Genaro Hernandez passes

From fightnews:

We have been told that former world champion Genaro “Chicanito” Hernandez passed away an hour ago. Hernandez was twice a world champion, holding both the WBA and WBC super featherweight belts and compiling a record of 38-2-1 with 17 KOs. He was a game warrior in the ring and fought all the greats of his time including Oscar de la Hoya and Floyd Mayweather Jr. After retirement he stayed in boxing, working as a boxing instructor and doing some television work. He fought a valiant fight for years against a rare form of cancer. He was just 45. Genaro was one of the good guys in boxing and he will be missed. Rest in peace “Chicanito.”

R.I.P. Chicanito!!!

Shit. I just read last week he stopped with the chemo.

RIP

RIP Champ. On Mayorgas twitter account a few days ago, he was reported that he was in bad condition. Sad to hear that he died.

This is a bad blow for those who followed him in So Cal all those years. Saw him fight at the Forum a bunch of times. A really good fighter, who was unbeaten for years at 130 until Mayweather got him. What stands out now is what a classy guy he was, a real sweetheart of a human being. I hope Chicanito has finally found peace. He left us too young.
