  • Anthony Cacace is the winner!

    The judges have scored it in his favour, despite the Polish judge scoring it in favour of Magnesi.

    Well deserved for Cacace, who put in a brilliant, smart performance.

    Excellent boxing.

    It looks as though Cacace will win this one, barring some sort of judging mishap.

    Cacace is celebrating, and picks his dad out in the crowd, who is beaming with pride.

    A nice show of sportsmanship at the start of the round, and you would expect that Magnesi would need a knockout here to win it.

    Both these fighters have given it everything and it's been a truly entertaining spectacle.

    Cacace gets two nice right hands there...

    Then follows it up with a good left hand.

    The twelth and final round comes to a close, and the fighters embrace.

  • Round Eleven...

    Two rounds to go in this one, Cacace's corner are trying to get him over the line, telling him he's a world champion if he can see this out.

    The Belfast boy is prevailing here it looks like.

    He is making Magnesi come looking for it.

    They both look extremely tired, and there is one more round to go.

    This one could very well go the distance here, although Cacace is looking more comfortable as we get towards the end of the fight.

    Cacace gets a nice left hand in, that gets a good reaction from those ring side.

    Both of them are looking fatigued in there now, as Cacace looks like slowing down a bit now.

    Another solid left hand from range from Cacace.

  • Round Nine...

    Carl Frampton and the BT Sport team now all have Cacace in the lead here.

    Magnesi's feet have slowed right down, which has bought Cacace right into the fight, and he is able to get some shots in from distance.

    Magnesi looks less effective on the inside now when he gets there, Cacace has been a pro for ten years, and his experience is showing here.

    Magnesi gets a couple of big right hands, but is not moving his head as much as he should be at this point in the fight.

  • Round Eight...

    The referee has a very stern word with Magnesi, and tells them both to clean up their work.

    Good work from Cacace, who is keeping it at long range and scoring well on those shots from distance, not allowing Magnesi to do his work on the inside.

    It's a tight fight as we enter round seven...

    Cacace is just trying to hold Magnesi on the inside here, to try and smother the response from the Italian.

    Some good quality shots coming from Cacace in the end of this round, but more quantity of shots coming from Magnesi.

  • Round Six...

    A long way to go in what has been a gripping fight so far.

    The BT commentators currently have it at 3-2 to Cacace, but there is no doubt that this has been a close fight so far, with both boxers being successful in their individual styles.

    Magnesi has a damaged left eye, which is bleeding, that Cacace is targeting, caused by a clash of heads in the last round.

    Magnesi switching to southpaw seemingly now.

    Cacace gets a good right hand near the end of the round, as the fight reaches the halfway stage...

  • Round Five...

    Lovely shot, Magnesi almost walks straight into that from Cacace, who has definitely got a decent chin on him.

    A lovely swinging right hand from Cacace there, it looks as though Magnesi is slowing down a little in this round, which is allowing Cacace to get some better shots in.

  • Round Four...

    This looks like it's going to be a long, gruelling fight.

    Magnesi is yet to go twelve rounds, despite beating his previous eight opponents, but there is a good argument to say that Cacace is his best opponent so far.

    Clever from Cacace there, who is just counter attacking, Magnesi shakes his head, as if to say "Is that all you've got?"

    Cacace catches Magnesi with a big shot at the end of the round.

    Good round.

  • Round Three...

    That right hand of Cacace really bought a reaction out of Magnesi, you can tell he was caught there.

    Cacace is really being tested here, it is evident he has been a bit inactive recently, whereas Magnesi has been active.

    A close round, could have definitely gone either way.

  • Round Two...

    A few brilliant right hands from Magnesi, who is forcing the pace in the one so far.

    But a few good counters from Cacace, who gets a nice uppercut and a few good body shots as he has his best spell of the fight so far.

  • Round One...

    Magnesi is on the front foot and trying to dictate terms in the first round.

    A few good left hands from Cacace at the end of that first round there, a wry smile from Magnesi who knows he was caught there despite being constantly on the front foot.
