“Joey
Abell is proving, he is more than able”
By Mike Cassell “The Philadelphia
Boxing Report”
(NOV 16) As the Heavyweight division is currently taking a standing 8
count, a fighter is emerging that could change the face of Heavyweight
boxing. His name is Joey “Minnesota Ice” Abell. The 6’ 5” 247lb.,
ex-football player is making a big noise in the fighting city of
Philadelphia, and that noise is usually his opponent slamming into the
canvas.
He has a perfect record of 9 – 0, with 9 KO’s, fighting only 16 rounds,
and is beginning to turn heads on a national level. The Minnesota native
has been adopted by Philly boxing fans, and has earned the respect of
local fighters, especially the ones he has left laying on their backs.
He has earned his nickname, utilizing his big punch ability, with a very
calm and cool demeanor.
An inside source told The Philadelphia Boxing Report, that while
sparring with ex-champion John Ruiz, Abell closed Ruiz’s eye on the
first day, and was rolling around on the ring floor the next, wrestling
with Ruiz. Our spy said he totally frustrated Ruiz, and Joey’s cool
demeanor seemed to push Ruiz over the top. He is still very raw, and
unseasoned, but he seems to be a very fast learner. In his last fight,
he faced a seasoned veteran in Louis Monaco, a 52 fight veteran. Abell
found Monaco, slippery and hard to catch, but once Abell did, it was the
end of the night. Monaco was quoted after the fight saying “I have never
been hit like that before”. That is an impressive statement, considering
Monaco’s resume.
Is Joey Abell the real deal? Maybe, but we can be absolutely positive
about one thing. This kid is the hardest hitting puncher we have seen
fight in Philly, in a very long time. He has the Punch, the attitude,
and the “boy next door” looks, to really take the Heavyweight division
by storm. His next fight is December 1st, at the Legendary Blue Horizon.
Ticket Prices for this great night of boxing are $125 for Presidential
seats, $60 for VIP, $47 for Ringside, and $40 for General Admission and
can be purchased by calling The Legendary Blue Horizon at
1-215-763-0500. Doors open at 6:30 PM / 1st bout begins at 7:30 PM |
