On Friday, October 13, Knockout sensation Joey Abell will take on tough veteran Louis Monaco in Heavyweight bout scheduled for six rounds that will take place at the Legendary Blue Horizon.
The next night FingerSpoon productions will make their promotional debut at the National Guard Armory in Northeast Philadelphia with undefeated Heavyweight sensation Chazz Witherspoon taking on Earl Ladson. Fingerspoon, the new kid in town is headed up my Mike Fingerman and Tim Witherspoon with promotional help from Bob Rossi. Fingerman works out in the gym under the watchful eyes of Witherspoon as Tim has been active as a trainer. Their thoughts of doing their own shows have formed Fingerspoon and a decent card for Saturday.
The fighters scheduled to go over the two events this weekend in Philadelphia feature some solid boxers and some fellows who can bomb:
Joey Abell (8-0, 8 KO’s) -- Heavyweight-- Minneapolis , Minnesota
