Things just aren’t the same for Hank Lundy. His chin isn’t as durable as it once was, his defense isn’t nearly as sharp, and his offensive firepower is myopic.

On the back of five consecutive defeats, Lundy did his best to remove the water from his sinking ship. So, this past Thursday night at Sony Hall in New York City, the now 39-year-old saw himself up against another hungry up-and-comer, Kurt Scoby.

Lundy appeared dialed in from the beginning. He sported his normal pre-fight mean mug, sauntered his way to the ring confidently, and even stood toe to toe with his man, something that proved to be his unraveling.

One knockdown in the first few seconds of the second round saw Lundy crumble but he rose to his feet. The second knockdown just a few moments later not only ended their showdown but ultimately his career.

Lundy’s been down this road before. He’s openly claimed at various times that he was done with the sport of boxing, only to resurface just a few weeks later with a fight contract in hand. This time around, things were different. Lundy knows good and well that he can no longer compete with the super lightweight division's top dogs or their journeymen. So, with 46 fights under his belt, a handful coming against the best of the best, Lundy reveals that he’s content with how his career played out.

“No, I’m a be real man,” said Lundy to BoxingScene.com when asked if this was yet another temporary retirement. “17 years in the game, I ran and ducked from nobody. I fought the best. There’s no more to prove.”

Terence Crawford, Jose Zepeda, Viktor Postol, John Molina Jr., and David Diaz - just to name a few - have all shared the ring with Lundy. He won some and he lost some. But most importantly, he fought every and anyone.

Beaten, bruised but extremely satisfied, Lundy is removing his hand wraps for one final time as he gives the sport one final salute.

“It’s time to hang ‘em up, it’s time to hang ‘em up.”
