By Lyle Fitzsimmons - Hank Lundy knows a little something about career reconstruction.
The rugged South Philadelphian was unbeaten (18-0-1) through his first three years as a pro including a defeat of current WBA lightweight champion Richard Abril before having to recover from an 11th-round TKO loss to John Molina that came while he led comfortably on all scorecards.
Then, after four more wins put him back on the 135-pound map including a sixth-round stoppage that prompted the retirement of former WBC title-holder David Diaz it was back to the drawing board when consecutive narrow judging verdicts went to foes Ray Beltran (MD 10) and Viktor Postol (UD 12).
So when Adrien Broner inquired about sparring work as the former three-division champ began his own post-Marcos Maidana crawl back to the spotlight, Lundy knew precisely what was needed.
You think a loss is going to do this or that to your career, but I have a couple losses and Im still top 10 in the world at lightweight, he said. It all depends on how you digest that loss. [Click Here To Read More]
