Melissa “El Huracan” Hernandez, who challenges Holly Holm Dec. 4, certainly had the gift of gab at a press conference held at Isleta Resort & Casino. “The tall will fall,” she told the media. “Holly is not the pound-for-pound best. I am No. 1. I am woman’s boxing. She may have the judges and the referees and the hometown on her side, but her run-in and hit-and-hold style is no match for me. I am declaring rabbit season on Holly Holm.” As expected, Holm was entirely respectful and would not counter Hernandez’s smack talk, saying only that it would serve as motivation for training. Stay tuned for a story tomorrow.
