Whether or not Holly Holm stepped into the ring on Friday night with Victoria Cisneros, given the circumstances, Holly would've been awarded the vacant, NABF SL TItle. She is a world recognized P4P champion, our former WBC Champion, and we are glad to have her represent the NABF. An hour before the main event, Melissa Hernandez (her opponent), left the arena, abandoning Holly, the Webcast, and the 3000 fans who came to see the battle. Given the horrendous possiblities, we applaud the excellent supervision by Lee Peters and the way Lenny Fresquez handled the evening. Neither the NABF or WBC took any santioning fees for the ensuing fight; and we are waiting for an official explanation from the Hernanadez team and an investigation into her actions.
Holly's response: "Thank you for the e-mail. I was blown away by the whole situation. I am very thankful to Victoria Cisneros to step up to the plate. I have no idea what we would have done without her. If you need anything, or have any questions, please let me know. It's a pleasure to be a part of this orginization and a pleasure to be a part of this sport." - Holly Holm
