Fast eddie Chambers KO's Livan Castillo at The Blue Horizon

"Fast" Eddie Chambers returned to Philly and scored 5th round knockout over veteran Livan Castillo in his tune up fight at The Legendary Blue Horizon this past Friday night. Chambers, ranked #7 in the IBF, started a bit slow but by round 3 was in complete control using the ring and landing at will showing off his unmatched hand speed. Castillo was game early and tried to bring the fight to Chambers but before long this turned out to be a glorified sparring session. At the end of the 5th, Chambers began to unload with rights and lefts to the point where Castillo could not fire back leaving the referee no choice but to wave it off at the 2:59 mark. With the win, Fast Eddie stays in position to land a significant national bout in an open heavyweight division.

In the co-feature, Philly's Darren Fallen won a close split decision over Carlos Pena of Florida in a 6 rounder where the action was sparce. The styles just seemed to clash as both were southpaws and both were only able to create opportunities when the other took the initiative to start the action. It was close through 4 but Fallen switched it up a bit late in the fight, moving and jabbing which was enough to secure the last two rounds and the W.

Patterson NJ Feathwerweight Carlos Zambrano was impressive in his win over a very technically sound Rasool Shakur in a 4 rounder. Speed was the difference maker here and Zambrano was firing off some beauties to the body which created openings upstairs.

Queens, NY super featherweight Joselito Collado went to war with Atlanta's David Orosco in a very entertaining 4 rounder where both men went toe to toe throughout. Orosco showed he has tons of heart but also got hit with some bombs while fighting in the trenches. Collado also took quite a few shots but responded well and continued to be the aggressor until the final bell sounded.
