Hernandez faces indefinite suspension
Melissa “Huracan” Hernandez is likely to face indefinite suspension, officials said following her actions Saturday night after pulling out last minute against Holly Holm at Isleta Casino & Resort.
According to Promoter Lenny Fresquez, who was able to get a hold of Hernandez after she’d returned to her hotel room, after 9 p.m., he was told that the situation “was nothing a little money wouldn’t fix.”
By that time, Fresquez had secured Victoria Cisneros, local Albuquerque jr. welterweight who was in the audience to watch the fight, to replace Hernandez. Rather than submit to Hernandez’s strong-arm tactics, Fresquez said, he went with Cisneros. Photo by Chris Cozzone: Hernandez after checking out the ring at 7 p.m.
