Hernandez-Kelley collide tonight!
"Famoso," "Flushing Flash" meet in must-win fight for both
Carlos 'Famoso' Hernandez and Kevin 'Flushing Flash' Kelley are in a 'must win' fight on Top Rank's 'Return to Alamo City' fight card at the Municipal Auditorium tonight. "At this point of my career, I must win a fight like this," said Hernandez after the weigh-in today. "The same goes for Kevin Kelley. It's a honor to fight a champion like him and the winner of this fight will be the one with the most fire in his heart....It's going to be a classic fight - the boxer against the slugger. Kelley could always punch and I expect to see a lot of that on Thursday night." Kelley stated, "Carlos Hernandez is talented, a former world champion and has a lot of ability. I am expecting a tremendous fight, a real barnburner."
