Irma Testa and Sirine Chaarabi in the final: great Italy at the women’s boxing world championships

Irma Testa and Sirine Chaarabi in the world final. However the last act goes, Italian boxing takes home a sensational result from the world championship underway in New Delhi. Irma, who has long been the spearhead of the Italian national team, did not betray expectations in the semifinal against the French Amina Zidani, beaten with a verdict that leaves no reply: 5-0. It wasn’t a great match, often cumbersome, but always held in hand by the boxer from Campania.

Irma Testa in the final against the Kazakh Ibragimova

A proof of class: great mobility in the ring and blocking jab, the key to success against which the Frenchwoman has never found a serious antidote. Reigning European champion, first woman in Italian history first to go and then to conquer an Olympic bronze, Irma Testa will try again after a year to conquer that world title that eluded her last year against the Taiwanese representative Yu Ting Lin after a controversial match . However, it won’t be a replay, because in the other semifinal the Taiwanese lost to the very strong Kazakh Ibragimova.

Sirine Chaarabi enchants

If Testa is certainly not a surprise, the other splendid blue reality is. Sirine Chaarabi confirmed her boxing beauty after what she showed in the preliminary rounds. The Tunisian-born Casertana unleashed a match of the highest technical level against the Japanese Rinka Kinoshita. Taller than her opponent, in a match between two left-handed players, Chaarabi has almost always taken away Kinoshita’s time with very rapid series (approach with the right and left in closing) which unequivocally directed the first round. The second was more balanced, with the Japanese forcing the pace. The need to shorten her distance didn’t affect Sirine’s coldness, who, albeit with a few more worries than her, brought home the round going two points higher for three judges. An ideal situation to face the third, in which you managed bringing home a not unanimous but clear verdict: 4-1. Now in the final she will face the Chinese Wu Yu.
