James Dickens vs. Anthony Cacace – results and post-fight report
Anthony Cacace became a two-time world champion, dethroning James Dickens.
He became WBA world champion in Dublin after a unanimous decision victory over Dickens.
The three judges handed it to Cacace with the cards read: 115-113, 116-112, 116-113.
The main event was razor edged for the first four rounds of the fight every round is difficult to call.
Things changed in the fifth set when “Apache” started to find his range and “Jazza Dickens” suffered an injury before a dominant round.
Dickens did well to drag the round towards the end, but it was still mostly in Cacace’s favor.
The sixth game was similar to the first, both players landed well and it was challenging to check them.
‘Apache’ probably won the next few rounds before he was caught in a nasty header in the ninth round.
Dickens made no mistake after a header and punished Cacace, who seemed anxious as he sat on his stool before the 10th round.
The Liverpudlian looked the smarter and fitter of the two heading into the final three rounds, despite being low on the cards.
Cacace did enough to claim a decisive points victory over 12 rounds.
Pierce O’Leary vs. Maxi Hughes
Pierce O’Leary claimed victory over former world champion Maxi Hughes in Dublin, forcing him to retire from a corner kick before the sixth round.
O’Leary impressed early on, winning the first three rounds.
It was his early attack that counted, beating out Hughes in the fourth round, who looked set to be stopped; somehow the Doncaster man heard the bell at the end of four o’clock.
He continued to apply pressure in the fifth round, which was supposed to be the final round of the competition. Hughes showed great heart to reach the final bell, but was forced to withdraw before the sixth.
In the corner, “Maximus” could be heard stating, “I can’t hear a damn thing.”
O’Leary starred on his Irish homecoming to win the IBO world title and will be looking to continue his unbeaten run.
Undercard remaining
Heavyweight prospect Adam Olaniyan made his professional debut in Dublin and it was a dream start with a first-round knockout in the first minute of the fight.
He stopped Jan Bezouska after dropping him seconds earlier, which is the start of a very invigorating journey.
Ryan Garner returned to action for the first time with a gigantic victory over Reece Bellotti after the last break.
This fight was more of an escape for “Piranha” as he faced the Endosperm. He made the Mexican’s job easier by hurting him in the second round before forcing the referee to step in and end the fight in the third round.
Jono Carroll and Colm Murphy had a great fight on the undercard, fighting for a points decision, which Carroll topped on each judge’s scorecard.
Steven Cairns stopped Arnie Dawson in the ninth, who was suffering just the first defeat of his career, while Gary Cully got back to winning ways with a six-round decision victory.

Another debut came on a card starring Bobbi Flood, who broke down in the first round with a minute left in the round.
Eoghan Lavin stopped Liam Walsh with Carty and McReynolds scoring.

On Wednesday, Lewis Crocker heads to Australia to defend his IBF welterweight world title against Liam Paro for the first time.
Crocker will face Paro at the Pat Rafter Arena in Queensland, live on DAZN in the UK and Kayo Sports in Australia.
Crocker (22-0, 11 KO) became world champion in September, defeating Paddy Donovan twice before winning the rematch by split decision.
Man from Belfast recorded his second victory over Donovan after the first victory in March last year, and his rival was disqualified for hitting him after the bell.
Paro (27-1, 16 KO) is trying to become a world champion in two weight categories, having previously reigned in the super-lightweight division.
The 30-year-old won the title with a unanimous decision victory over Subriel Matias in Puerto Rico before winning the belt in his first defense against Richardson Hitchins.
The Australian has since won twice, overtaking David Papot in his last appearance in September.
McKean meets Taliva
Heavyweight Demsey McKean will look to continue his rebuild when he faces Liam Talivaa for the vacant IBF Pan Pacific title.
McKean (24-2, 16 KO) had his career cut miniature after a last-round loss to Filip Hrgovic, followed by a brutal first-round loss to Moses Itauma.

The 35-year-old southpaw returned to winning ways with back-to-back stoppage victories.
Talivaa (8-2, 4 KO) last won the IBF Oceania-Orient title, defeating Faiga Opelu by first-round stoppage.
Undercard remaining
At cruiserweight, Luke Modini (13-0, 11 KO) will likely need distance to beat Peng Qu (17-2-1, 12 KO), while Riley Candy (8-1, 5 KO) could stop Nathan Watson (11-3, 3 KO) at super middleweight.
Vegas Larfield (13-1, 9 KO) can hand Shamal Ram Anuj (11-8, 8 KO) his fourth defeat in a row in a featherweight clash.
Heavyweight Nelson Asofa-Solomon (2-0, 2 KO) can secure a third straight knockout over debutant George Burgess, and Stevan Ivic (8-0-1, 2 KO) can do the same against Caleb Tialu (3-7, 3 KO), also a heavyweight.
Prospective super welterweight fighter Jack Javed (1-0) should overtake Lance McDonald (1-5-1, 1 KO).
