Philly’s “Hammerin” Hank Lundy,
22-1 (11) is possibly ESPN2’s busiest boxer. On this Friday he
will once again headline at Resorts Hotel & Casino, in Atlantic
City, NJ. Lundy will be defending his NABF lightweight title against
Mexican Raymundo “Sugar” Beltran, 25-6 (17), now of Phoenix, AZ,

Lundy is the WBC’s No. 1 contender,
No. 3 IBO, No. 7 IBF and No. 9 WBO contender. He has won his last 4
fights since suffering his only defeat. The combined record of these
4 opponents was 91-8-1.

FECARBOX featherweight in 2002, WBC Continental Americas in 2008 and
the USBA lightweight in 2011. He also stopped then 21-1 David Torres
in 2011.
Philly’s Farah Ennis, 19-1 (12), won
the vacant NABF super middleweight title in 2010 prior to his only
loss by majority decision. He is the No. 5 NABF contender at present
since title became vacant January of 2012. His opponent Richard
Pierson, 11-2 (8), of Paterson, NJ, has stopped 2 Philly boxers in
Jamaal Davis and in his last fight Charles Hayward. This is a
