Posted on | February 9, 2009 | No Comments

PHILADELPHIA (February 8, 2009)-In front of a near capacity crowd, Ran Nakash emphatically blew out Ryan Carrol by scoring a second round stoppage in a scheduled eight round main event of a six bout card at The Legendary Blue Horizon.

Nakash of Haifa, Israel scored the first of three knockdowns late in round one with a big left hook to the body just before the bell rang to end the round. Carrol, of Delaware, Ohio never really recovered as Nakash was all over him and deposited Carrol on the ground two more times in round time with a left to the head and the Israeli soldier ended things with a hard uppercut that forced referee Steve Smoger to mercifully end the bout at 2:06 of round two.

Nakash is now 17-0 with thirteen knockouts.

Nakash will now go back to Israel and re-take his place in the Israeli Army

Looking just as spectacular was Nakash’s stablemate, Elad Shmouel in the co-feature.

Shmouel of Tel Aviv, Israel showed no signs of ring rust as he was coming off a fourteen month break to dispose of Khristian Garaci of Pittsburgh at 1:32 of the second round in a four round Jr. Welterweight bout.

Shmouel was his usual swarming self as he landed some vicious body attacks that Garaci had a very difficult time dealing with until a barrage of punches forced Smoger to stop the fight.

In the other six round bout, Julius Edmonds out worked Linwood Hurd to score s ix round unanimous decision in a Jr. Welterweight bout.
