    So this one crept up on me, forgot about it entirely tbh! Both very capable fighters, comfortable in the pocket, Cacace is cool under fire, Woods got scorching power when he sits down on his shots but Cacace hits harder than his KO ratio suggests and Wood doesn't have the sturdiest jaw so I'm expecting a fun anything can happen style shootout to break out at times, resulting in an enjoyable watch and a hard fought Wood victory, whats everyone else saying?

    Cacace - he's the one with the momentum / good form right now and think it'll show.

    Cacace. I think Wood might struggle because of inactivity, he hasn’t fought for over a year and a half.

    Great fight, Cacace to win but you can never write Wood off.

    Wood @ 5.5 KO/TKO is worth a punt even if only for entertainment value

    I’m going with the better boxing of Wood, he throws long punches, more variable with the lead hand and he stabs it to the body well which stifles momentum and throws off your rhythm, I don’t think Cacace can just walk through what Wood will be dishing out, he ends up on the end of the punches, trying to get in, but can’t throw enough or pressure enough for fear of being caught, so he is circumspect and gets outboxed and outworked on the outside, if he does just go for it, he leaves himself at risk for being caught.

    This is assuming they’re both as past it/have as much left as each others.

    Good odds there in fairness! Cacace tough as nails though

    Great fight. Probably edge towards the momentum and activity of Cacace.
