on October 23rd between the WBO Junior Lightweight World Champion.

For his grandson, I'd say that they were crazy, but I've known Nico's mother since she was

a little girl, she's a twin, and I've known the family, and they're great people.

Nico went to the best, one of the best schools in Nevada, where he lives, as I do, Las Vegas,

Bishop Gorman, and now is a student at UNLV, so he's on the path to the future as an educated

young man, and I've seen him in the gym, he has ability, now nobody is saying, you know,

boastfully, that ability is like his grandfather, as we don't know, and we don't expect that,

but he has ability, he won his first fight, and this is his second fight, and I know he's

very happy to be fighting here in Atlanta.

Well, I'm sure you can echo those sentiments.

How excited are you to be back here in a place that meant so much to your grandfather,

to your family, and making your second professional fight on a World Championship card with

Chacour and Jamal, too?

Yeah, well, I mean, first of all, it's an honor to be, you know, sitting here with Chacour

students and Jamal Herring, I mean, it's an honor to be a part of this card, and I think

it's very important to me to be in Atlanta because of the history, obviously, with my

grandfather and my aunt fought here as well, so it's just a really exciting time in my

life, and I'm really excited for this journey.

Your pro debut, how did you feel, one fight under your belt, I'd have to imagine a little

bit of weight has to be off your shoulders getting that one under your belt as we move

forward here to fight number two, how did you feel after your first fight, and kind

of the attention that I garnered afterwards?
