MULVANE, קנזס (מרץ 20, 2017) –– 2016 Olympic bronze medalist Nico Hernandez will join an elite group בשבת קרובה night as he makes his professional debut in the “אגרוף KO הלילה: History Begins” אירוע מרכזי, הִתאַורְרוּת (9 p.m. ו / 6 p.m. PT) on CBS Sports Network live from Kansas Star Arena in Mulvane, קנזס.
“אגרוף KO הלילה: History Begins” is presented by KO Night Boxing LLC, in association with Kansas Star Casino, and sponsored by Miller Lite, Mel Hambelton FORD and TITLE Boxing.
In his six-round bout against upset-minded Las Vegas (NV) Flyweight פטריק גוטיירס (0-2), Wichita-native Hernandez will become only the fourth United States Olympic medalist in the last 40 years to make his pro debut at home in a nationally televised main event.
The other three members of this special quartet, all Olympic gold medalists and pro debut winners, include Hall of Famer “סוכר” ריי לאונרד (פבואר. 5, 1977, in Baltimore, MD, אלוף עולם שני זמן מארק Breland and world title challenger פול “Super Fly” גונזלס.
“It’s a great feeling,” the 21-year-old Hernandez said from training camp. “I am feeling some pressure but, once I’m in the ring, everything goes away. There definitely is some pressure on me because I’m fighting where everybody knows me in my hometown. אז, אני לא יכול להפסיד. באולימפיאדה, all the Americans there gave me more energy to win. I didn’t want to lose in front of my people. Fighting at home will push me to do my best.
“I’m not really focused on fighting on national television. I’m going out there to put on a boxing clinic and, if the knockout comes, it comes. If it happens, it happens, but not going in there looking for a knockout. I’m used to fighting only three rounds (כחובבן) אבל, as the fight goes on, I’ve always gotten better. Six rounds do give me more time to work on my opponent and do more damage.”
