Belfast boxer Damaen Kelly was beaten by Simone Maludrotto for the second time this year as the Italian defended his European bantamweight crown.
The fight in Sardinia ended in the third round when Kelly's corner threw in the towel to stop the bout.

Kelly had started well but a sharp right hand in the third left him reeling and, as Maludrottu piled on the punches, Kelly's team stepped in.

In April, Kelly had gone 12 rounds with Maludrotto, who won on points.

Kelly was unlucky not to have been awarded Maludrotto's bantamweight title at that attempt in Belfast as he had out-boxed the Italian for much of the contest.

The Belfast boxer was aiming to become the first Irishman to win European titles at two different weights.

Don't know anything about Kelly but I remember hearing that he was majorly robbed some months ago... Was that the first fight between these two?
