ESCAPING DEATH, UNBEATEN LIGHTWEIGHT DANNY “EL TRAVIESO” HERNANDEZ LIVES AND RETURNS TO THE RING
Nearly two years has passed since unbeaten lightweight Danny “El Travieso” Hernandez (10-0, 6 KOs) cheated death by surviving a stray bullet wound to his head. The incident occurred at a party when bullets fired were intended for someone else but instead hit him. Hernandez was left for dead at an inoperative medical clinic.
After a seven hour brain surgery the prognosis was grim. Doctors informed his parents that Daniel would suffer partial paralysis and the inability to hear or speak.
Fast forward three weeks and miraculously the fighter walked out of the hospital on his own two feet. His determination and desire set the pace for his fast recovery as well as the pace for quick return to the ring.
In what will be his first fight since January of 2010, Hernandez will be put to the test as he faces off against Mexico’s Jorge Resendiz (5-2, 4 KOs) in a 6-round lightweight bout at Foro Polanco in Mexico City.
Below, watch heartfelt messages of support from his Thompson Boxing stablemates Darley Perez, Jonathan Arellano and Jose Reynoso.
