Hunter shines at the Blue Horizon!
Philadelphia's Eric Hunter 9-1(4) a late sub for the main event looked brilliant beating Jules Blackwell 7 2(2) with a third round stoppage. Hunter 124 1/2 was in control from the very beginning rocking Blackwell 124 1/2 in the first before dropping him in the
second near the end of the round which likely saved Blackwell the end
came mid way through the third of a scheduled eight from a right hook
which dumped the Pheonixville native on the canvas despite him beating
the count he was countered out by the referee. Hunter looked very
impressive through out the fight and certainly looked like he could
make waves in the talented Super Bantamweight division with his
mixture of speed boxing skills and decent power.
In one of the chief support bouts at Welterweight Steve Upsher
Chambers stopped Jaime Morales at 1.37 of the first. Chambers improves

backed up Chambers who was able to cover up let Morales blow himself
out while picking his own shots before launching his assault of 30
plus unanswered shots that forced Morales to take refuge of a knee
where he was then countered out.
Isreali Heavyweight Ran Nakash impressively moved to 13-0(9) with an
impressive second round KO over out gunned James Porter 5-13-1(1).
Though Nakash is small for a heavyweight at 211 he does possess a good
shot selection.
