Lane To Get 2nd Shot At Crown
Southpaw Kenny Lane will get a second shot at the light weight crown, possibly facing Carlos Ortiz at Madison Square Garden on October 20 or 27 after a lopsided decision over Carlos Hernandez. Lane, from Muskegon, beat Hernandez in a TV bout, boosting hopes for a title fight despite a third round knockdown in a Garden bout. Hernandez, at 134 pounds, was a heavy favorite but lost for the second time in 31 bouts. Meanwhile, Cards and Pirates play the ego series as Boyer and Skinner homer in a 7-7 ninth. Doctors planned to remove a cast from Joe Gibbon today, aiming for a return this week after a June finger fracture.
