February 6th
January 30, 2009
PHILADELPHIA (JANUARY 30, 2009)—One of
the most popular fighters in the region, undefeated Light heavyweight,
Chuck “The Professor” Mussachio makes his long awaited debut at the
Legendary Blue Horizon as he takes on Gary Lavender on a six round
cruiserweight bout as the co-feature on a big night of boxing at The
Legendary Blue Horizon. The card is promoted by Vernoca L. Michael and
Blue Horizon Boxing Promotions Inc.
Mussachio of Wildwood, New Jersey brings a loud cheering section as he
amassed a record of 12-0-2 with five knockouts and is taking the bout on
eight days notice so this bout will be contested in the Cruiserweight
division.
“I have been looking forward to this since I first put on my gloves”
said Mussachio. “It is just an honor to fight at The Legendary Blue
Horizon and to work with Vernoca Michael & (matchmaker) Don Elbaum.”
In Mussachio’s last bout he fought to an eight round majority draw with
Willis Lockett last September 19th in Delaware. Ironically it is
Lavender, a native of Pine Level, North Carolina who has the experience
inside the Legendary Blue Horizon ring.
Lavender has a record of 7-12 with six knockouts and is on a two bout
winning streak. His most recent effort is a disqualification win over
Leroy Hollis last December 12th in Jacksonville, Florida.
Lavender went the distance with main event participant, Ran Nakash on
October 13th, 2006 at The Legendary Blue Horizon.
Mussachio better be on top of his game as Lavender has shocked an
undefeated fighter before. On June 8th, 2007, Lavender took out heralded
Chris Mclnerney (8-0-1) in two rounds.
The main event on February 6th will feature an eight round cruiserweight
tilt between Ran Nakash (16-0, 12 KO’s) of Haifa, Israel and Ryan
Carroll (7-1, 4 KO’s) of Delaware, Ohio.
In a six round Jr. Welterweight bout, Elad Shmouel (18-2, 9 KO’s) of Tel
Aviv, Israel makes his return to the ring after a thirteen month layoff
when he takes on Khristian Garaci (4-5-1, 3 KO’s) of Pittsburgh.
Julius Edmonds (3-3) of Philadelphia battles Linwood Hurd (2-0-3) of
