Coletti controlled the first four rounds, as he outworked Giosa and had him bleeding heavily on his right brow. Giosa fought better in the 2nd half of the bout, before Coletti rallied furiously in the last round. The Philadelphia Inquirer, who scored the bout 4-3-1 in rounds, called the bout a "highly controversial decision", which was booed. Coletti had substituted at the last minute for Aldo Minelli.
