Hammer time!
Lundy highlights “Braggin’ Rights” with another KO

BY: MICHAEL PARENTE

LINCOLN, R.I. -- As Hank Lundy promised, “Bam Bam” went “bye bye” Friday night at the Twin River Event Center, and the self-proclaimed “smokin’” prospect from Philadelphia continued his impressive climb to the top of the welterweight division.

Headlining Classic Entertainment & Sports’ pro-am “Braggin’ Rights” show, Lundy improved to 13-0-1 with a fifth-round knockout over Josh Beeman, capping a tense week in which the two welterweights exchanged harsh words at the pre-fight weigh-in 24 hours earlier.

“When he was talking trash at the press conference, I knew he was scared and I already had him beat,” Lundy said. “All I had to do was finish it in the ring.”

The pro portion of “Braggin’ Rights” ended the same way it began –- with a vicious knockout. Providence cruiserweight
Jay Holland (3-0, 2 KOs) kicked off the show by silencing Youngstown, Ohio, native Billy Greenawalt in 53 seconds for his third consecutive victory and Lundy wrapped up the night with his second knockout in as many fights in front of a predominantly pro-Beeman crowd.
