Aided by promoters and managers, they seek to raise those unblemished records to double digits, usually against lesser opponents. Then, maybe, they fight each other.

Matthew Baca and Yorden Hernandez say, why mess around?

Friday at the YDI Wool Warehouse, Baca (2-0, two knockouts) and Hernandez (2-0, one KO) will face each other in a scheduled six-round welterweight bout.

For one of the two, there’s a lot to lose.

Neither plans to be that guy.

“I know (Baca) can be tough,” Hernandez said Friday at a news conference. “We’ve done some sparring before. But with the training I’ve been doing, I think I’ll be the one with the victory at the end of the night.”

Baca, perhaps, has more to lose than Hernandez does. The 2012 West Mesa graduate is under contract to Lenny Fresquez, Holly Holm’s promoter, and is slotted for a fight on the May 11 Holm-Mary McGee card at Route 66 Hotel Casino.

Baca said he doesn’t worry about such things.

“I consider this a test for me, and that’s what I want,” he said. “I want to be tested. I want to show everyone who I am.”

Friday’s main event is an eight-round welterweight bout between Albuquerqueans Josh Torres (10-2-1, four KOs) and Jose Luis Sanchez (2-0, one KO).

Neither Torres nor Sanchez attended Friday’s news conference. Torres was working; Sanchez is in Las Cruces serving as a sparring partner for world champion Austin Trout in preparation for his April 20 title bout against Saul “Canelo” Alvarez.

The Torres-Sanchez pairing might be more unusual than the Baca-Hernandez match, considering the disparity in the fighters’ professional experience.

But Alan Sanchez, who represented his brother at Friday’s news conference, said the decision to take the Torres fight was made without hesitation.

“(Jose Luis) had more than 100 amateur fights,” Alan Sanchez said. “… He’s fought the best in the amateurs, and he’s ready to fight (the best) in the pros.”

The card also features a third fight between featherweights Nohime Dennisson (4-2-2, no KOs) of Albuquerque and Amanda Crespin (7-4-1, two KOs) of Las Vegas, N.M.

This is not a rubber match; Dennisson won the first two fights by decision.

“The third fight, I’m not gonna leave it to the judges,” Crespin said.

Dennisson, asked why she would give Crespin a third shot at her, said she sees the fight as a victory opportunity for herself and not Crespin.

“I’m just in it to fight because I really enjoy fighting, regardless of who the opponent is,” she said.

HOLM AND HOME: Fresquez, Holm’s promoter, told Ring Magazine he would accept a match for his fighter against Norway’s Cecilia Braekhus only if the Norwegian’s promoter would agree to a contract for two fights — one on each boxer’s home turf.

Fresquez said he doesn’t care where the first of the two fights take place, but “it has to be both places because they feel they’re going to get robbed here and I feel we’re going to get robbed there.”

Whether it’s one fight or two, Holm-Braekhus is on the back burner for now. Albuquerque’s Holm (32-3, nine KOs) is scheduled to face McGee (20-1, 11 KOs) of Gary, Ind., at Route 66 Hotel Casino on May 11; Braekhus (21-0, five KOs) has an April 13 fight in Denmark against American Mia St. John (47-12-3, 18 KOs).
