Casey: He is world class

WITH a dazzling array of powerful punches delivered with pinpoint accuracy it took Guillermo Rigondeaux less than three minutes to end Willie “Big Bang” Casey’s world title hopes before a frenzied following at the Citywest Convention Centre on Saturday night.

No one was surprised by outcome — the multi-talented Cuban climbed into the ring for his first defence of the interim WBA super bantamweight belt as the overwhelming favourite.

What was shocking was the clinical execution which stunned not only the teak tough Limerick southpaw but the thousands of fans who followed him to the capital.
