Undefeated Super-Middleweight contender Daniele Scardina successfully retained his IBF International Super-Middleweight championship with a hard-fought ten round unanimous decision over Ilias Archergui on Friday night at the Allianz Cloud in Milan, Italy. Scardina, a fighter with a career knockout percentage of over 80% going into the fight appeared as though he might have been able to make it a short evening in the ring as a flush right hand staggered Archergui in the second round. Moments later, a vicious left hook to the head sent Archergui down into his own corner. Although this seemed to have the appearance of a fight that it was only a matter of time before it would be over, Archergui immediately popped up from the knockdown and though he was on unsteady legs, was able to weather the storm and survive the round. By the middle rounds it was Archergui who was the aggressor, more active, and bringing the fight to Scardina. Despite appearing to be more effective than his unbe...

Jr. Welterweight contender Lewis Ritson scored a twelve round unanimous decision over rival Robbie Davies on Saturday night at the Newcastle Arena in Newcastle, England. In what was billed as a world title eliminator in the World Boxing Association (WBA) rankings, the fight began at a high pace with both fighters willing to exchange power punches. Ritson had particular success in landing his left hook to the head of Davies early in the fight, but Davies seemed to immediately attempt to return offense whenever Ritson would land flush.  The pace of the fight did not slow over the first half of the bout with both fighters being content to battle it out on the inside. Although it was difficult to determine who had an advantage during this stage of the fight, it appeared that it was Ritson landing first and Davies answering. While this is not always a determining factor, the fighter who lands first can get the benefit of doubt from the three official judges. It was nevertheless a ...
