Giacomo Bozzano

Giacomo "Mino" Bozzano (born 12 April 1933 in Sestri Levante - died 21 November 2008) was a former Italian boxer, who won the bronze medal in the Heavyweight division (+ 91 kg) at the 1956 Summer Olympics in Melbourne, Australia.

He lost to Lev Mukhin of the Soviet Union and was eliminated, but then, at just age 23 he went into pro boxing post-Olympics.

But Bozzano was obviously ring-rusty and in the second round the Berlin southpaw slammed a hefty right-hander to the Italian's ribs.

Bozzano played into Amonti's hands by carrying out repeated attacks at close quarters instead of relying on his superior reach and boxing skill.

No knockdowns were scored but Bozzano soaked up a welter of punches by the third round that he was obliged to raise his arms in defeat, completely groggy.
