| This was followed by the fourth race of the evening where the Umbrian Filippo Gubbini faced the Apulian Gianpiero Sportelli for the Italian light title. The light regulation provides for some cases in which the match ends evenly and it was just like that: to the boxing superiority put in the ring by Gubbini - in a match that was not easy, however, where the lighter Sportelli responded in any case by scoring several hits and combinations giving rise a compelling boxing round - Sportelli showed a superior chess execution speed, moving very quickly and pressing the position of Gubbini from the beginning, taking advantage of the exposed position of the white queen. Gubbini won the first two rounds of boxing, at Sportelli in order not to lose all that remained was to win at the 4th round (in light, it starts with boxing and the chess rounds are the same), which he did by checking mate at the 17th move . |
