For Immediate Release
Tacoma, WA (April 1, 2012) – Lightweight hopeful Jose “Loco” Hernandez took another step in the right direction after pounding out a unanimous decision over Peter Oluoch Saturday evening at the Emerald Queen Casino in Tacoma.
Headlining the 86th edition of Halquist Productions’ “Battle at the Boat”, Hernandez picked his spots but did so with bad intentions, firing vicious shots every time he moved his hands. Oluoch had his moments and hung in tough, but Hernandez’ hard punches ultimately earned him the victory.
Hernandez, of Fort Worth, TX, improves to 13-5-1 with 5 wins by knockout. Oluoch, a Kenya native, is now 11-6-2 (6 KO’s).
In the co-featured bout of the evening, crowd favorite and retired marine Nate Serrano got back in the winners circle by stopping 6’2 Nick Balestra in the second round of their welterweight affair.
The towering Sacramento, CA native briefly silenced the pro-Serrano crowd by scoring a flash knockdown in the second, but the tides quickly turned. Serrano, who hails from nearby Yakima, WA, popped up immediately and decked Balestra. Balestra made it back to his feet but had no time to recover, meeting the canvas seconds later after being tagged by Serrano. The game visitor attempted to make it back to his feet but fell through the ropes, which forced the referee to stop the bout at 1:54.
Serrano raises his professional ledger to 4-1 with 3 knockouts. Balestra slips to 2-2-1 (1 KO).
In other undercard bouts, Lisette Medal defeated Sarah Pucek in an exciting five round ladies bout, while Ray Lampkin, Isaac Tadeo and Jonathan Zumudio also emerged victorious.
Fans were also entertained by Halquist Productions’ new ring announcer Danny Bonaduce.
“This was a very good event,” said Promoter Brian Halquist. “None of the fights were boring, Danny was awesome as the MC and most importantly, the fans had a great time.”
The next edition of “Battle at the Boat” takes place June 2 at the Emerald Queen.
During the last 23 years, Halquist Productions built a reputation in the boxing world for their loyalty, honesty and integrity. In 1997, Halquist Productions ran their inaugural “Battle at the Boat” series, which remains successful to this day.

Hernandez-Oluoch Showdown Tops “Battle at the Boat 86”!
Tacoma, WA (March 14, 2012) – Lightweights Jose Hernandez and Peter Oluoch will meet Saturday, March 31 in the ten round main event of Halquist Productions’ “Battle at the Boat 86”.
The card takes place at the Emerald Queen Casino in Tacoma and tickets are available on ticketmaster.com or by calling the EQC box office at 1-888-831-7655.
Dubbed as “Loco” for his fearlessness inside the squared circle, Hernandez, 12-5-1 (5 KO’s), is consistently fighting top-notch competition. Spending much of his career in his opponents’ backyards, Hernandez lost a number of controversial decisions and the six fights he did not win came against fighters with a combined record of 85-4-1. The Fort Worth, TX native also defeated contender Noe Bolanos and prospect Aaron Garcia, knocking out the latter in 5 rounds to capture the WBC Youth title back in 2009.
Oluoch, who’s traveling more than 9,000 from Nairobi, Kenya for his American debut, fought 17 of his 18 bouts in Africa. At 11-5-2 (6 KO’s), Oluoch went the distance with contenders Justin Juuko, Rustam Nugaev and Bethuel Uushona.
“This is going to be an outstanding fight,” stated promoter Brian Halquist of Halquist Productions. “Both guys have been in extremely tough and proved that they can hang with the best. I’m excited for this fight and regardless of whose hand is raised after the match the real winner will be the fans.”
In the co-featured bout of the evening, retired Marine turned wildly popular welterweight Nate Serrano, 3-1 (1 KO), of Yakima, WA faces Sacramento CA’s Nick Balestra, 2-1-1 (1 KO), in a six rounder. Serrano is coming off a controversial majority decision loss to Roberto Crespo in January.
