[EBU1/World13] Ivan Drago, Russia, 23-6-0 (22) vs [EBU3/World26] Franco Cavicchi, Italy, 14-2-0 (10)
Drago takes two out of the first three rounds convincingly, as the former EBU champion, Cavicchi is struggling to avoid his opponents power. Round 6 provides us with the best action of the fight, 21-13, Drago, but Cavicchi takes a wicked shot at the end of the round that causes a gash over his left eye. The worry of the cut seems to have jump-started Cavicchi as he takes the 7th and 8th rounds but Drago goes to work, peppering away with his right to Cavicchi's cut and the ref stops the fight due to the severe bleeding from Cavicchi's gash.
