    Francesco Patera vs. Devis Boschiero was supposed to headline a Matchroom show on March 27 in Verona for the vacant interim WBA lightweight title. Luca Rigoldi vs. Gamal Yafai (European super bantamweight title, Rigoldi's 3rd defense) was the scheduled co-feature. No word yet on a new date. :nusenuse:

    There's my last Friday afternoon of the month, shot. :ohno

    Patera vs. Boschiero and Rigoldi vs. Yafai had the looks of a really nice doubleheader. Hopefully they get the boot cleaned out soon.

    Alright, if you guys wanna just shoot the breeze about everybody's new favorite disease, you can go panic in the Lounge. :sisi1

    This was just a heads-up about this card being scrapped (along with any other Italian ones that may have been officially set to go already).

    Patera has kept pretty active since he derailed the Ritson hype train. He would presumably have been favourite to beat the veteran Boschiero?

    Probably, although not prohibitively. BoomBoom always comes to fight and has consistently been a tough out even deep into his thirties.

    Impressive given that fighters seem to age quicker at the lighter weights?

    No, not all the Italian boxing! At least we still have India.

    Canceling Boxing in Italy? Fa Napoli! They are canceling CALCIO matches! That's "soccer" to Americans, football to Euros and futbol to others.
