Culmer and Jameel “Black Gold” Wilson
get it on in a Super Middleweight fight.

be seen live all over the globe on www.gofightlive.tv
Chambers, 17-1-1 with five
knockouts is starting to step out of the shadow
of his brother, world-ranked Heavyweight “Fast”
Eddie Chambers, as he continues to improve on
all facets of his game.
Some of that was shown on
June 6th when Chambers survived a early assault
from Jaime Morales to come back and destroy
Morales by unleashing thirty unanswered punches
to stop Morales ninety-seven seconds into their
bout.
Chambers has fought all but
one of his fights at The Legendary Blue Horizon
(17-1).
Carmody, 10-10-1 with one
knockout is a typical Philadelphia fighter and
he will fight anyone at anytime.
Carmody will be looking to
play spoiler on September 12. That seems to
be a game that Carmody likes to play as evidenced
by his upset wins over Dave Evans (7-0-1), Cristian
Lopez (16-0), Carlos Vinan (5-1), Frank O’Neal
(8-0-2) in O’Neal’s hometown of
Detroit.
Carmody, who will be making
his first appearance at The Legendary Blue Horizon,
will be itching to get back into the win column
as he has dropped three straight, including
a loss to sixty-six fight veteran Ricardo Medina,
Vernon Paris (16-0) and most recently Orland
Gonzalez (11-1-1) on June 20th.
Nakash, of Haifa, Israel
has become a Blue Horizon favorite as he has
scored explosive knockouts in his last two appearances
at The Legendary Blue Horizon
He will be bringing in a
record of 14-0 with ten knockouts, which includes
five straight early wins.
In Nakash’s last outing
he dusted off Martin Haag in four rounds in
Germany on July 20th. On June 6th, Nakash drilled
James Porter in two rounds at The Legendary
Blue Horizon. On February 8th, Nakash viciously
knocked out Ray Ruiz in two at The Blue Horizon.
Nakash is 5-0 with two knockouts
at The Legendary Blue Horizon
Robinson, 10-3 with seven
knockouts has become one of the most feared
and talked about cruiserweights in the area.
The Philadelphia native is
4-0 against undefeated fighters. In his last
fight, Robinson won a majority decision over
the well regarded Simon “One Punch”
Carr is a much anticipated South Philadelphia
turf war on July 18th.
This will be Robinson’s
second appearance in The Blue Horizon ring a
he scored a unanimous decision over previously
undefeated Jamaal “Da Gooch” Reed
(3-0) on June 10th, 2005.
Culmer has a record of 14-1
with three knockouts & is unbeaten in his
last ten fights (9-0, 1 NC) that spreads out
over five years.
Culmer has been a mainstay
at The Legendary Blue Horizon as his last nine
fights have been at The Legendary Blue Horizon
(8-0, 1 NC)
He is coming off a six round
unanimous decision over Mustapha Johnson on
April 11th at The Legendary Blue Horizon.
Wilson is desperate to get
a win as he is winless in his last eleven fights
(0-10-1) against grade “A” competition.
Wilson has been in the ring
with the likes of James Lubwama (11-0), Tarvis
Simms (17-0), former multiple time world title
challenger Antwun Echols (30-5-1), Elvir Muriqi
(34-4) & Rasheem Brown (18-3) to name a
few.

at The Blue Horizon was a great one as he defeated
Patrick Perez (25-3) on January 16, 2004.
Wilson is 4-1 at The Legendary
Blue Horizon.

from his first pro loss when he will take on
