The 14-year-old son of rock singer John Mellencamp has won his first bout in the Indiana Golden Gloves boxing tournament. Hud Mellencamp earned a 4-1 decision over Tate Sturgeon of Lafayette, Indiana, on Thursday night (March 20th) in a 132-pound bout at the Tyndall Armory in Downtown Indianapolis. Mellencamp boxes for the Indy PAL / Christamore House Boxing Club. This painting of Hud Mellencamp “In His Victory” was donated by Linda and Karen to help raise funds for The Indy/Pal Organization’s annual dinner, which was held April 14th.
They were very happy to participate in this project.
I attended this PAL dinner, the painting was a highlight of the auction items. I was informed this week that the Mellencamp Family has inquired about purchasing the painting. Unfortunately it was sold and now rest in the Chambers of an Indiana Judge. Very impressive work by the two of you.
