Genaro hernandez: “cancer is spreading”

Viva "El Chicanito", one of my favorite fighters to watch back in the days. He was very technical in the ring!!

Very sad and depressing news. Cancer is one of the very worst things that can ever happen to a person, the uncertainty, the lingering dread, the gradual erosion of everything that once made you you, not to mention the horrifically crude treatments that still exist for it in this day and age. I can only offer Genaro my most heartfelt sympathy and hope he has the strength to continue to hold his head high, no matter what.

Wow. Wishing him the best. It's sad and unfortunate that the chemo and drugs will make him worse.

Get well soon Genaro, you're in my prayers.

Sad news. Genaro has always been one of the good people in boxing.

Makes me sad this and even sadder that it looks like no one in the forum could give a **** :(. I avoided this thread at work earlier as I lost my dad (age 49) in March of last year to lung cancer. Easily the hardest thing I've ever had to deal with. Watching your dad slowly get weaker and weaker and become more helpless as each day passes. The sight of watching your dad, your hero, trying to pull himself up a set of stairs and still trying to smile because he was thinking of you will remain with me forever. Anyway, as I sit here with a tear.... I'll be truthful and tell you I have no knowledge of GH's career but I can assure you I have nothing but sympathy for his friends and family, its a tragic, horrible thing to experience.

I saw him at the Maywood fights a couple of weeks back and he looked to be in good health and spirits so to hear he is not doing well really makes me sad. Great person to know

God bless you Genaro Hernandez. A great champion in the ring and a great person outside of it.

Wow...just sad. Seeing my Grandfather succumb to Cancer, it's just a horrific thing to deal with. All the best to him and his family.

It is sad to see such a great champion and quality person slowly wilt away to cancer. My thoughts are with him and his family.

That's very said indeed. He was great fighter. ATG super-featherweight.

****, not good, used to like Hernandez hope he has many years in front of him and wish him the best.
