The card is promoted by Vernoca L. Michael and Blue Horizon Boxing Promotions Inc.

Brunelli, of Northeast Philadelphia has a record of 8-4 with three knockouts and is moving down to cruiserweight to take on one of the hottest fighters around.

Brunelli and his team are unfazed about the record and as a matter of fact they believe his record is extremely padded.

“I don’t understand why I am the underdog”, said Brunelli.

“He hasn’t fought anyone.”

Murphy went on to tell www.phillykeith.com, “We love being the opponent and Nakash will feel the power.”

“I’ll be damned if I let a guy from Israel take over the Blue Horizon and on April 3rd the “0” must go.”

On April 3rd the talking will stop and this bout has all the making of some of the great ethnic boxing matches of the past when fights between Jewish and Italian fighters were very common.

If that isn’t enough a packed has been put together and an old school Philly Turf war will take place as Tyric “Too Sweet” Robinson takes on Julius “Marvel” Edmonds in an eight round Jr. Welterweight bout.

Robinson, who is a corrections officer, has a record of 9-3-1 with three knockouts and is coming off an eight round unanimous decision loss to the undefeated Jason Cintron on October 17th at The Legendary Blue Horizon.

Edmonds has a deceiving record of 4-3 but his tough as nails style has endeared him to Philly fight fans early in his career.

Edmonds is always in his opponents face and has won two in a row which includes his last outing in which he scored a six round unanimous decision over then undefeated Linwood Hurd on February 6th at The Legendary Blue Horizon.

Also seiing action on April 3rd will be Legendary Blue Horizon favorite, middleweight Gee Cullmer.

Cullmer, 15-1 with three knockouts will fight in an eight round bout against an opponent to be named shortly.

In Cullmer’s last fight on September 12th, he engaged an in eight round war with Jameel Wilson for which Cullmer walked away with the split decision in what many are calling the “2008 Philly Fight of the Year.”

In a six round Super Featherweight bout, Joselito Collado of Queens, New York returns to The Legendary Blue Horizon when he takes on Jason Rorie in a bout scheduled for four rounds.

Collado, 6-0 with two knockouts has one Legendary Blue Horizon appearance that took place last October 3rd where he won a unanimous decision over David Orosco in a bout that was a toe to toe war over four rounds.

Rorie, 2-2-1 with one knockout was able to stop Cano two bouts ago. In his last bout, The Winston-Salem, North Carolina native fought to a six round draw with Juan Nazario (6-1) on February 27th.

Marcus Bioncani will be back at The Legendary Blue Horizon as he will risk undefeated (3-0, 3KO’s) record when he takes on debuting Archambo Tuba of Israel.

Bianconi of Houston, Texas surprised some when he made his Legendary Blue Horizon debut when he scored a second round stoppage over John Turner. Since then, Bianconi scored a first round destruction over Nelson Roldan on February 25th in Lyndhurst, NJ.

Hot welterweight prospect Ronald Cruz of Bethlehem, PA will look to stay undefeated in a four round welterweight bout when he takes on an opponent the be named.

In his most recent outing, Cruz (3-0, 2 KO’s) scored one of the most vicious one-punch knockouts when he nearly decapitated Russell Cloak in one round on March 13th.

In a four round bout, Taneal Goyco (1-0, 1 KO) will battle Davit Davitashvili in a battle of Philadelphia-based Cruiserweights.
