Some other Italian HW's

Getting side tracked just a little bit from finishing off Rocco Mazzola's opponents I got a couple Italian HW's here for you...

Massimo Zanaboni - Italy
Heavyweight 1957-1961

20 wins / 2 losses / 0 draw / 5 KO

Alias: Leo d'Maremma

Rating by: Rocco Del Sesto

Zanaboni's two career losses were by KO. The first, a 7th round KO to Jose Gonzales Sales in Feb. 1958. The 2nd time he was stopped was in what turned out to be the 2nd to last fight in his career in June 1959 when he fought Bruno Scarabellin for the Italian Heavyweight Title. Scarabellin KO'd Zanaboni in the 8th round.

The other noteable fights in Massimo's career all turned out to be wins against Bobby Warmburnn, Hans Peter Drabes, Giovanni Alfonsetti, Robert Eugene, Sales in a 2nd fight between the two, Warmbrunn again, Alain Cherville, Uber Bacilieri, Feerico Friso, and Bacilieri again. He won his last career fight a KO of Gianfranco Tommasini (love that name, not much of a record, 4-11-1,1KO).
