"Lightweight Ray Lunny III of Redwood City, Calif., preserved a perfect 10 fight win streak Tuesday night by knocking out Frankie Crawford of Los Angeles with a sensational pair of lefts in the 2nd round. At the start of the 2nd round of the scheduled 10 rounder, Lunny, 135, marched out and shoved Crawford, 131, to the canvas. Crawford got up and started mixing it with Lunny, who caught him with a smashing left to the eye, drawing a gush of blood. A left hook dropped Crawford flat on his face to take the count at 2:09." -Associated Press
