Wood’s cacace “too good”: Veteran boxer wins TKO, battle to widen his eyes

Anthony Cacace (24-1, 9 KOS) says he feels like he’s aged on the contrary, like a character in the film “Benjamin Button” The 36-year-old took his ninth technical knockout of former two-time WBA featherweight champion Leewood (28-4, 17 KOs) at the Motorpoint Arena in Notumim, England last Saturday night.

The wood was outboxed and slug outdoors by tall, skilled casses. In the ninth round, Cacace headed for the finish, letting it down in a blizzard of punches and sending stumbling wood onto the ropes. Judge John Latham gave him an eight-count position. Lee then tried to fight back, but Cacace continued his relentless attack, nailing him with hooks, uppercuts and body shots.

Succession towel

Finally, Wood desperately tried to retreat across the ring and turn his back on Casse. Wood’s trainer saw his fighter in a desperate position and chose to throw a surrender towel. Davison has done it before with Wood, so he’s become quite good at throwing his towels. He should have stood up and fought like a warrior, but he turned his back and ran. I don’t know what to say about that. That speaks a bit in its own right, right? The stop time was 2:15 in Round 9.

Cacace showed in his performance that he is still fighting at a high level, showing that he has lost nothing from his victory over Joe Cordina and Josh Warrington last year. However, the 36-year-old wood was not the ideal gauge to tell you how much Irish native Kakaath remains in the tank. Lee was away from the 19-month layoff, but he was not considered a true elite-level world-class fighter.

Wood’s claims about fame had defeated Can Xu, Mauricio Lara and Michael Conlan. None of these fighters are in the same galaxy as today’s featherweight murderers: Rafael Espinoza, Stephen Fulton, Nick Ball and Angelo Leo. Even featherweight candidates, even fighters like Bruce Carrington and Brandon Figueroa, will be a pure nightmare for trees.

Age was ignored

“I feel like I’m a Benjamin button in boxing. I’ve been working since I was old,” Anthony Cacarce said. Ring Magazineabout the high level he still plays, fighting like a fighter in his late 20s.

“It was special to get it tonight. I’m so happy to get the results. I’m going to move on to bigger and better. I was a little better tonight (for Lee Wood).”
