From the first gong the Italian set a high tempo and threw a lot of punches. The German went into a deep defence and was clearly not ready for such a fight. After three rounds, Doberstein was visibly tired and refused to continue the fight.
On the same evening, Francesco Patera (24-3, 9 KOs) and Davis Bosquiero (49-7-2, 22 KOs) fought for the WBO Intercontinental lightweight belt. The fight ended with a third-round TKO victory for Patera.
