********* is sad to report that super bantamweight prospect Jonas Hernandez (9-1, 2 KOs) passed away on June 15th. Co-manager Ricardo Figueroa provided the details on what led to the death of the 25-year-old Hernandez: "Jonas was taking a break away from his training camp as he was preparing for a fight in August. He went to his hometown of Agua Dilla, Puerto Rico to be with his wife and young daughter for Father's Day. He received a phone call from a friend a little after midnight early Sunday morning requesting he act as a mediator for a dispute. Jonas obliged but when he and his friend pulled up in their vehicle, the car was ambushed with ******* killing Hernandez instantly and leaving his friend who was driving in critical condition where he remains currently. The shooter was fortunately caught. Jonas was a great family man and person. He will be missed," stated Figueroa.

Hernandez had solid amateur career highlighted by a victory over recently crowned WBO super bantamweight champion Juan Manuel Lopez. As a pro his biggest victory was against then unbeaten Golden Boy Promotions prospect Nester Rocha nearly a year ago. ********* sends its condolences to the Hernandez family.
Damn, that's ****ed up when the peace maker gets killed.
