PHILADELPHIA (SEPTEMBER 25TH, 2009)—One guy had a record of 14-1. His opponent was 13-14. Did those records matter on the night when Gee Cullmer and Jameel Wilson waged war on September 12th, 2008 in The Legendary Blue Horizon?

No. These were two Philly fighters who put on yet another classic inside the hallowed halls of The Legendary Blue Horizon and on October 12th the two will be acknowledged for that great fight as they will be honored by accepting the award for the 2008 Philadelphia Fight of The year at 2nd annual Briscoe Awards Ceremony at the Veteran Boxing Association located at 2733 East Clearfield Street in Philadelphia.
