All you need to know about former boxing champion Genaro Hernandez occurred the night of March 22, 1997.

He was fighting Azumah Nelson in Corpus Christi, Texas, for the WBC super featherweight title. He was ahead on all three cards when the bell for the seventh round sounded. Nelson threw a punch clearly after the bell and knocked out Hernandez.

When he regained consciousness, Hernandez was told by officials that the fight would be stopped and he would be declared the winner. Instead, Hernandez told the referee, in a conversation heard clearly on the telecast, that Nelson was a worthy champion and should not go out this way. Henandez said he was OK, and would fight on.
