Boxing. Promising debut in Bourg for Raphaël Aroutounian

The English boxing gala organized on Saturday at the Claudius Favier gymnasium by the Burgian Boxers gave a good place to local pugilists, some of whom entered the ring for the first time in an official fight. Their presence attracted a large audience on Saturday afternoon who came to encourage them. This was not enough for the young Ahmed Chichi and Melinda Horlaville, beaten from the start. Djelassi, Sangoura, Sow and Da Veiga then experienced more success among the juniors.

The senior fights promised to be spectacular and competitive. It was off to a good start for the Bressans, who with Antoine Fillod obtained a first victory after a clash of rare intensity against Thomas Roux. We were expecting the entry of Raphaël Aroutounian in less than 84 kg. “He is valiant in the ring, he doesn’t give up,” his manager Husnu Erdogan says of him. In fact, opposed to the solid Jura Axel Promon, Aroutounian gave his opponent no respite, often cornered on the ropes. The referee preferred to end his ordeal during the third round, after he had been counted twice at eight.

The gala continued into the evening, hosted by former professional boxer Cédric Sperandio, with elite fights. The Bellegardian Timeo Carlet was beaten on points by the Nancéian Yacine Saidini.
