WBC flyweight champion Hernandez lost his belt on the scale as he failed to make the weight. He weighed in at 113 at the first trip to the scale, scaled at 112.5 after forty minutes, and then gave up reducing his weight any more Should Higa be victorius, he will be newly crowned. Otherwise, the WBC 112-pound title will become vacant.
