ICE DISPLAYS POWER IN 4 EXTREMELY ONE SIDED ROUNDS
"The Friday night card was highlighted by undefeated hopeful Joey Abell playing Jason Vorhees as he stalked, gashed, and damn near killed Louis Monaco over four extremely one sided rounds".
Keith McMenamin October16 All Ringside Boxing
"Joey Abell (9 – 0 9ko’s) took on journeyman Louis Monaco (15 – 33), a fighter who has one of the most impressive loss ledgers in pro boxing history. Monaco has been taken out by the likes of Lamon Brewster, Vitali Klitschko, Eddie Chambers, Monte Barrett and Buster Douglas just to name a few. He was supposed to provide a test for Joey Abell who has been knocking the opposition silly but in reality he turned out to be another victim of the lumberjack’s wrath. For four rounds, Abell used a right jab to set up powerful straight lefts while getting no resistance from Monaco. The third round was the worst as Abell beat his opponent all over the ring from bell to bell. The fight lasted :30 into the fourth before the referee mercifully called a halt to the contest. To Monaco’s credit, he was obviously felt the power but he has the distinction on being the first man to not be put to the canvas by the Minnesota powerhouse. Please Elbaum, please put him in against someone who can actually give him a test"!
