ABELL HOOKS TUNA IN ROUND ONE
ADDS ANOTHER TO STRINGER
February 13, 2009
The 'Big Tuna' spent most of round one flopping on the canvas as ICE dropped the big fish 3 times ending the fight at 1:09 in round one. Joey clipped Rhode early with stinging left jab followed by a combination that left Marcus groggy and stumbling throughout the short fight. This was the 21st knockout in 22 wins for Joey. Joey demonstrated speed and extremely effective combinations in overwhelming the experienced heavyweight.
