Mancini unloads on Lenzi and improves to 8-0...
Ray Mancini, Italy, 7-0-0 (7) vs Mario Lenzi, Italy, 6-1-0 (3)
La Favorita, Palermo, Italy. Lenzi get off first with a nice combination as Mancini responds and flurries at the end of round one. Boom Boom applies some nice pressure in round 2 as he has Lenzi backing up. The 3rd is even. Mancini puts Lenzi on his back in the fourth round. Lenzi is down for the second time but manages to make it to the stool. Both fighters rest in the 5th and I am a bit surprised because I would have thought that Mancini would have tried to follow up on his last round. Lenzi comes back and scores well in the 6th. The 7th, 16-9, is another good round for Lenzi. Mancini is starting to find the rhythm again as he dominates the 8th and 9th rounds. Lenzi looks completely exhausted, 19-10, Mancini in the 10th. 20-8, Mancini in the 11th. A straight right puts Lenzi down for the 3rd time in the 12th. Mancini puts Lenzi down three more times in the 13h and the referee mercifully puts a stop to the fight even though Lenzi keeps getting back up on his feet.
