Grande Giorgioooo!!! Agper jan!!
This was the perfect come-back match up from Giorgio after his long absence due to injury. Perfect execution, calm, controlled, one sudden burst of speed and scored the KD in the second. Next, Kehl.
Petrosyan played with Varol, he could finish him. The fight against Kehl will be a tough battle!!!
Giorgio is back in business. He looks in pretty good shape and very calm. He used his legs and kicking capabilities most of the time during this fight, perhaps to take care for his hand and prevent a new injury at this early stage of his come back.
