Jean Moraiti
from France won both the vacant
World Boxing Federation (WBF)
International and vacant WBF
Eurasia Light Welterweight
titles on Saturday night,
October 31, when he defeated
game but outclassed Georgian
Anzor Gamgebeli at the Salle
Serge Mesones in his hometown
Aubagne.
While
Gamgebeli always tried to make
his mark in the fight, Moraiti
seemed to be in control from
start to finish and put an
exclamation point on his
excellent performance by scoring
knock-downs with well-placed
body-shots in rounds five and
seven.
The visitor
showed great heart by getting
off the canvas twice
to beat the
count of referee Bertrand
Chagnoux,
and still try to turn the tide,
but after ten rounds
of boxing there was no doubt
that Moraiti had won most of the
rounds and would be declared the
winner.
Judges Gilles
Walhin, Joachim Rueda and
Jean-Marcel Nartz all had him
ahead by wide scores of 99-90,
98-90 and 100-88 respectively,
improving the new double WBF
titlists professional record to
11-8-4 (0). Gamgebeli drops to
23-11-3 (9).
The World
Boxing Federation (WBF) title
fight was the headliner of a
well-attended show promoted by
Le Noble Art Aubagnais.
