(JULY 22) Last night at the Centro de
Convenciones Atlapa, Panama City, Panama, super featherweight
Melissa Hernandez (10-1-2) won over undefeated Ambar Fajardo (6-0)
of Venezuela for the WBA intercontinental title.
According to Hernandez's team, they reported the following: "Ambar
came out strong and focused but she was no match for Melissa.
Round after round the speed and slick style [Hernandez] had Ambar
not knowing where to turn. At the sound of the sixth round bell,
Ambar didn't come out to fight giving Melissa the win by TKO."
On the website boxpanama.com,
they wrote the following: "Melissa “The Hurricane” Hernández
was way too good last night for the previously undefeated
Ámbar Fajardo of Venezuela, who, on the advice of her
corner, didn't come out for the sixth round, thereby
abandoning her WBA International Junior Lightweight belt to
the spunky Puerto Rican. “Hernández displayed tremendous
hand speed and accuracy in her punching,” reports Omar de la
Cruz of
Box Panama, “with most of the blows directed at
Fajardo's face."
"Next up for Melissa is Ana Julaton on August 1st, at the Agua
Caliente Casino, Rancho Mirage, California. She will be defending
her WIBA 130 lb world title," added Hernandez's team.
