Another great Tournament which was oraganised in the Orpheum Thatre in Gzira last Friday, where 700 people attended the event to support the two Maltese fighters, Dione Galea and Billy’hitman’Corito. Both boxers successfully won by points against two English boxers.
Maltese Heavyweight Corito won his first fight by points, where in his previous six fights he won all by KO’s either in the first or second round. Without a doubt the fight between Corito and Scott’bambam’Welton was the highlight match of the night. Corito and his opponent Welton fought for six rounds of three minutes each, where in the first round both fighters came out swinging with hard and heavy punches, Welton suffered a cut above his eye. The fight continued and both fighters kept on attacking each other until finally Corito won by points.
The fight between Maltese boxer Dione Galea and English boxer Wayne Roberts was for four rounds of two minutes each. In those four rounds Wayne Roberts tried his best to give Galea a challenge, but it wasn’t enough to beat Galea. Dione Galea won the match by points and the Maltese supporters were very happy with his performance.
