PHILADELPHIA- A very intriguing six round cruiserweight fight has been added to an already packed show that will take place at The Legendary Blue Horizon on Friday night, April 3rd.
The card is promoted by Vernoca L. Michael and Blue Horizon Boxing Promotions Inc.
Julio Cesar Matthews will risk his undefeated record when he takes on the streaking Kamrah Pasley in a bout scheduled for six rounds.
Matthews of Reading, PA has a record of 6-0 with five knockouts and has knocked out four straight opponents since returning from an eleven year hiatus from the ring.
The thirty-nine year old Matthews scored his most significant stoppages in his last two bouts when he first took out Chris Stallworth (9-1) in fifty-nine seconds on September 13th, 2009. In his last bout, Matthews scored a third round stoppage over William Bailey on December 5th in Reading.
Despite losing his first three bouts, Pasley was undeterred and it has paid off as he has won his last three bouts to get back to an even record of 3-3 with one knockout.
Those three losses came at The Legendary Blue Horizon so Pasley will be looking for redemption in The Blue Horizon ring.
Pasley has won all three of those bouts in 2009. The streak started with a third round stoppage of thirty-three fight veteran Cullen Rogers on January 16th. Then he scored a shocking unanimous decision over prospect Pedro Martinez (3-1) on January 31st. In his last bout, Pasley scored four round unanimous decision over debuting John Burgos on March 13th.
That fight was added to a much anticipated card that will feature one of the most talked about bouts in the city as undefeated Israeli sensation, Ran Nakash (17-0, 12 KO’s)takes on Philly-favorite Dave Brunelli (8-4, 3 KO’s) in a cruiserweight fight scheduled for eight rounds.
Last week, Team Brunelli guaranteed victory. Nakash will be arriving in Philadelphia this coming weekend and they will be sure to have a response to Brunelli’s proclamation.
In a much talked about co-feature, Tyric “Too Sweet” Robinson (9-3-1, 3 KO’s) battles Julias Edmonds (4-3) in a six round Jr. Welterweight “Philly Turf War” showdown.
Middleweight Gee Cullmer (15-1, 3 KO’s) takes on Anthony Little (7-11-1, 1 KO of Akron, Ohio in a bout scheduled for eight rounds.
Exciting super featherweight, Joselito Collado (6-0, 2 KO’s) returns to The Legendary Blue Horizon as he takes on Jason Rorie (2-2-2, 1 KO) of Winston-Salem, North Carolina in a bout scheduled for six rounds.
Taneal Goyco (1-0, 1 KO) tussles with Davit Davitshvili (0-1) in a battle of Philly based Cruiserweights scheduled for four rounds.

Philadelphia Fan Favorite Takes On Ronald Hearns In Battle of Unbeatens on ShoBox: The New Generation, Saturday, March 28, Live on SHOWTIME, 11 p.m. E
NEW YORK– “Lightning” Harry Joe Yorgey puts his undefeated record on the line March 28, when he faces fellow unbeaten junior middleweight Ronald Hearns in a 10-round bout on a special Saturday edition of ShoBox: The New Generation live on SHOWTIME (11 p.m. ET/PT, delayed on the west coast).
Yorgey is proud to have the opportunity to compete on national television.
“If I’m a boxing fan and I don’t have SHOWTIME then I’m going to run out and get it,” the outgoing, well-spoken Bridgeport, Pa., resident said. “You’ve got two guys that are undefeated trying to make it to the top. It’s going to be great.”
Detroit’s Hearns (21-0, 17 KOs), the son of legendary Thomas “Hit Man” Hearns, and Yorgey (21-0-1, 9 KOs) will open the ShoBox telecast from the Buffalo Run Casino in Miami, Okla.
World-class super middleweight Andre Dirrell (17-0, 12 KOs), of Flint, Mich., will meet Derrick Findley (13-2, 8 KO’s) of Gary, Ind., in the ShoBox main event. The event is promoted by Gary Shaw Productions, LLC, and DiBella Entertainment.
Yorgey was interviewed recently by SHOWTIME.
SHOWTIME: What are you thoughts about Ronald Hearns?
YORGEY: “Well, we’ve seen a lot of film on Ronald Hearns. He’s a tall fighter and he has a long reach and he knows how to use it. He uses it to his advantage. With a guy like this you have to box and move and stay inside with him. You have to respect his record of 21-0 and 17 knockouts. Of course, I’m aware of who his father is. So many people and reporters have asked me about that. I respect that a lot, but I’m not fighting his father. If he fights anything like his father then I’m in for a big, big fight.”
SHOWTIME: He has a distinct height advantage. How will you cope with that?
YORGEY: “I’m 5-10 and a half and that’s about right for my division. I’ve fought a lot of taller guys, especially in the amateurs, and believe it or not you’ve got to establish your jab. You can’t sit on the end of his jab at his distance. You’ve got to work the angles. I’m ready for whatever he brings to the table.”
SHOWTIME: You quit your full-time job to concentrate on boxing and training for your fights? How is your training going?
YORGEY: “Yeah, it’s going really well. I worked construction for about 10 years. It was tough, the 12-14 hours a day and then two more hours in the gym and then jogging. I had to do it to pay the bills and be a good father to my four kids. These guys I’m going to start facing are not doing that. They’re committed to boxing. So my wife and I got together and she agreed to go back to work and let me train a little in the morning with conditioning and I do my boxing training at night. It’s been tough. I went through a legal battle with my former team. They cancelled some fights on me and so that set me back a little bit but we’re getting through it. I am working with my trainer Henry Rachich and it is going great.”
SHOWTIME: Who was your major influence in boxing growing up?
YORGEY: “My father and I have been watching fights since I was two years old and running around punching the walls. Marvin Hagler was my favorite fighter. I remember watching his fights. My father finally put me in the gym when I was eight or nine years old.”
SHOWTIME: You have four kids. Do they watch your fights?
YORGEY: “Yeah, they do. My oldest son is 12 and he’s had two sparring matches so far. We’ll see if he sticks with it and likes it. He’s going to be in Oklahoma with me and will carry my (IBF North American) belt into the ring.”
SHOWTIME: You’re dedicating this fight to someone close to you. Can you tell us more about that?
YORGEY: “My buddy’s’ niece just turned 23 and the doctors have only given her a couple of months to live. She has a rare, aggressive form of cancer called Desmoplastic Small Round Cell Tumor. I know she’s battling right now and she’s hurting and fighting the cancer day-by-day. Her name is Shannon Yoder and we’re going to have a raffle at the fight to help her family with the medical costs. You can check out my web site at www.harryyorgey.net for more information on it.”

Fight Engine:Revolutionizing MMA scouting, promoting & matchmaking
Las Vegas, Nevada– FightEngine.com, featuring legendary superstar and MMA fighter Bob Sapp as one of its principal board of advisors, today announced the launching of its state-of-the-art website, www.fightengine.com, revolutionizing the way mixed-martial-arts fighters market themselves, promoters and managers scout fighters, and fans become legitimate matchmakers.
“I’ve fought around the world and FightEngine.com has been designed so fighters from any country can register, gain invaluable exposure and be scouted by top MMA promoters,” Sapp explained. “We are not a promotional company; fightengine.com is a fighter/promoter’s promoter, enabling MMA organizations to scout fighters from around the world without leaving their computer in order to discover the next great MMA fighter.”
FightEngine.com is apolitical without any preference to specific promoters. In fact, FightEngine.com works with promoters and fighters to gain international notoriety for them through www.fightengine.com. Any registered fighter, for a nominal fee, may challenge other registered fighters, allowing each participant to accept or deny challenges, as well as express their semi-uncensored opinions about any posted challenges.
FightEngine.com is non-discriminatory, providing male and female fighters, in addition to ring girls, opportunities to gain exposure on the website.
Fans can get in on the action, for free, simply by registering on the website to become quasi-matchmakers, picking fighters they’d like to watch in matches, as well as commenting about fights other spectators propose.
A thermometer can be found on the right-hand side of the website, which will illuminate on a rising basis, according to the amount of registered fighters, and subsequently fights will be arranged once the thermometer reaches the apex.
Once there are enough fighters and fans registered on the website, hopefully within 90 days, FightEngine.com will serve as a tool to arrange fights on a super card, guaranteeing purses of $10,000, $25,000, $50,000 and $100,000.
FREE OFFER: The first 100 applicants who register on www.fightengine.com are eligible to receive a complimentary posting of their 5 MB videos for the first three months.
Future plans include a “KO the Pro” section where a top level fighter will be posted while other fighters will vie to be selected for a “KO the Pro” match-up. “The initial KO The Pro is me, ‘The Beast,’ and anyone who wants an opportunity to fight me must submit your videos and let the web-voting audience decide if you are tough enough to take me on.”
See you at the Fights.
