(APR 25) Luis Tapia, the manager of "Amazing" Layla McCarter contacted the promoter of Melissa Hernandez' May 7th fight and challenged Hernandez to "put up or shut up!" Tapia said the promoter seemed very interested in having McCarter replace Hernandez' opponent who had pulled out of the fight earlier this week but said he needed to speak with Melissa about it and would call Tapia back.
 

In a recent facebook article [Press Release] by Amy Green, Melissa Hernandez said,  "I'll fight anyone, I mean anyone, from 122-140."  "I don't listen to what all fake rankings say,” she said. “I'm the pound for pound queen. If any female feels different about it please do me the favor and fight me. I am womyns boxing.”  (Not a mis-spelling on WBAN for Women's)

Layla McCarter has something to say: “May 7th, Foxwoods Resort CT, 10 rounds, 135lbs. Forget belts, this is about pride. You claim to be the pound-4-pound best, with all of 15 fights. I’m going to do you a favor and give you a chance to back up all that big talk. I stopped you in our first fight, you won by majority decision in our second. I know you would rather beat Ela Nunez again, but you should fight me. The promoter is ready and I am ready. Are you ready?”
