli, President
of 8 Count Productions, HOME OF THE BEST IN CHICAGO BOXING.
Hernandez, one of Chicagoland’s most popular fighters since turning
professional three years ago, won a unanimous decision against Hajicek,
with a dominating performance as he smothered the tough North Dakota
native from the opening bell, dropping him three times over the course
of the fight.
Said the classy Hernandez about his crowd pleasing, action packed
performance, “I felt great right from the start. My conditioning was
terrific and I was able to start very well. Butch was a very tough,
heavy handed guy but I was able to move well and avoid his punches while
staying aggressive.”
Speaking further about conditioning and training, Miguel said “No matter
who I fight in the future, I won’t cheat myself. If someone beats me,
they’ll have beaten the best of me. Dominic puts me in a position to
succeed and it’s my job to be 100% prepared for each
fight and that I will be, starting with the Hajicek fight and with the
upcoming Davis title fight.”
About Ryan Davis, Hernandez, the father of three sons, said, “He was a
terrific amateur, a multiple time Golden Gloves champ. I’ve wanted to
fight him for a while and this is another great opportunity for me to
test myself. “
Hernandez finished by stating, “I’m thankful to the Chicago fans who
have been terrific to me throughout my career, they were great last
weekend. The victory is dedicated to my cousin, who’s battling an
illness, hopefully things will get better for him soon.”
Said Pesoli about the fight, ‘Miguel looked very good last weekend at
our Cicero Stadium show, he was dominant right from the outset against a
pretty
tough kid. He’s in great shape and the Davis fight is a very good
opportunity, against another solid guy for a stepping stone title. I’m
very happy for Miguel, he’s off to a great start this year. “
The ten round Hernandez/Davis fight tops a seven bout card presented by
Bigstar Promotions with tickets available in advance through
Ticketmaster. The fight will be broadcast by Comcast Cable on a tape
delayed basis.
