Lafemina at the “8 test” with Salvini – Sport

After seven matches, all won, the pagan supergallo Vincenzo Lafemina is facing the most demanding match of the beginning of his career. In the Cinisello Balsamo ring, on 22 May, he will face Emiliano Salvini, a 40-year-old who held the Italian bantamweight and supergallo titles and who also fought for the European crown. An element of value, therefore, who has not yet spent all his reserves and who, despite the latest defeats collected, will not be inclined to be outwitted by a boxer younger than 15 years and, therefore, in search of victories that justify his race to the top of the international rankings.
The 26-year-old pagan boxer returns to fight for Alessandro’s Opi Cherchi and, by now, it can be considered in the “great tour” of Milanese boxing increasingly in search of stars on which to focus to revive, at least in part, a great past that was marked by champions capable of attracting, with their deeds, thousands spectators in boxing arenas.
Lafemina will support the match-highlight of a billboard built with the most promising young professionals of Opi and this time will have to be physically and tactically prepared to play eight rounds, which represent a challenging distance if fought against a rival who has fought battles against the strongest equalizers. of Europe.
The battant of Pagani’s Thunder will need breath and an intelligent dosage of forces as well as the ability to read the intentions of the rival, much more experienced and able to put him to the whip. Salvini, although he carries on his shoulders the weight of 411 rounds played in eleven years of ups and downs with 19 wins and two draws, he should not be considered a renouncing boxer. Just in December last year he fought for the Italian featherweight crown, losing on points to Davide Taxi, which currently boasts a streak of eleven consecutive victories and, therefore, after Cinisello Balsamo, it will be easy to compare with Lafemina at a distance.
The pagan is on the rise, but this time he will have to step into the ring with the awareness of having to bend a boxer who has proved tetragonal even against higher class rivals such as Maludrottu, Marsili e Malik Bouziane, to which he contended for the European bantamweight title.
In each of his seven matches won, Lafemina has let a glimpse of the talents and will of the champion. And, moreover, he never made a secret of his ambitions, always reiterating that he aspired to top positions in the supergallo or in the featherweight. Up to now he hasn’t missed a shot, letting himself be guided by his teacher Praised and by the prosecutor Alessandro Cherchi, who included him in the great Milanese meetings, thinking of increasingly demanding opponents. On the other hand, Vincenzo also knows that only by patiently acquiring the necessary elements to complete his already considerable technical background will he be able to take off towards a bright future. In addition to Vincenzo La Femina, Joshua appears in the program Nmomah (9-0 with 3 knockouts), Francesco Russo (8-1 con 6 jo), Christian Cangelosi (1-0) and the rookie Giuseppe Founded. The five matches will be broadcast live on the Youtube channel of the Italian Boxing Federation and on the Gazzetta dello Sport website.
