Having
won the title last May, Lezzi fended off the
game challenge of compatriot Mirko Marchetti at
the Pala Melfi in Brindisi, Italy.
After ten
round of entertaining action, where both men had
their moments but Lezzi got the better of most
exchanges, the 33-year-old from Bari won by
unanimous decision: 96-94, 97-93 and 97-93.
Lezzi,
who has completely turned his career around
after a long period fighting as a journeyman, is
now 17-21-3 (3) and undefeated in his last five
outings.
