Mazzinghi is proving to be a good champion especially with his victory over Benvenuti. He announces his decision to fight in Seoul and defend his title against veteran Stan Harrington.

His style of power punching and ability to box when he has to is making him the first star of the division. I also liked Joey Giambra too and felt he was robbed against Dupas!!!......may do a re-match non-title fight with both boxers at the end of their careers as the final match in the rubber.

Baltimore: Joey Giambra vs Ralph Dupas, October 1966

With their series split 1-1, the two ex-champions have decided on a re-match. Though it has no bearing on a future championship tilt at Sandro Mazzinghi it's a fight the public want to see.

Cagey first three rounds, with Giambra as expected spoiling. Then the action hots up with both boxers trading leather and not giving an inch. In the 7th Giambra is docked a point for holding and hitting in a round where he looked dominant for the first time.
Giambra comes out fired up for the 8th and midway through the round takes advantage of a wild Dupas punch to connect with a sweet hook to KO Dupas. The 36 year old Giambra holds his arms aloft. Revenge is sweet.

I feel better now, I always felt Giambra was a decent champ robbed of his shot at immortality by never facing Sandro Mazzinghi, maybe I will match them up in another sim.......
