MN middleweight champ Andy "Kaos" Kolle (19-2, 14 KO's) will headline against veteran Pat “The Cat” Coleman (29-15 20 ko’s) on the earlier mentioned fight card being held at First Avenue in Mnpls on February 5th. Rumors are circulating that it will be a tune-up for a rematch bout with Matt Vanda in the months to come. Kolle spoke briefly to Minnesotaboxing.com about his next fight, stating that he is excited to fight in the twin cities and continue to build on a career best explosive win over Anthony Bonsante last March.
" I don't really know much about my opponent but I know that he is a vet with over 40 fights so he knows what he's doing in the ring" said Kolle. " As with all my fights, I don't really worry to much about what they are going to do. As long as I do me then I shouldn't have any problem with him. Just like always, I have been in the gym 5 days a week since my last fight, doing a lot of sparring and working on some different things so I know I won't have to worry about any ring rust. I am as hungry as I have ever been so I just can't wait to get back in the ring and hit somebody!

Referee Bobby Brunette found himself in an unfortunate situation last Friday night as has now been widely reported. The bell to end round one Following a knockdown in the State title fight between Raphael Butler and Joey Abell went unheard by Brunette and many ringsiders, including myself. Confusion was the result and Butler ended up getting knocked out by punches he never saw coming from Abell. Brunette says that he did not hear the 10 second warning or a bell to end the round.
"I was just in there doing my job" said Brunette. " Raphael had been knocked down. I sent Joey to a neutral corner and began to count and look closely to see if he could continue. He told me he could fight and I waived the fighters in to fight. I never heard a bell."
Brunette stated that he noticed Butler's hands were low at the time Abell started landing the punches but that he told both Abell and Butler in the dressing room to protect themselves at all times. To his knowledge, the bell hadn't rung, which in reality it did. It was obvious that Butler did hear the bell as video which is soon to be posted here will show. Butler stops and Abell seems to put a glove up to touch gloves before Brunette instructs the fighters to keep fighting.
" Abell landed two or three big shots and I could see Raphael was hurt. I started jumping in to separate the fighters after Abell landed the first punch. I wasn't sure at the time if I was going to stop the fight or issue a standing eight count but the only thought on my mind at that second was to protect Butler, who seemed hurt" said Brunette. "At that point I still didn't know the bell had rung. I jumped between the fighters not because I knew the bell had rung, but to make a decision on what to do with a hurt fighter. I was doing my duties as a referee as if the fight was still taking place." December 8th, 2009

After years of anticipation, the state title fight between local rivals Raphael Butler (35-8, 28 KO's) and Joey Abell (25-4, 24 KO's) ended in a no contest Friday night at the Target Center in Minneapolis.

Abell landed the knockout blows after the bell but was told to fight on as the bell was not heard by the ref or Abell. Butler had dropped his hands, thinking the round was over. The fight was originally ruled a Butler DQ win, but was later changed to a no contest.

In the main event, which led off the Fox Sports North broadcast, Matt Vanda (now 42-9 with 22 knockouts) not only survived, but thrived against the mildly favored Phil Williams (now 11-2 with 10 knockouts). Vanda took advantage of Williams' willingness to concede the initiative, walking down his larger opponent and frequently shooting out double or triple jabs that set up effective power shots. In the end two of the three judges scored the bout close in favor of Vanda, while one surprised the crowd by scoring it to Williams' advantage. Scores read 96-95, 97-94 for Vanda and 97-93 for Williams.
Super featherweight Wilton "Pretty Warrior" Hilario won an eight round unanimous decision over Leon Bobo Jr. in the co-featured bout.

Raphael "The Silencer" Butler (34-8) will headline Saturday's pro-am boxing card in Rochester, MN. For Butler, it will be the fifth time he has been featured in his hometown as a pro. The bout, which pits Butler against Detroit Lakes born Marcus Rhode (34-38-2) will be a way for Butler to step in the ring for the first time in 2009 as he prepares for his showdown with Joey Abell, which is rumored for November.
Butler had high hopes to break onto the national scene in 2008 but losses to Eddie Chambers (35-1) and Malik Scott (32-0) coupled with two shocking decision defeats to Homero Fonseca (7-2-2) derailed those plans as he went 5 and 4 for the year.

In his biggest leap in competition to date the now 13-0 Caleb Truax went to hell and back, emerging bruised and battered, but not without his "Golden" finish.
Truax's cautious approach through the early rounds was quickly foiled by a fifth round spurt from Atlantic City native and super middleweight veteran Patrick Perez. Perez ended up bringing not only experience but a granite chin to St. Paul Saturday night, weathering numerous Truax power shots and firing back barrages of his own, wobbling the once Boxing Digest Prospect of the Month. Caleb Truax, however, showed wit beyond his years by masterfully tying Perez up to finish round five and begin the recovery process...
