...how's that for a clarion roll-call?

 

In progress:

Vincenzo La Femina vs. Pablo Antonio Narváez Membreño, 6 rounds @ featherweight

 

Yeah for this level he is, but fairly dependent on a cooperative opponent to make him look good.

 

Shutout UD for La Femina. Nothing really to either be overly critical of, nor heap lavish praise. He came forward hucking combos at a pretty steady clip. Narváez Membreño, a Spaniard by way of Nicaragua, is a career survivor, with just six of his 22 losses by stoppage.

 

All three title fights on the top of the card could be competitive. At least Loriga vs. Esposito and Prodan vs. Cristofori could; I don't see Núñez having much chance unless Scardina has an off night and is caught sleeping at the wheel and hit with something huge.

 

Mirko Natalizi vs. Islam Teffahi, 8 rounds @ super welterweight

 

Natalizi wearing the black with gold trim (red gloves) and Teffahi white frill trimmed in black (with blue gloves).

Both spending much of the first in the southpaw stance, which is Teffahi's native mode (while Natalizi, listed as ostensibly orthodox, is a switch-hitter).

 

10-9 Natalizi, hurt Teffahi late

 

He does throw everything with conviction, though, and I think had a 100% stoppage rate in WSB. Kayo artists will always generate buzz. You're right, though, true to his nickname (The Terminator) he doesn't seem to have too many other wrinkles, just single-minded offense with an eye towards ending the contest rather than worrying about points possibly mattering.

 

20-18 Natalizi, looked for a moment like a KD just as the bell sounded, but was in fact a shove-down by Natalizi.

Teffahi does seem ripe to be dropped or stopped, though, buzzed several times and wearing a perpetual look of nervous fright. Natalizi being a bit wasteful, though, many of his shots missing or getting deflected with parrying motions by Teffahi on the backfoot, and just sticking with Plan A regardless firing all the same punches from all the same angles. Wonder how Natalizi's stamina holds up in the deeper waters of rounds 6, 7, and 8 if we get that far.
