Terragno started best, using his superior reach to control the fight from a distance, but the aggressive Alifantaros had a clear game-plan to put him under constant pressure, and it would not be long before it started to pay off.

Already in round two Terragno was forced to abandon the jab and trade with his opponent, making it a shoot-out, but the local man still managed to move well and score with his counter-shots.

In rounds three through six the visitor had found his grove, and appeared to come out on top of most exchanges. Terragno was game, but looked tired and things were not going his way, even though he had started to use his jab again.

Alifantaros was on fire in round seven, and it looked to be over when he floored Terragno with a right-left-right combination, but the Italian just beat the referees count, bravely but barely. Alifantaros looked one punch away from the biggest win of his career, and he went for the finish but couldn't find it.

In the eighth and final round, Alifantaros suffered a cut. The doctor took a look, and decided he should not be allowed to continue, making Terragno the winner by Technical Knockout. A very controversial call, as Alifantaros looked to be only a few minutes away from victory.

Terragno remains undefeated at 9-0 (3), while Alifantaros drops to a very deceiving 5-3 (2) and at the very least deserves a rematch!
