MULVANE, Канзас (Март 20, 2017) –– 2016 Olympic bronze medalist Nico Hernandez will join an elite group в эту субботу night as he makes his professional debut in the “KO Night бокса: History Begins” main event, вентиляция (9 p.m. И / 6 p.m. PT) on CBS Sports Network live from Kansas Star Arena in Mulvane, Канзас.

In his six-round bout against upset-minded Las Vegas (Невада) легкий вес Патрик Гутьеррес (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.

“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. Так, Я не могу потерять. На олимпиаде, 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, речь идет. If it happens, it happens, but not going in there looking for a knockout. I’m used to fighting only three rounds (как любитель) но, 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.”
