Israeli soldier Ran Nakash (18-0, 14 KOs) was able to get inside the long reach of local favorite Dave Brunelli (8-5, 3 KOs) and open up a cut along Brunelli’s right eye that was deep enough for the ringside physician to call a halt to the fight. The scheduled eight round cruiserweight main event was stopped at 1:18 of round seven on Friday night at the jam-packed Blue Horizon in Philadelphia , PA. Nakash took the early rounds, but Brunelli was in the midst of a comeback when the bout was stopped. In the co-feature, Julius “Marvel” Edmonds upset Tyric “Too Sweet” Robinson by unanimous decision in a six round junior welterweight bout. The show was promoted by Vernoca Michael and Blue Horizon Boxing Promotions. Click here for the entire ringside report and photo gallery.
