While turning in a very credible debut performance,Garing's 60+ lb weight advantage may well have worked to his disadvantage by preventing his attempt to overcome Ludwinski's boxing ability. Though steadily progressing forward,Lane failed to possess the fluidness needed to disrupt Peter's rythym,therefore falling short to overrun the "Preacher's" skill. Appearing accidental,Lane's first round headbutt ripped his opponents eyelid,thus hampering Ludwinski's vision for the duration of the match. In the end there were no knockdowns,just a bloody,somewhat sloppy points victory for the rugged,very determined Pugilistic Preacher and,an outmaneuvered Freight Train,who, fought a tough,always competitive battle in registering a respectable loss in his initial pro outing.
