Attenzione! Live boxing card to be streamed live from Italy on February 2nd

You probably have never heard of the principals but so what? Friday afternoon midlevel fisticuffs! The famine season is coming to an end!

Unbeaten southpaw KO artist Fabio "Stone Crusher" Turchi, a hard-hitting cruiser, defends his WBC International Silver title against Argentine glass cannon Dario German Balmaceda.

Here is Turchi in his last battle with a visitor from Argentina, last July versus Cesar David Crenz:

..not for nothing, he took Crenz out exactly ten seconds faster than Usyk.

 

The ams is the ams.


...to paraphrase what 20th century wiseman Popeye the Sailor man said, I yam what I yam but that ain't what pros yam.

 

True but some fighters have styles better suited for one rather than both. Also, that loss was a) now eight years ago, b) vs. a very good amateur in Pero, who came just shy of bronze at the Olympics (losing to Hrgović in the quarterfinals) and c) was due to getting his nose busted in the opening minute. Now, he probably would have lost to Pero anyway but a broken nose in a fight is no joke. Even warriors like Izzy Vazquez have been known to bow out when blood gets in their air passageways.

 

Weak week until the WSBB semifinal (yet again), this is the next fix us fisticuffs junkies have to look forward to.

 

In the co-main event Nicola Pietro Ciriani, now 15-1-1 (9), will defend his Italian light heavyweight title against Kosovan-Florentine challenger and former IBF Mediterranean 175lb champion Vigan Mustafa, who is 18-3 (8).
