[Rocco Del Sesto]

Here's another guy I posted early on and have more extensively play tested him and changed some ratings. His overall I lowered from 6 to 4, his HP went down quite a bit and his C B/S lowered some.

I play tested him against rounds with the guys in the data plus which amounted to 19 of his 46 career fights. The rest were stacked against 1 rated fighters which would look like the majority of the rest of his fights.

Italy 1961-1969

33 wins / 9 losses / 4 draws / 11 KO

Rating by: Rocco Del Sesto

Piero had compiled at 14-0-2 record, including wins over Mariano Echevarria and Alex Buxton, when he went up against Peiro Del Papa in December 1962 for the Italian Light Heavyweight Title. Del Papa won by a 12 round decision. Tomasoni's next fights included wins over Tommy Fields, Von Clay, Benito Penna(in an Eliminator Fight for the Italian HW Title), and Sixto Rodriguez. In May 1964 he went up against Sante Amonti for the Italian Heavyweight Title, loosing a 12 round decision to Amonti. That followed with a loss to Benito Penna, and wins over Jose Menno, Wilhelm Von Homburg and Buddy Turman.

In May 1965 he lost a 15 round decision to Karl Mildenberger for the European HW Title. Tomasoni followed that fight up with another shot at the Italian HW Title against Amonti again in NOvember 1965. This time Piero was victorious with a 9th round KO of Amonti. In 1966 Piero defeated Jack Bodell by a 3rd round TKO and then fought an 8 round draw with Billy Daniels.

In February 1967, Tomasoni fought Mildenberger again for the European HW Title. Again, Mildenberger won a 15 round decision over the Italian heavyweight. In Piero's next fight he defended his Italian HW Title with a 12 round decision over Dante Cane. He followed that up with wins over Hubert Hilton, Bob Stallings and a win over Jurgen Blin as Blin was DQ'd in the 2nd round of an Eliminator fight for the European Title. In March 1969, Piero fought for a 3rd time for the European HW Title, this time against Henry Cooper. Cooper KO'd Tomasoni in the 5th round. Tomasoni then lost his Italian HW Title to Dante Cane in June 1969 by a 12 round decision. Those two fought again in December for the Italian Title with Cane victorious again by an 8th round TKO. That was Tomasoni's last fight.


Next up, I've already started on Mariano Echevarria, then decided to back track and redo Tomasoni and I'm also going to do another Spanish HW Benito Canal from the 60's. He fought Echevarria several times so once I got him done I'll have a number of Echevarria's opponents in the game to play test him. That will give me Echevarria set up to fight Gerhard Zech late in Zech's career. After Mariano I'm going to work on Wilhelm von Homburg another late career Zech opponent. At that point I think I'll be ready to resume Zech's career replay.

Enjoy......
