The “Huracan” Calls Out “The Ace”!
“Ada Velez just got a draw against Kaliesha West and now says she’s ready for more fights?? She’s also has been spending a lot of time saying she’s the best Puerto Rican female fighter” Hernandez said during a break in training at Gleasons Gym, “but I am. I was born in Puerto Rico. I’m ranked #1 there and here in the USA. Ada, if you want a good fight, come see me. I”m looking for a good fight. A fight with me and you is long overdue. Let’s see if the “Ace” can survive a “Huracan”, or if she comes out looking like a Joker when she plays her hand against me. Call my manager Brian Cohen and let’s make this happen!”
In addition to calling out Velez, Hernandez is wasting no time in making 2010 a busy year. February 19 at the Tri States Sports Complex in Ashton, PA she is scheduled for a 6 round bout at 126 pounds against Lakeysha Williams on a card promoted by Al Thompson.
