On Saturday night at the Liacouras Center in Philadelphia, Teflon Promotions will present a card filled with Philly favorites airing on BLK Prime.
The main event is heavyweight Andrew “Beast” Tabiti (20-2, 16 KOs) against Junior “Hurricane” Wright (20-5, 17 KOs) in a ten rounder. In the co-feature, light heavyweight Jesse “Hard Work” Hart (30-3, 24 KOs) meets Daniel Aduku (15-4, 11 KOs) over eight. Other notables include unbeaten middleweight Nikita “White Chocolate” Ababiy, unbeaten cruiserweight Muhsin Cason (Hasim Rahman’s brother), unbeaten bantamweight Dylan Priice, heavyweight Joey “Tank” Dawejko, and super lightweight “Hank” Lundy.
– Hank Lundy should not be fighting anymore…….
Agreed. Why on earth is Hank Lundy still fighting? Who is this promoter?
From another site:
“Hank” Lundy (31-14, 14 KOs), born and raised in Philadelphia will fight Juan De La Cruz (11-22-1, 7 KOs) from Front Royal, Virginia in a six-round super lightweight bout.”
“Hank” Lundy (31-14, 14 KOs) was born and raised in Philadelphia and wears that Philly tough guy brashness on his sleeve. He is a former Universal Boxing Federation World Lightweight Champion and a two-time WBO NABO Lightweight Champion. He is also a former NABF Lightweight and NABF Super Lightweight Champion, WBC Continental Americas Lightweight Champion. He also fought pound-for-pound great Terence Crawford for his WBO World welterweight title. Hank will fight Juan De La Cruz (11-22-1, 7 KOs) from Front Royal, Virginia
“I’m coming for the knockout. There is no other way to win,” said Lundy. “All my life all I did was fight. Fight through everything. And when I get in there on April 27, I’m going to show everyone that those recent losses, it wasn’t me. I’m ready to put on a big show to say that even though I’m 40, I ain’t moving like I’m 40. I’m back and I mean business!”
“This card right here is a great card for the Philadelphia boxing fans and also the beginning for a new boxing promoter,” said Hank Lundy. “He’s going to take over Philly boxing. I’ve known Dominick for years and he’s here to stay. He’s putting Philly fighters back on the map!”
If Hank wants to continue to fight, that’s his deal. After all, Leon Spinks continued to fight long after he was blasted out in one round by Gerrie Coetzee. Hank was stopped in less than a round by Tito Mercado last year.
….and he got stopped in the second round not too long after the Mercado fight by Kurt Scoby. I don’t have a problem with Lundy fighting so long as it’s against guys like Rodriguez. The risk is that after this fight, he’ll want something more and whoever “more” turns out to be, I probably will have a problem with that; but he’s a grown man and, like you said, he can do what he wants.
Give hank some easy fights, build his record up little bit, then let him ride off to the sunset, he had a good career, but if he loses to a journeyman, kick it in hammer!!
