Looks like someone needs to hang em up for good. I’m surprised California licensed him to fight. They are usually very strict about approving fighters such as Lundy to get in the ring
Hank got hammered
The same commissions that will allow a shopworn Lundy to fight, are the sames that banned “opponent” Reggie Strickland from fighting simply for the fact he had so many losses (and so many fights). Reggie Strickland never once took a beating in the ring!
Everyone, Nordic is right. It should also be noted that Reggie was a defense specialist who knew his role, did not care about his record, and used the money to build a business, and own real estate free and clear. SMART MAN !!
Reggie would also pull off the upset every now and then.
Hank, for God’s sake, HANG THEM UP !!!
End of the road for Lundy, did enjoy watching him fight and talk. Met him once and was a very cool dude as well.
Hammerin Hank Lundy needs his family to step up to the plate, but instead they crack jokes about his aSs whippings when he not around. Example: Hank fought last night, really! what round he get knocked clean the (F) out in! I’m just saying Hank.
Lundy wasn’t expected to win but to push the up-and-coming fighter a few good rounds. Mercado is some more heat coming up in the already hot lightweight division.
Lundy should start a Boxing podcast. I bet it would do well and he’ll have greater access to well-known guest.
This article reminded me of a young prospect named Mercado that trained with Freddie Roach. He was beaten twice by an older journeyman and I haven’t heard much from him since.
Always wanted to see Lundy Vs Broner and almost got it! I think he would have done better had that fight come off then he did in this one! That said… I think it is getting to the the point where he cannot test these young guys anymore. Perhaps now the money offers will be so low that he will retire which I think most will agree would be best for his health. It is just not worth it anymore.
U were good back in the day, u at least going into the pa hall of fame, get to enjoy that at least!!!
