Quarter-Finals:
Nino Benvenuti vs Fabio Bettini - Benvenuti put on a boxing clinic using amazing hand speed and an impressive jab to score 2 knockdowns, the final one in the 8th round for the KO win!
Sumbu Kalambay vs Leone Jacovacci - Kalambay danced his way to victory, scoring a knockdown along the way to a 10-4, 9-5, 10-4 decision.
Tiberio Mitri vs Oddone Piazza - Mitri lands more than 52% of his punches as he uses lightining fast combinations and a stiff jab to keep Piazza on his heels throughout. The judges scored the fight 9-4, 11-3, 10-4 for Mitri despite Mitri losing a point for backhanding.
Hugo Kelly vs Bruno Santini - Santini scored 3 knockdowns, none more important than the one in the 15th. Kelly needed to win the 15th in order to make the fight a draw, and was well on his way to doing just that when he walked into a Santini combination that floored him to give the round and the win to Santini 8-6, 8-6, 8-6.
