By Scott Gilfoid: Earlier today, WBA 168lb champion Vincent Feigenbutz (20-1, 19 KOs) made weight for his title defense against Giovanni De Carolis (23-5, 11 KOs) for their fight at the dm-Arena in Karlshrue, Germany. The 20-year-old Feigenbutz weighed in at 165.8 pounds. His opponent #13 WBA De Carolis came in at 167.8lbs.
Feigenbutz needs a win in this fight for him to get the winner of the Felix Sturm vs. Fedor Chudinov fight for the WBA “regular” super middleweight title. Feigenbutz will need to earn his title shot the hard way by going through the 31-year-old De Carolis. However, it could be worse for Feigenbutz.
