Arijan Goricki Defeats Emiliano Salvini in Zagreb

PhilBoxing.com




Croatian featherweight prospect Arijan Goricki (10-1-1, 4KOs) defeated Emiliano Salvini (19-36-2, 2KOs) of Italy Saturday night in Zagreb, Croatia. Below is Goricki's personal report of the battle.

I won by a unanimous decision after 8 rounds, in a fight against the experienced and tough Italian Emiliano Salvini.

The fight took place at the Zagreb Fair, Croatia.

The fight was scheduled for 8 rounds.

The fight was broadcast on Zapad Television and on their Facebook page.

I entered the fight with not the best tactics for this fight, but we learn while we are in the fight. I would like to thank Salvini and his team for accepting the fight, it was a pleasure to share the ring with such a veteran.

My plan was to finish Salvini so I made a lot of mistakes in the hope of knocking him out, so I received a couple of unnecessary punches, I needed to do it a lot better. Now that the fight is over, I’m glad I boxed the way I did, I’ve gained a great experience.


Goricki (R) prepares to unleash his left at Salvini.

Salvini is a very short opponent, it is difficult to box with him. Although he has many years, I was surprised by the physical condition of Emiliano, it is nice to see that he can be in such good shape at that age.

I wanted much bigger names for this fight, but unfortunately it was not possible, no matter who is opposite me in the ring, I want to prove myself, so it was the same this time. I’m glad we beat Salvini by knockout, I want to knock everyone out and even though it means going through the opponent’s punches to place my strong punch. As I said before, my style is the most effective in the fights in the 10th and 12th rounds, then I will show my full potential.

Next year we plan to fight with experienced boxers who have a strong name, with a little help from sponsors and finding new ones, I will be able to afford those fights because I still bear the whole organization of the fight alone.

We are planning the next fight for March 2022, and we are continuing with our plan for a better ranking and attack on the European title.

I would like to thank my team for their excellent preparations and excellent tactics. I have to thank my friends and sponsors who help me in every fight, including this one, and to rank as soon as possible to the world stage as soon as I want to.
