Melson to Face Lugo

Boyd Melson (6-0, three KOs) is scheduled to face Daniel Lugo (1-2) in a six-round junior middleweight affair this Saturday in Atlantic City, New Jersey. This is will be Melson's sixth fight of 2011.

Melson defeated Russ Niggemyer by way of six-round unanimous decision on October 1, a fight that also took place in Atlantic City. Lugo earned his only career victory on the same night in the same building. He outpointed Kevin Rooney Jr., the son of the famed trainer, in an upset win. Lugo, a 33-year old from Pennsylvania, lost a four-round decision to Frank Galarza later that month.

As always, Melson will represent Team Fight to Walk.
