Boxing on a Sunday isn't unusual but it's rare for us to get an interesting bout of note. That didn't quite change this past weekend though their was a national title fight amongst the day's Heavyweight action.
The aforementioned national title fight took place in Italy as unbeaten Italian champion Matteo Modugno (15-0, 8) successfully defended his title courtesy of a 6th round DQ victory over the limited Gianluca Mandras (9-3, 5). In our eyes Modugno, who has now all but run out of national rivals, needs to give up his title an go chase the European title as defending this belt any longer is a waste of time. He's the Heavyweight king of Italy and doesn't need to prove it any further.
The only other Heavyweight bout saw Tibor Balogh (15-6-2, 11) take out novice Peter Palovic (1-3, 1) in 2 rounds.

Upcoming bouts: Sunday July 20th-Italian title on the line!
The weekend comes to an end on Sunday with a national title bout in Italy as the massive and unbeaten Matteo Modugno (14-0, 8) attempts to defend his title for the 3rd time. Modugno will be taking on the limited Gianluca Mandras (9-2, 5) who has yet to fight an opponent of note and has, in fact, been stopped twice by very average journeymen.
With what we know about both men it's hard to see anything but an easy defence, via stoppage, for Modugno who is viewed by some as a "hidden gem".
