“It is a great opportunity for my career to be on a fight card in Las Vegas and I will take advantage of it, I am going in with everything, even if I go out drenched in blood to pull out the win,” Hernandez stated.
In his last bout last October in Tijuana, Hernandez knocked out Jose Cardenas in nine rounds and before that he stopped the veteran Hector Velazquez in June of last year.

“He has his talents and I have mine, I have prepared myself with a great deal of dedication for seven weeks and my mind is only focused in taking advantage of the opportunity and to win and that is the way it is going to be,” the Zanfer promoted fighter said.
