From puppy dog to prizefighter

WILLIE “BIG BANG” CASEY’S trainer Phil Sutcliffe has no fears for the Limerick man ahead of tomorrow night’s WBA World title fight at the Citywest Conference Centre.

However he can’t say the same for the highly ranked opponent Guillermo Rigondeaux.

“Rigondeaux will be elusive. There are four corners in the ring and we know he will have his name on every one of them. But you can’t run for 12 rounds. You have to mix it for one and that’s all we need” said former two-time European bronze medallist Sutcliffe.
