    He should go to the ear specialist, though. He clearly has some hearing problems.

    Big fan of the guy now. He should fight O Shaqie next. Is he the first Irish champ since TJ Doheny?

    Impressive performance by Cacace. He was relentless, very fit, has a nice punch arsenal, and he clearly hits a lot harder than his KO% suggests. That shot on the break hurt Cordina badly and the ref is a goddamn moron or corrupt for not giving Cordina time to recover. Would it have changed the result? I'm not going to say it would've. But it sure as hell nearly got Cordina KO'd not long after and it definitely took something out of Cordina. But Cacace is a very underrated fighter and I'm pleased for him.

    A fantastic hard earned win. He simply wasn't gonna be denied. Respects to Cordina too.

    Not suspicious in the least, his power in sparring is the stuff of legend, but he usually plays the role of the slickster and boxes people's ears off on teh back for. He knew he'd have to take the fight to Cordina on the front foot and try to hurt him, which was helped along by Cordina mostly likely staying a fight or two too long at 130.

    Does the crappy IBO belt even count as a unification
