Mauricio “El Maestro” Herrera (21-5, 7 KOs) finds himself in another Riverside vs. Philadelphia war when he faces “Hammerin’” Hank Lundy (25-4-1, 12 KOs) this Saturday, July 11, at the Los Angeles Memorial Sports Arena in Los Angeles, California.
The 10-round contest is scheduled for the vacant NABF Super Lightweight title and will headline a triple header on HBO Latino.
In a perfect world, Herrera would be making his third title defense against Lundy since losing a controversial unanimous decision against Danny Garcia in March of last year. Herrera has since won against Johan Perez and recently dropped another controversial unanimous decision against Jose Benavidez, losing the interim WBA World Super Lightweight title Herrera had won against Perez.
Lundy, a powerful and fast boxer who comfortably fights in both orthodox and southpaw stances, is as game of an opponent as the super lightweight division can offer.
He’s no stranger to controversial losses either and looks to rain on Herrera’s parade in front of his home crowd.
Read on for the three keys to victory for Mauricio Herrera.
