WILLIE ‘BIG BANG’ CASEY Willie Casey was stopped in the first round of his WBA super-bantamweight title bout by holder Guillermo Rigondeaux in Dublin last night.
Cuban Rigondeaux, a two-time Olympic gold medallist, had Casey in immediate trouble after a testing body shot. And it wasn’t to last much longer as two knockdowns followed before a halt was called after two minutes and 38 seconds of the opening round.
The Limerick man, 29, landed a shot at the WBA belt after winning the European title last November.
