Denmark’s Oliver Meng walked away with a bittersweet performance after retaining his WBA continental European super welterweight crown in a draw against Felice Moncelli last Saturday at the Royal Arena in Copenhagen.
After 12 rounds of good action, the judges gave scores of 114-114, 117-112 and 113-115 to rule a split draw that keeps the local fighter as the WBA 154-pound regional champion.
Meng had an important test against the veteran from Italy and although he couldn’t defeat him, he put up a great fight and maintained his undefeated record. Moncelli, for his part, did his job of ruining the local party in Denmark but offered the public a great fight and brought out all of his experience in the ring.
Meng now has 12 wins, 1 draw and 4 knockouts. Moncelli has 24 wins, 8 setbacks, 2 draws and 6 knockouts.
