    True but the experience he has gained from boxing guys like Walsh,Cacace will help him to beat a feather fisted guy who boxed Latvian dustmen.

    Punishment what on earth are you talking about?? It was a tough fight for both guys but that fight took nothing out of Ronnie.. He wasnt massively hurt at any stage of the fight until he gambled in the last round.. He got caught by a punch he didnt see and it knocked his equilibrium.. He didnt recover and Cacacae jumped on him forcing the stoppage. He was recovered 10 secs later. Ronnie is a tough guy with a good chin he just got a little greedy and paid for it.. Thats the biggest lesson he couod of learnt

    listen mate i know ronnie is your brother but you have to be honest with yourself about the cacace fight. yes ronnie gave a good account of himself but he was eating right hands throughout the fight and they were not just range finders. :good

    i know that you and jamie2011 have said that the mccorry fight was all down to ronnie making weight but (only my opinion by the way) but something just didn't look right with him, he is 31 year old and has been involved in combat sports for many years so it isn't impossible that ronnie could either be slipping or that the cacace fight took something away from him:good

    i hope not because as you have mentioned he has a great attitude and will fight anyone/anywhere and i hope he gets the shot at the british and wins it for scotland:good

    Ronnie started well against Cacacae outboxing him then just couldnt deal with the outreached left pawing jab.. Cacacae should of been warned and points off. Ronnie had his tactics wrong or didnt listen.. As for slipping he was brilliant against Vasilev then poor against Mcrorry thats the heavies hes come in for a fight at Super Feather he was very lethargic.. Its simple with Ronnie he needs to let his hands go quicker and punch to the body thats when hes at his best.. We havent seen his best yet.. We have seen glimpses in the gym hopefully it all comes together soon

    Everyone has their opinion on the Cacace fight. For me it's a fight that Ronnie shouldn't have taken. A 36 hour weigh in period against someone like Cacace should have been discussed , it's a day before weigh in not day and a half before. Josh Taylor came in around welterweight and Cacace was bigger than him. Simple fact is the bigger man won! Ronnie kept trying and trying, hurt him to the body but just didn't perform. He was brave and awkward and gave the fans a great fight but in truth hes better than that. He trained full time for the fight out in Marbella but again wrong people around him, sparring Tom stalker the whole camp to benefit him and not himself. I agree we are full of excuses but all the things I say are true. I am biased to an extent as anyone is with family, but in truth do you believe we would want to see him hurt and talk him into something that dangers him. He lives with any super feather in the uk barring Walsh at the moment, he fights to his potential he beats them! He's the best super feather in Scotland. Some things in the lead up to the Cacace fight were an absolute disgrace. 2 weeks before fight Ronnie was on weight (could have done feather) so put weight back on as he was training in Marbella. He then struggled to lose the weight and like any fighter on the weigh in took it off as late as he could, as he stood on the scales his manager is at him for his money. The weighed in without him as he was 14 minutes late. All these people who don't need to be named in preparation for their fights , Ronnie at his own expense drives through to spar them and help them out yet when he fights their nowhere to be seen. Anyone who knows him will tell you he would help anyone out. For people on his Facebook page goes through to lochend for sparring and to help out goes in with their amateur heavyweight who in truth did not hold back. He loves fighting and terry McCormack would tell you the same he would go in that gym and stay in the ring and spar every single fighter in their one after another. Did Cacace take a lot out of him? I don't know, the mccorry fight was all weight. Being around him through that camp he was massive and left it very late regarding weight, stepping on the scale after missing weight for the first time
    In his career. He came in the ring around 11lbs heavier than he normally does. Loyalty in boxing is non existent and Ronnie in truth is just looking to enjoy himself, fight the best, entertain his fans and have fun. Takes nothing on here personnel as he doesn't care. Those who have met him from gyms, fans from Glasgow, Aberdeen, England (mainly Troy James coach, imran naem, and trainers down London) all know his attitude and what he puts in. Time will tell what happens next

    I'm pretty sure they didn't have the weigh in at 10am :rofl wasn't it at 2pm? that is pretty standard for a weigh in mate, when have you ever heard of a day before weigh in being at 9pm so it is 24 hours:rofl:rofl:rofl

    and also please stop this talk about cacace being the size of josh taylor, you are making yourself look silly. yes cacace looked big but big for a super feather not the size of a welterweight:good

    Had a weigh in at 12. Also most weigh ins Ronnie has been involved in have been at 6pm. Including his weigh in with Craig Evans, Troy James and Ryan Walsh. Cacace was bigger than Josh Taylor, there's pictures that show this. Its their choice to do weigh ins this time but Ronnie manager should have had it in place to do a later weigh in as that's what managers jobs are to try and eliminate advantages of opponents.

    How can a super featherweight be bigger than a welterweight though?

    you are never going to get any sense from them, jamie2011 pictures don't alway tell the whole story and you know it. josh is a big welterweight at touching 6ft and i was at the cacace fight and there wasn't much difference between ronnie and cacace, different body shapes yes but a massive difference I'm not so sure. :good

    that night i got a picture with both cacace and josh taylor and trust me josh is a totally different animal to cacace. at the time they were both being trained by shane mcguigan are you really saying that shane wouldnt be trying to get his boxers losing a similar amount of weight before a weigh in depending on their division? or would he have his welterweight losing a few lb but his super feather losing 20lb. try thinking about things before typing mate:good

    Mate you said that Josh is 6ft when he's 5"11 and Cacace is 5"10. Trust me Cacace and Josh were the same size that night. Course you can have your opinion but Cacace for me will never do super feather again. It's impossible for him . Time will tell
