Di Luisa vs. Norbert Szekeres (Hungary) [yt]fXlUkOQzFtg[/yt] (scope the straight right at 1:38...:scaredas: As perfect as it gets...prime Kessler-like...) Ndiaye vs. Cocco [yt]ShEM4XVtb-k[/yt] :dead Slap/grab, slap/grab...complete waste of athleticism...
BTW, **** anyone who styles their self "The Black Power" :roll: (which is Ndiaye's actual nickname, not the watered-down version they list on Boxrec) War Andrea!!! :bbb Biggest bad ass with a girl's name since Marion "John Wayne" Morrison? :think
Devis Boschiero is Italian. He just lost a SD to Takahiro Ao, most of the people I've read said Boschiero deserved it. I've yet to watch it myself, really can't say.
I did some more digging and (with some help from Babelfish) found that Di Luisa and Ndiaye were actually amateur rivals. Ndiaye won. :think Of course, the amateurs are the amateurs and the pros are the pros. Besides - who has the more AM-suited style, and who the more professional-suited style?
Probably Fragomoni and Branco... Italian Americans? Definitely Paulie Malinaggi then Petre Manfredo... Zapagavina is Australina-Italian. Kelly Pavlik is half Italian.
Well... Mouhamed Ali Ndiaye shut my mouth, scoring a TKO in the 12th round to hand Andrea Di Luisa his first pro defeat (and second at Ndiaye's hands, counting their encounter as amateurs) and acquire the European 168lb title. I was unable to view the bout, but am hoping it appears on Youtube to find out how it all went down. (ie, who was up on the cards...was it back and forth or one-sided...had Ndiaye himself been hurt, etc.)
