Francisco Costa loses final-round duel in Gondomar | OneFootball

The festivities in honor of Our Lady of the Rosary, in São Cosme, included Arrow Night Gondomar, a boxing event that brought more than 700 spectators to the Souto Amphitheater.

Francisco Costa, FC Porto’s junior boxer in the 72 kg category, starred in one of the most hard-fought bouts of the night against Gonçalo Santos. The fight was only decided in the third and final round, with victory going to the home athlete.

Hugo Fangueiro, head of FC Porto’s boxing section, said the initiative was “a demonstration of the best that exists in Portuguese boxing,” although he admitted that “we were not expecting the defeat.” Francisco Costa and Gonçalo Santos will face each other again on October 17 in Matosinhos, in a bout for the Regional Championship.
