James Dickens vs Anthony Cacace & Pierce O'Leary vs Maxi Hughes + Jono Carroll vs. Colm Murphy RBR.

Dickens is a really tough style to looks good against. Cacace did more than enough to win i thought.

Crowd was incredible was a full house from The Jono Caroll fight. Enjoyed the card, shame the main event was a bit more lively

 

Just catching up with the main event. Bit of a shame really, because on paper this had card-of-the-year potential, but none of the fights have really caught fire and judging by the RBR the headline didn’t fully either.

O’Leary looked sharp, but Maxi’s had a long, hard career and that Zepeda fight after the Kambosos robbery was never going to help his longevity with everything he took in it. Cacace is still on a roll and Dickens has clearly improved over time, but Anto needs a big fight next – yet it wouldn’t surprise me if they try and match him with Conlan rather than Ball or a unification.

 

Anto has said he’s money over belts.

 

Looks like Frank has himself a new headliner in O’Leary.

 

Can’t really blame him. At his age he could fall apart overnight, especially with how he must be cutting to make the weight, so I guess it’s sensible to cash in while he can. Wouldn’t shock me if he even tries a move to Zuffa at some point, although Bricktop will probably have him locked up ironclad.

Plus with lads like Navarrete around, a unification is a ball-breaking route to take at this stage, so Conlan in Ireland just seems more attractive and makes way more business sense.

And fair play to Dickens too – he did well last night considering the size difference. I honestly expected him to fold late pre-fight, but he stayed in it and made Cacace work for everything.

 

I agree. He probably didn’t start earning decent money until 35 so get as much as you can. He’s won a world title x2 so get the bigger names & money.

 

Just watched a replay of the main event and it lacked excitement.

Cacace needs to back up his mouth and fight Navarette next.

No time for people calling out names at the end of fights and then fighting British level Conlan instead.

No excuses about money - there is good money to be made defending World Titles.

 

Surely Cacace won't fight Conlan.Conlan is shot to pieces.

Suppose it will sell in Ireland so makes sense in that regard, but Conlans chin will again look like tempered glass very early.

Outside the arena last night.

 

There was something going on during the night, kept seeing Frank/Lee Eaton looking to their left, and there was lots of security rushing about

 

It looked full of whoppers, cameras panning in on some coked up idiot dancing on the stairs and they're all laughing it up but those guys will turn in the blink of an eye

 

I know Cacace isn’t a 'loyalist' or whatever they're called but surely putting a Belfast fighter on in Dublin isn't the smartest idea.

 

No, he’s just obviously part of the anti Liverpool brigade that’s on here.

 

Sounded a really good, close fight on the main RBR.

 

It’s the loud minority of Liverpool fans who scream about socialism, fly flags about conflicts they know nothing about etc. They are an embarrassment to the quiet majority, nobody calls them out though, it’s like it’s their way or the highway, similar to the ever so tolerant far left who are actually the total opposite of somone has a different opinion. Trust me most Liverpool fans are normal. I 100% agree with booing the national anthem though, monarchy should have been gone a long, long time ago.

Everton have more Welsh fans Mr Nil Satis Nisi Optimum. I had to go to Arrowe Park hospital at 17:30 on a Saturday. Everton played at 3PM at Goodison, you should have seen the tunnel! Maybe they’re all from County Road and got rich haha.
