Belfast's Cacace retains British Super-Featherweight title with win against Woodstock

IN a clinical display in Birmingham, Anthony Cacace outclassed his opponent to gain a unanimous decision.

Of the three judges, two scored the match in favour of Cacace 117-110 and the third scored 117-111.

Dictating the early rounds, Cacace saw success in the fourth with an upper-cut that put Lyon Woodstock on the canvas.

Switching between orthodox and southpaw styles, Cacace was able to answer anything Woodstock gave.

Looking relaxed and always in control, Cacace went on to dominate the later rounds showing his ability to counter punch every time Woodstock found his front foot.

Looking forward, Cacace has set his sights on a bout with Archie Sharp who's record show, has maintained a clean sheet following 20 fights.
