Review: 2011-11-11, pleasant fight with one knockdown in the third round but it is not enough for our three stars. Mercito Gesta dictates the pace of the fight defeating Dominguez by unanimous decision. The undefeated Gesta (23-0-1) entered as the No.24 lightweight in the world while Ricardo Dominguez (34-7-2) entered as the No.33. Watch the video!

2011 BOXING fight – Takahiro Ao vs Devis Boschiero – full fight Video WBC title
Review: 2011-11-06, balanced fight but not good for eight rounds but from the ninth Devis Boschiero surprisingly has more energy than the defending champion Takahiro Ao, the Italian wins the latest four rounds but inexplicably two judges give the win to the Japanese. Takahiro Ao (21-2-1) entered as the No.3 super featherweight in the world while Devis Boschiero (29-0-1) entered as the No.59 (but after this fight, even if the Italian lost it, he is ranked No.19, probably someone noticed the error of the judges).
