Roberto Cammarelle struggles past Mohammed Arjaoui

Italy's Roberto Cammarelle has continued his defence of his Olympic title with a one-point victory over Morocco's Mohammed Arjaoui.

A scrappy opening round ended with the scores level at 3-3. Arjaoui started the second round brightly by landing a massive right hand that wobbled Cammarelle.

The Italian's knees buckled, but he managed to hang on and regain his composure.

The Moroccan was warned a few times for throwing his shoulder into Camarelle, before finaly being publicly warned.

Cammarelle was getting the better of the contest but was only one point in front. A straight left jab from Arjaoui just warned the Italian to stay on his toes.

In the end, the Italian ran out a 12-11 winner.
