Genaro "chicanito" Hernandez Please read!

[the general]

I dont know what youve heard or if you guys even know genaro but he was the lightweight fighter of the decade in the 90's. Those of you who know the man know what kinda a person he is. If u dont know him id just like to share a brief story and then get to my point.

My name is robert and im now 27 years old from mission viejo, ca. Right when i graduated high school I wanted to get into boxing but didnt know where to start cuz we have nothing like that in the area. I knew chicanito was from mission viejo but never seen him or knew exactly where he lived until one day i saw him driving. I thought, what the hell....so i followed him home and when he stopped i got out and introduced myself and asked him if he was training anyone. He invited me in and we went from there. We trained in his garage or my garage on the weekdays and he took me to his brothers gym in LA on the weekends. Anyway, thats how i got to know him. Im now 8-2 w 6ko's as an amatuer.

In october chicanito was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer called rhabdomyosarcoma. He has been recieving chemo and radiation since december. I guess his insurance doesnt cover the cost of the treatment he has been recieving so they had a charity fundraiser dinner for him.

I heard all they raised was 30,000 dollers. As greatful as im sure he is......i gotta say im disappointed.

Thank you, I was also going to post something about this. I think there's also a website through which donations can be made. If no one can find it by the time I get back home this evening I'll see if I can.

Chicanito is one of the true genuine nice guys in the Sport, and has helped out more than his fair share of others less fortunate than he was. He deserves some support in this regard.

man....i remember hearing something about it on SOLO BOXEO. but didnt know how bad it was. i still remember back in jr. high when i started boxing and he came all the way down here(which is at least 4hrs) and hanged out at our gym at gave us some tips and stuff, had no clue who he was all i knew was that he was the guy DLH had broken his nose, but he was a great guy. signed my gloves and gave us pictures......great fuckin guy.

just like jose torres, genaro never was greedy he was content and lived a simple life.

Well that's what I get for not reading the entire opening post. Apologies to anyone offended by the rhetorical and inflammatory nonsense I just deleted out of here. The real issue is Chicanito, who is a guy worth helping.
