October 2, 2009 in Philly – The Phillies were hours away from clinching their third consecutive NL East title, the politicos in Harrisburg passed the budget and gave the city the funding it needs so Mayor Nutter didn’t have to axe most of his work force. Even “Sticky” the duct taped North Philly cat found a new home this week after being bound and dumped in a dirty yard a few days earlier. Across the board, things were looking much better than they were a week ago. On top of that, boxing was back at the Legendary Blue Horizon on North Broad Street to the tune of 7 bouts brought to you courtesy of the Vernoca Michael and Don Elbaum. The event not only kicked off what is looking to be a very active fall in Philly boxing, it also reminded everyone that it is now Breast Cancer Awareness month. Feel ‘em up and Save the Boobies ladies, we need them!

Ok back to business. As mentioned, 7 fights involving boxers of all shapes, sizes, styles, skills and significance. Here is the skinny on how it went down on North Broad Street.

In a bout that was billed at ringside as “Jones versus The Volcano” MJ wasn’t faced with a bubbly fire of molten lava, instead he was the one who ruptured as he exploded on Lenin “The Volcano” Arroyo with rights and lefts over the 10 round distance en route to a unanimous decision win at Bally’s Casino in Atlantic City. It wasn’t Jones (18-0, 15ko’s) best performance, there were times where he looked bored and others times where he played to the crowd. On the plus side, he displayed patience, when he jabbed it was sharp and put his combinations together very well. Make no mistake, he dominated this fight from start to finish. Jones energy level was still high even at the end of the fight so the gas tank definitely was fueled with diesel. He also used the opportunity to shake off some rust as he has only fought 5 complete rounds in the past year coming into this match-up.
