Francesco Patera wins eight rounder against Nicola Henchiri

EBU European Lightweight Champion Francesco Patera won a routine 8 round points decision over Nicola Henchiri from Pisa but was made to work hard for what should have been an easy nights work, on paper at least.

The judge's scorecards didn't reflect the nature of Henchiri's effort and he is a far better performer than his record suggests.

Scores: Gian Antonio Canzian 79-74 | Giovanni Fiorentino 78-74 | Ferruccio Robello 78-74.
