Abell Annihilates Warner At The Legendary Blue Horizon
Philadelphia (September 7th, 2007)—Joey Abell scored two knockdowns and stopped Levon Warner in vicious fashion at 2:52 of round one of a scheduled eight round main event that highlighted an eight-bout card at The Legendary Blue Horizon..
After a first minute that was nothing more then a feeling out process, Abell landed a hard combination in the corner that crumpled Warner to the canvas. Warner courageously got to his feet but an excited Abell was on top of Warner and finished things up with another four punch combination for which the force of the thudding punches could be heard throughout the arena.
“I knew I was going to catch him with the combinations” said Abell after his sixteenth win. “I knew after the first knockdown that if I was hit him it was going to be over.”
With chants of “Joey, Joey, Joey” from the enthusiastic crowd, Abell has become an adopted Philadelphian with this being his eighth appearance at The Legendary Blue Horizon. “It’s better then being at home. It feels like when you come home from collage and your family and friends greet you.”

Abell takes out Warner at the Blue
On paper, it was Minnesota Ice against the West Philly bad boy, southpaw against southpaw, the youngbuck against the veteran. In the ring it was completely one sided ironing as Abell smoked Warner out of there at 2:53 in the 1st round. Warner stormed out of the gate and tried to bring the fight right to the Minnesota lumberjack. This won him, oh, the first 20 seconds of the fight. After the inital rush, Abell settled in and used a jab for once which set up a traumatizing left hook that knocked Warner down very hard. To Warner's credit he got back to his feet but was visibly dazed. Abell finished it off with a sizzling 3 punch combo seconds later. Miraculously, Warner was able to walk out on his own after the fight ended.
It was an exciting win no doubt, but is he ever going to avenge that loss to Arron Lyons?
