Watertown Boxer Expects Tough Competition in 3rd Pro Fight, Also Expecting First Child

Emily Harney PhotographyWatertown’s Rico DePaolis won his second professional fight in May, and is preparing for his next bout on July 23. On Friday, July 23, Watertown’s Rico DePaolis returns to the ring for his third professional fight, and this time the atmosphere will be a bit different. “To fight in front of a crowd at any level is great, but this is my first time as a pro,” DePaolis said. After making his professional debut in March — a first round technical knock out loss — DePaolis scored his first win as a pro in May with a first round TKO. Both events were limited to just the boxers and their trainers.
