On a card promoted by De Carolis Promotions,
headed by former WBA world champion Giovanni De
Carolis, broadcast live by RaiSportSat1,
Barilotti beat the very capable Zdenko Bule from
Croatia by unanimous decision.
It was a competitive fight, with close rounds
and both men looking determined. Barilotti often
applied the pressure, while Bule tried to
control him with his jab and counters, but at
times it was also the other way around.
In the end the judges had it wide for Barilotti
(79-73, 79-73 and 80-72), but, while the scores
suggest otherwise, it was always interesting
with several rounds hard to decide.

After a rough period where things have often not
gone his way in the ring, 36-year-old Barilotti
finally achieved his dream of becoming a champion,
as he improves his record to 9-3-2 (5).
Bule, still only twenty-two years old, drops to a
very misleading 10-14 (2). He had won his last
three coming into the fight, and six of his last
seven, and is sure to do well in the future.
