"Training was good. It was like regular training camps. Nothing different." Paredes is a bit of an unknown as there is not much footage on him, but that did nit seem to faze Hirsch. "All I know is that he has a good record and I did not watch any footage of him." His football career prepared him for fights like this where he has to go into another man's hostile territory, but Hirsch again spoke confidently in saying, "I don't get concerned about that. I show up and compete and do my best every time. It doesn't matter the location." Hirsch is eager at the opportunity to perform in front of a worldwide audience on GSS first live stream on YouTube. "Anytime I fight, I am introduced to a new market with an opportunity to gain new fans, I am excited that I can grow my brand. That translates in to more money!!" Hirsch is a natural athlete as he played for both the Raiders and the San Jose SaberCats of the Arena Football League. "After playing for the Raiders, I picked up boxing just to work out. I decided I liked it and began training harder at it and the rest is history." That led Hirsch to a brief amateur career where he went 6-1 and won the 2006 San Francisco Golden Gloves tournament. "I am influenced by Sugar Ray Leonard and Roy Jones because of their styles and great work ethic. They were always ready to get into the ring and get it done. Before my fights, I am just ready to get into the ring and get it done."
