It was a homecoming gone wrong this Saturday in Minnesota as Heavyweight wrecking ball Joey Abell gets KO'd by anonymous journeyman Andrew Greeley in the 4th round of their scheduled 8 rough fight. According to multiple reports, Abell was in control for most of the contest and when he made his move to seal the deal, got caught with two big overhand rights to the chin sending Abell to the canvas for the first time as a pro. He was knocked under the ropes but did manage to beat the 10 count. On unsteady legs, the referee decided to halt the bout at 2:58 of the round. While it is a disappointment to his hopes of reaching the big time, this could be good new for Philly fans as Abell will most likely be spending more time down at The Blue.
