Highly skilled Anthony Cacace will defend its own IBO super lightweight champion tonight against inactive first 126-pound champion Leigh Wood at Nottingham Stadium. Casses (23-1, 8 kos) will have to find a way to neutralize Wood’s power advantage (28-3, 17 kos) to win. Leigh reinvented his weight two years after layoffs, reinventing it with a 130-point reinvention.
Tonight’s Cacace vs. Wood event will be displayed Live in Daz Main card at 2:00 pm / 11:00 pm ET.
Hard test of wood
Wood could be bad tonight because it was his first battle with real talent. He believes he has something to docking with the previous sponsors, but that won’t work tonight. He was thrown by Cacace, and he has excellent technical skills.

The first two WBA lightweight champion Wood was not a spring chicken at the age of 36, and he left questions after the war with Mauricio Lara and Michael Conlan. Wood was punished a lot in those battles, even those buttercream that wasn’t a crop at 126.
His former promoter Eddie Hearn never matched him with the murderer’s lightweight match: Rafael Espinoza, Stephen Fulton, Angelo Leo and Nick Ball. In this regard, Wood is protected by the harsh world of lightweight divisions. This could be cruel for the well-managed domestic fighter jets, portrayed as the top tier.
The key to Cacace’s victory
Cacace has no ability to slap wood or punch. Therefore, he will have to rely on his skills to win tonight. If he made the mistake of standing in the tide with Leigh, it would not end for him. The wood may have surpassed his best, but his power remains.
