Boxing, Esposito retains the Welterweight Tricolor, De Carolis wins by abandonment

An evening with strong colors that organized by Opi82 of the Cherchi family at the Palasport Salvador Allende in Cinisello Balsamo (MI). The supermediate Giovanni De Carolis (30-10-1) would have had six rounds (of three minutes each) to test his physical form before facing Daniele Scardina (20), holder of the WBO intercontinental title, on 13 May. And, on the other hand, it was enough for the Roman boxer to let the Georgian Giorgi Abramishvili (14-20-1) savor some combination of blows to make him abandon the second round.

“For me this was a test match – comments Giovanni De Carolis, former Wba world champion – I am always in training ready to face any type of opponent, even a busy man. These opponents are also useful because every time it is a test to be overcome. it’s my debut match with Opi 82, my new manager – concludes De Carolis – so I couldn’t hurt ”.

Victory also for the 27 year old Lombard Nicholas Esposito (16), aka “The good boy”, who also wins the second defense of the Italian welterweight title by beating 97-93; 99-91; 98-92 the 45-year-old Calabrian Tobia Giuseppe Loriga (33-10-3) thus remaining undefeated. Rematch between the two, because on February 26, 2021 they faced each other and also on that occasion Esposito won on points but with a unanimous verdict.

THE CHRONICLE

–

Intense match with high boxing rhythm that characterized all ten shots of the match. Loriga, alias “Lo Squalo Rossoblu”, always in the center of the ring, Esposito master of the rounds thanks to the continuous series of strokes. Both on normal guard, they began to face each other in the middle distance exchanging blow for blow. Pride, desire to box and never a step back have characterized Loriga’s boxing, who exposed himself to a few too many blows. Esposito, from his, also unleashed precise left jabs that opened the way for as many precise right-handers.

Short distance in the third round: Esposito’s effective direct right and left uppercuts with Loriga reacting continuously. In the fifth round Loriga is more precise: he continues his work in attack finding Esposito in a recovery phase. The direction of the match does not change: the two boxers have never been a fixed target, they both box blow for blow up to the tenth and final round.
