Famoso retires after loss!
By Byron Spurlock
Carlos "Famoso" Hernandez announced his retirement after dropping a unanimous decision Thursday night in San Antonio, Texas. At first, an emotional Hernandez struggled to get the words out. "My time...in this career...if I'm going to get knocked down back-to-back it's time to call it a career. I don't want to get hurt in this business. I have beautiful children....I feel bad that I couldn't win, but you know, I think that everyone who saw me knows I won't get knocked out or I won't go down, I'll keep coming, I'm relentless, I persevere. That's my motto, 'perseverance pays off.' I think I'll just persevere in another career. I don't know what that may be, but I'm going to keep succeeding in life."

Hernandez ends with a record of 42-7-1 with 24 KOs. He held the IBF 130lb world title from February 2003 until July 2004. He was born in Los Angeles from Salvadoran-born parents, and thus has dual U.S./El Salvador citizenship. He is the first Salvadoran to ever hold a major boxing world title.
