Mirko Pizzi v Dylan Biggs. Australasian Super Welterweight title. Pizzi won this title in his last fight and was attempting to make his first defence. Dylan Biggs is the highly touted prospect from Queensland, attempting to win his first belt. From the first round Biggs imposed his presence with solid and long jabs to the head and body, and straight right hands to the head. Pizzi spent a lot of the early rounds just trying to get a gauge on his long and rangy opponent. Biggs’ strength inevitably was making an impression of Pizzi, and as the rounds went on, Pizzi’s face became more marked up. And Pizzi found himself in survival mode. To Pizzi’s credit, he did last the duration and made it to the final bell. He lost a unanimous decision, scores of 80-72 x2 and 78-74.
