He didn't utter a word of complaint though. You can't take a minutes worth of punches and throw NOTHING back. Fair play to him for not going down. I think the reason he stayed up was because he covered up though. Willie just beat him into submission
I think the stoppage was reasonable enough, even though Hyland didnt seem hurt. But you cant lie on the ropes taking punches without reply for well over 30 seconds and expect the ref to do nothing..... Fair play to Casey, top lad....
What a fight! Hyland fought class in the first round - excellent boxing skills and he made sure he was throwing his shots with as much spite as possible. Then in the third he stood in front of Casey and traded! Hyland can come back, I feel for him as he got his tactics wrong, but well done the big bang - what a character and what a fighter. Great atmosphere too!
Fair ****s to Willie he deserved that . The size difference Between Kiko and Willie at the end of the fight Kiko is a stocky little ****er but as someone said Willie has a bigger each I think Kiko will have his work cut out for him when he gets in the ring with Willie.
lads was this being broadcast any where outside ireland.cause willie was being interviewed by a different presenter then the rte fella at one stage
Well done to the Big Bang. At first I thought it was a bit early for the ref to step in this is a huge night for both fighters. I would of let Hyland see th bell and if he was taking the same punishment as in the last the round then step in. I wonder what Carlos thought of that fight? Maybe Carlos v Hyland some time next year then try and get the winner of Kiko V Casey.
