The better player usually wins, whatever the opening.

Ouch!! I don't like Poziani!! That is why I usually avoid e5 after 1. e4!!

I don't think there is really a reason to be afraid of it, and it's not like you'll face Ponziani that often if you play 1...e5. Black could easily get a really good position out of the opening in this game, had they simply taken on d4 on move 8.
