that's his last fight where he won the ebu title, in silver trunks.
watch round 2. they both knock each other down, della rosa down twice i think in 2nd.
looking forward to his fight with culcay in 2 weeks.
he was spanish national amateur champ in 2010 and 2011
culcay will probably beat him, but for only 11 fights real is good euro level.
he's 32 though, so that's probably why he is stepping up competition fast

Did he box internationaly as a amateur? De he take boxing up late? He seems very raw

he made it to the finals and semifinals of an international tournament in spain
and lost in the 2nd round of the 2011 european championships, so was able to
beat some at the european amateur level but not the better guys. better style for pros.
culcay, of course was 2009 world amateur champ, has cleanly beaten better pros, will be
in his 8th wba intercontinental fight, and is ranked by the wba, ibf, and wbo. i have to think
if culcay takes the ebu title he would also crack the wbc ratings, also. i would pick culcay by UD
in that one but could be an interesting fight, especially since real is a puncher willing to mix it up.
i wouldn't have expected real to take a voluntary defense against a guy like culcay so soon, but
it looks like sauerland made it worth his while. it's on the hernandez-arslan undercard.

i could see culcay going after the molina-bundrage winner, next, and
then the IBF title would stay in germany a while defended against
fringe guys until maybe an andrade unification could be arranged.

Culcay's a skilled fighter but he too small at 154 to make the most of his tools and that eventually will cause problems at a higher level,Welterweight's obviously a much tougher division but i feel he'll to step down there to see the best of him

from 140-154 there are so many amazing matchups that could be made.
there is only so much room for superfights, though, so they would have to
be paced to fit them all in, but you could fill out a couple of years easily with
matchups every other month. not even counting if cotto went back down.
not sure where culcay would fit into it all. in the golden age, they would all
be fighting each other.
