Ken Buchanan Defends Lightweight Title in Gripping MSG Fight
In a humid Madison Square Garden bout Ken Buchanan retained the lightweight crown by a unanimous 15 round decision against Ismael Laguna. Blood from a 11th round eye cut stained trunks, towel, and even the referee’s blouse as Buchanan’s father Tom and wife Carol watched a Celtic display of grit. The elder Buchanan noted clan heritage dating back to the 14th century while Ken fought through widespread punishment with band music from bagpipes and marimba accompanying the bout.
