10 lightweight
Manuel Lancia 11(3)-0-1
vs
Massimiliano Ballisai 17(10)-2(2)-0
Italy lightweight title
Ballisai won by 8th round TKO
Lancia caught early in round 8 by a left hook
Lancia gets up but gets grinded down once again
Lancia got up again and tried to hold and recuperate
But Lancia was all over the place, still hurt... the ref stepped in and stopped it
Lancia was starting to get on top of things late in round 3 and 4... Lancia was more efficient, wasting less and looking less fatigued. But things got very exciting and more even with Ballisai ending the 5th round well, kind of tagging Lancia late and gaining more respect.
Nice typical Italian Title fight with both fighters trading the best they got. Usually it's fought real close on the inside, this one is fought more on the boundary of the pocket.
Spectacular fight with both fighters giving their all. Lancia ended up getting hurt early in roun d8 and could never recuperate going down twice and holding on for his life till the ref stepped in to end it.
