Galvan Takes Out Woods in Fourth

11.05 - LAKE STATION, IN-- A standing room only crowd watched Hammond lightweight prospect Ruben Galvan looked sharp Saturday night scoring a sixth round TKO over game, but out-boxed, Clifford Woods of Columbia, Missouri.

Woods awkward style was a problem early for Galvan, but by the fourth round he was in total control of the fight. To his credit, Woods never stopped trying and slammed home some nice body shots during the bout.

Light-heavyweight Guy Solis scored a six round decision over Donnie Pendleton of Milwaukee. Pendleton stayed in a survivors role throughout the bout and never really tried to mount a serious offensive. Solis tried to make a fight of it but Pendleton's experience and negative style made for a dull encounter.

Hernandez Posts Fourth Straight Victory

Gary, Indiana prospect Angel Hernandez kept his unblemished record intact with a third round stoppage of veteran Nelson Hernandez of Milwaukee. Hernandez showed improved defense and a wicked left hook to the body in dismantling his Wisconsin namesake. Trained by long time Gary PAL coaches John Taylor and Mike Soria, and managed by former lightweight contender Marty Jakubowski, Hernandez, now 4-0, 4 KOs, looks like a star in the making.

Chicago veteran Rodney Wilson scored a routine five round decision victory over useful James Rice of Indianapolis. Rice gave us standard gutty effort, but Wilson's vast experience was too much for him.

Chandler, Oklahoma super middleweight Tracy Sneed scored a second round TKO over Milwaukee veteran Marris Virgil. Sneed has returned to the game after a six year absence and looked like he still had something to offer. The southpaw has been training in Las Vegas with former world champion Cornelius Boza Edwards.

Good looking Chicago prospect Shay Mobley easily stopped overmatched Donald Tucker in the second round of a scheduled four round opening bout.

Promoter Ron Kern was pleased with the great fan support in Northern Indiana and plans a July return to the area. Kern's nest offering is June 3 at the 8 Second Saloon in Indianapolis with local fireman Chris Lytle in the main event.
