Gamal Yafai too much for Luca Rigoldi in Italy, writes Andy Whittle
THE old adage was that you had to knock the other guy out to get a draw when travelling to Italy to box for a title but Birmingham’s
Gamal Yafai made nonsense of the statement at the Allianz Cloud in Milan. He relieved Caldogno southpaw
Luca Rigoldi of his European super-bantamweight title by securing an emphatic unanimous points victory, judges Guido Cavalleri of Bergamo, Italy and Bury’s John Latham having him ahead 116-112 at the finish whilst a second Italian Giovanni Poggi saw it somewhat more clear cut and turned in a card reading 119-109 in favour of the Brit.
