It was the year 2008, in Manchester England the rather unknown Colombian boxer Breidis Prescott presented himself, who had an undefeated record of 19-0-17kos, despite his undefeated record, everyone thought that he would be defeated by the undefeated prospect and ex olimpian Amir Khan, But that August 6, 2008 Prescott surprised the entire United Kingdom and the world by knocking out Amir Khan in the first round with that victory Prescott was crowned WBO Intercontinental lightweight champion. After that victory many thought that Breidis Prescott would have a successful career, after the victory over Amir Khan he beat Humberto Toledo and in his next fight he would lose his undefeated record against Miguel Vazquez. He would travel to the United Kingdom again, but this result would be unfortunate because he would lose to Kevin Mitchell, after that loss he would have 3 wins in a row against unknown rivals. After those 3 wins, he would have a new important opportunity when he fought for a WBA World Championship eliminator in England but the result was negative after losing to Paul McCloskey in a close decision. At that time his record was 24 wins 3 losses, today he has a record of 31 wins and 22 losses, that is sad because he has only been able to win 7 of his last 26 fights. Within their last 26 fights he had as rivals Mike Alvarado to whom he lost by knockout (in that fight the IBF Latino title was at stake) Terrence Crawford, with whom he would lose by unanimous decision Roberto Garcia to whom he lost by unanimous decision Subriel Matias before whom he would fall knocked out in 4 rounds and would be knocked out in 1 round by Yair Gallardo, a boxer who only had 1 professional fight, and in his last fight he fell to Samuel Arnold by knockout in the first round. Breidis Prescott from knocking out Amir Khan, to being done having 10 losses in a row.

Genaro "Chicanito" Hernández, born on January 10, 1966, in Los Angeles, California, had an illustrious career in the world of professional boxing. Known for his skillful technique, determination, and resilience, Hernández left an indelible mark on the sport, becoming a champion in his weight class and inspiring aspiring boxers around the world. Hernández's boxing journey began at a young age, fueled by his passion and natural talent for the sport. He trained rigorously, honing his skills and developing a distinctive style characterized by his speed, agility, and precision in the ring. As he rose through the ranks, his talent became increasingly evident, and he quickly gained recognition as a formidable opponent. In 1991, Hernández had his breakthrough moment when he challenged and defeated the formidable Azumah Nelson to become the WBC Super Featherweight Champion. This victory solidified his status as one of the top fighters in his division and marked the beginning of a remarkable championship reign. Throughout his career, Hernández faced some of the most skilled boxers of his time, engaging in memorable battles that showcased his tenacity and determination. One of his most notable fights came against Oscar De La Hoya in 1995. Despite ultimately losing the match, Hernández's performance demonstrated his resilience and fighting spirit, earning him respect from fans and fellow boxers alike. Hernández's dedication to his craft extended beyond his own success. He served as a mentor and role model for aspiring boxers, sharing his knowledge and experiences to inspire the next generation. His commitment to the sport and his willingness to give back to the boxing community made him a beloved figure in the boxing world. Unfortunately, Hernández's career was cut short due to a hand injury that forced him to retire in 1998. Despite this premature end to his time in the ring, his legacy as a champion and a skilled boxer remains intact. He left an indelible impact on the sport, showcasing the importance of skill, strategy, and perseverance in achieving greatness. Beyond his achievements inside the squared circle, Hernández was known for his humility and sportsmanship. He carried himself with grace and dignity, earning the admiration and respect of fans worldwide. His contributions to the sport of boxing extend far beyond his accolades, leaving a lasting impression on the boxing community and inspiring future generations of fighters. After retiring from boxing Hernández was diagnosed with stage four rhabdomyosarcoma of the head and neck, a very rare form of cancer, and one which Hernández's insurance would not cover for treatment. Although Hernández collected several large purses in his career, including $600,000 for his final fight against Mayweather, he was not able to afford his expensive treatments and benefits were held to assist in paying what insurance would not cover. Top Rank Promotions, who promoted Hernández, footed Hernandez' bills for chemotherapy for a number of years, until Hernandez died, also having him brought to and from the chemotherapy sessions. In mid 2009 it was reported that Hernández' cancer was in remission but in early 2010 the cancer had returned and Hernández was undergoing treatment. On June 3, 2011, it was announced that Hernández would stop chemotherapy treatment. Hernández died from cancer on June 7, 2011, at the age of 45. Floyd Mayweather paid for Hernández's funeral expenses out of appreciation that Hernández gave him his first world title shot and didnt have too.
