==Comments==
* The referee, Bobby Brunette, didn't hear the bell signaling the end of the first round and instructed the fighters to come together after the round ended. Butler, who had not yet recovered from being knocked down at the end of the round, was hit flush on the head with a power shot from Abell, and folded. Butler's corner entered the ring and confronted Brunette and Abell, whereupon Abell's corner entered the ring to defend their man. A brawl ensued.

Glancey's Gym

Spottacus:

== St. Paul, MN, USA ==

Glancey’s cavernous 14,000-square-foot building opened its doors in 1992 at the corner of Beech and Forest Streets on St. Paul’s East Side by Jim Glancey, then 65-years-old. He was a former amateur boxer. He spent some time in the United States Navy during World War II, went to college, married, had two daughters, and became a pipe insulator. After addressing his drinking problem, he starting hanging around boxing gyms.

After he retired from his job as a pipe insulator at the University of Minnesota, he decided to open his own gymnasium. He purchased the former Anderson Meat Company building. (Only later did he learn that former 1993 Golden Gloves champion [[Clyde Mudgett]] had perished in the building's chimney during a burglary.) The gym soon acquired a reputation for training amateur fighters. Silver Gloves national champions [[Allen Litzau|Allen Lizau]] and [[Jason Litzau|Jason Lizau]] trained here, as did [[Antonio Johnson]].

Glancey’s Gym closed in May 2002.

<fight>1315646</fight>

In a heavyweight bout featured on a nine bout card in Sweden, former IBF Cruiserweight champion Alfred 'Ice' Cole, age 44, made a successful comeback after three years inactivity with a six round split decision win over Joey Abell. Cole, now 36-14-3, from New York, traded punches in center ring and landed just enough more blows to win over Minnesota's Abell, now 20-3. With a Cole headbutt in the second round Abell suffered a small cut that bled profusely, and the injury seemed to signal the turning point in the bout.
