Via Fightnews.com and La Repubblica: In an effort to breathe new life into the Italian boxing scene, an Italian company called Sports Promotion hosted an imperial-style event last night. A Euro title cruiserweight clash took on gladiatorial overtones as it was staged on Piazza del Colosseo where the fourth-century Arch of Constantine served as a backdrop. Local hero Vincenzo Cantatore (whose record is 32-4-1 and includes 27 knockouts) fought Ukranian Alexander Gurov (39–1, 33 knockouts) in a challenge for the crown. The fighters wowed the crowds by going 12 rounds before Italian fighter Cantatore managed to secure his victory.
