The New Daisy Theater

Memphis, Tennessee

 

 

NABO Lightweight Title Bout (10 Rds)

Hank Lundy (17-0-1, 10 KOs) wins a unanimous decision over Tyrese Hendrix (18-0-1, 7 KOs) - Judges

scored the bout 98-90, 100-88, 99-88 for Lundy - Lundy wins title. At the start of the first round, Lundy landed

a stiff right jab that sent Hendrix back onto the ropes. As Lundy came in, he just missed with a left - and as

Lundy followed up with another left, Hendrix countered with his own left and both connected at the same

time. Both fighters went down face first but Lundy quickly got back up as he landed on the bottom rope. And

instead of a double knockdown, the ref gave Hendrix the count (he got up at the count of four). The fight

resumed and after a brief exchange, Hendrix went down again - this time from a right (up at the count of

three). In the sixth round, Hendrix was hurt by a right hook and went down from a flurry of punches (up at the

count of four).

 

Heavyweight Bout (10 Rds)

Tony Thompson (34-2, 22 KOs) wins by TKO (towel) at 2:50 of the 4th rd over Owen Beck (29-5, 20 KOs)

In the first round, Beck downed with a right on top of the head - just behind the left ear (up right away). In the

fourth round, Thompson had Beck against the ropes and was just hammering him with punches - Beck's

corner had seen their fighter take enough punishment and threw in the towel.

 

Jr. Welterweight Bout (10 Rds)

Lanard Lane (12-0, 7 KOs) wins a unanimous decision over John Brown (24-18-2, 11 KOs) - Judges

scored the bout  60-54, 60-54, 60-54 for Lane.
