Boxing, Ivan Zucco is more and more serious: dominated by Brown on points

It wasn’t the turning point match, it was certainly the leap in quality. AND Ivan Zucco he didn’t get it wrong. At the Allianz Cloud, the boxer from Verbania dominated the British Germaine Brown keeping the WBC international super middleweight title. Verdict on points that leaves no room for any doubt: the three judges all saw 99-91 for Zucco, a wide but acceptable margin.

Zucco, entered the ring with a encouragement shirt for Daniele Scardina, therefore he begins to make his way, also from the point of view of notoriety, in Italian and above all international boxing. Brown is not a thunderbolt of war but he is still an element capable of emerging in an extremely competitive world like that of British boxing. He’s fast and has good technique. The Italian had the merit of not letting him express himself, pressing him and making him feel more than once the weight of his blows. Speaking of power, Zucco came to the match with a reputation as a hitter: 16 hits, 14 of which before the limit. Brown had a bad time at some points but held on. The Verbanese for his part treasured what had been his last outing, against Serbian Marko Nikolic: a victory by knockout but also a great thrill in the first round. The classic warning. Zucco undoubtedly showed greater attention in the defensive phase, a maturity index which in our opinion makes him ready to attempt the European title.

Spectacular tricolor between Mazzon and Russo

Zucco-Brown was the main event of the beautiful meeting organized by OPI Since 82 in co-organization with Fight Club Fragomeni. However, the best match was the one valid for the Italian super welterweight title between the champion due to detachment Francis Russo and the challenger Christian Mazzon. Four wild rounds in which Mazzon prevailed, more technical and above all capable of delivering the decisive blows. Russo, a very powerful fighter but with evident deficiencies in the defensive phase, was knocked down in the second round on a right hook from his challenger. Unsteady on his legs, the Roman reacted with ferocity by making Mazzon taste the carpet in the third round. A battle with no holds barred, even too openly, which could only know an anticipated epilogue. It was the prerogative of Mazzon, who closed the game in the fourth round with a left hook.
