IBO World Feather Anthony “Anto” Cacace (24-1, 9 Kos) stopped Leigh “Lethal” Wood (28-4, 18 KO) at 2:15 Ninth round on Saturday evening at Motorpint Arena in Nottingham, England.

In the eighth round, Wood broke his nose Kokau and cut him on his right cheek with an elbow. This shot seemed to motivate Cacace when he returned firmly in the last 30 seconds of the round to illuminate wood with repetitive shots. After the end of the round, Wood looked like a demoralized warrior. From his face he could say that he knew he had met his match.

In the ninth round, Cacace landed on the beard lines, ending with a chin with a left hook, sticking a heavily wounded wood. The ropes prevented the fall of wood because it would hit the deck if they did not prepare it.

Judge Lathan ruled that he was knocking down, which gives him an 8-number. When the action resumed, the tough left hook to the central part of Wood landed, wounding him. The wood then turned and started running through the ring. At this point, Wood’s corner threw a towel to stop the competition. They saw enough and did not want their warrior to be ended by Cacace. The stop time was 2:15 round of nine. T.

In the coefficient of the former British Master, EBU and IBO Pentemparting, Liam Davies, 17-1 (8), defeated the Olympian Kurt Walker, 12-1 (2), 12-round unanimous decision to win the free international title of the IBF international featherweight.

In the first round Walker replied Davies well. In the second to the fifth round, Davies returned well, using effective stab, drawing blood from his nose and a welt under the right eye of Walker in the fifth round.

From six to the tenth round, Davies dominated a less experienced Walker. In the twelfth and final round, Walker tried, but was worked out by Davies.

The results are 117-111, 116-113 and 118-112. Steve Gray was a judge.

WBA Int’l Airy Heavyweight Champion Ezra “The Cannon” Taylor, 12-0 (8) won a 10-round unanimous decision on Troy Jones, 12-1 (4).

In the first three rounds, Jones came forward, and Taylor, a counter-puncher, had a little advantage. In the fourth round Taylor opened, drawing blood from Jones’s nose. In the sixth round, Judge Bob Williams brought a point from Jones for using his forearm. Taylor still dominates.

In the last minute of the eighth round Taylor swayed Jones with his left hook to the chin. In the last seconds of the ninth round, Taylor shook Jones with his last blow, right on the chin. In the tenth and final round Taylor tried to end him when Jones held.

The results were 97-94, 100-90 and 99-91.

Former English champion and WBO EBU, Owen “The Worcester Warrior” Cooper, 11-1 (4), defeated the former Ibo Intercontinental champion Chris “2Slick”, 17-3 (7), fully a 10-round decision.

In the sixth and seventh round, Cooper used a two -way attack, which he counted from time to time. In the ninth round, although winning, Cooper was bleeding from his mouth. It was a war in the tenth and final round with everyone on the line. Congo’s mouthpiece came out in the last minute for the second time.

Judge Kevin Parker shot him 96-94.

Solomon Dacres Confidently Takes on Bakhodir Jalolov in Epic Showdown

"Solomon Dacres Confidently Takes on Bakhodir Jalolov in Epic Showdown"

Solomon Dacres expects to stop Bakhodir Jalolov tonight, but his record offers little support for that prediction against the 6’7″ two-time Olympic gold medalist.

Jalolov has looked sluggish enough lately to give critics room for skepticism. The dominant puncher seen in the amateur ranks rarely appears in his prize ring outings, prompting a few observers to sniff an upset. Regardless, Jalolov looking flat does not suddenly transform Dacres into a top threat.

“Got to get him out of there, man,” Dacres told SecondsOut. “Mid to late rounds.”

That would be a considerable leap for a fighter whose most revealing professional result remains his first-round stoppage defeat to David Adeleye in December 2024.

Dacres describes that loss as a “blip,” but it came against the most notable opponent he had faced. Across five years as a professional, he hasn’t built a record of beating contenders that would make a Jalolov knockout seem likely.

His points win against Vladyslav Sirenko also requires context. Sirenko amassed numbers without testing himself against true threats, meaning that victory hardly proves Dacres can deal with Jalolov’s height, reach, and southpaw boxing skills.

“This fight here is beyond English title level, man,” Dacres said. “This is like world level.”

Jalolov deserves criticism for how slowly his professional career has moved and for performances that haven’t matched expectations. His Olympic medals don’t excuse that, and Dacres has an opportunity to make him work.

Expecting Dacres to win because Jalolov underwhelms ignores his own modest punch output. Managing just three stoppages across ten victories, he lacks the firepower to back up big talk.

For Dacres to land the kinds of sustained combinations required to stop someone Jalolov’s size, he has to pin him down. Jalolov does not fight like a traditional, stationary heavyweight slugger. Even when he looks uninspired, he uses lateral footwork, maintains long range with his southpaw lead hand, and angles off before opponents can set their feet.

Dacres lacks both the foot speed to cut off the ring effectively and the explosive one-punch power to make Jalolov cautious. If Dacres tries to force the issue, he’ll put himself at risk of getting caught. Pressing aggressively against a 6’7″ southpaw who excels at firing straight left hands down the pipe is asking for trouble.

Unless Jalolov completely checks out mentally and stands against the ropes to trade, Dacres will be eating long jabs and counters all night, with a Jalolov stoppage being the far more probable outcome.
