Promoted
by Accademia SSD in association with Boxing
Duran Italia, this
was a rematch, after Vanni had won their first
meeting on points in March of last Year, and he
showed that it was not a fluke.
The
32-year-old from Empoli,
now 9-0
(2),
boxed excellently, moving well and making Nasri
miss before countering with
quick and
precise
punches.
Nasri was
determined to even the score in front of his
home-town crowd,
and tried
to press the action,
but Vanni
was just
too sharp and made him pay both from the outside
and at close range.

In round
three, as Nasri was trying to
launch an
attack, Vanni caught him with a perfectly timed
right hand, scoring a knock-down just before the
end of the round.
Vanni
floored Nasri again with another right hand in
round six, but was not able to finish his man, and
while Vanni
was largely in control,
Nasri
showed
heart and will-power to remain competitive until
the final bell.
Judges
Diego Guida, Mario Acri and Antonio Nardelli
scored the contest 77-73, 76-74 and 79-71
respectively, all for Simone Vanni.
