    I hope Briedis has one last great performance in him, the first fight was an incredible back & forth war.

    However to be fair Cordina is not complaining about the stoppage being premature.

    Cacace stealing the show on the biggest of nights, what a beast. Took his opportunity like only the best of us can manage.

    They would have turned up for Beterbiev trust me. He is "one of their own"

    That's was an enjoyable fight and fantastic performance from Cacace. The timing of the stoppage was a bit strange as there were plenty of other moments where Cordina was taking worse punishment and he should have stopped it, but it was coming in any event.

    If Cordina didn't have them Turkey teeth, he would have been able to move his head quicker!!

    Cacace is suddenly Irish on boxrec. He was listed as a UK fighter for most of his career, and was even a British champion.

    I've been saying this for a while too, that's a very very very old looking "30".

    Rematch for what? Lol he beat the breaks off of him. Let him unify against O Shaqie. Only if Cordina is a massive payday.

    NOW THAT WAS A FIGHT. Might end up being the best of the night.

    Way to fill out an undercard, Saudi dudes.

    The inactivity is a big problem heading into such a rematch. IMO he should head in like it's round 13. Go guns blazing and put it on Opetaia from the get-go.

    I knew Cacace was good he did a number on Magnesi who I rate but still i wasn't expecting him to stop Cordina like this. Congrats to him for seizing the opportunity and becoming a World Champion.
