For those who saw him fight last night, what did you think of him?
I still say it was too early in Coddington's career to fight Bika. Bika is a tough opponent for anyone, but Coddington wasn't ready for that fight. I'm not making excuses, he signed up for it, but I feel like if he had developed his skillset, he would have known to box Bika, not slug with him.
It's Codrington..Quote:

I like to watch him fight cause he's a big puncher, but his defense is so bad that any other big puncher has a good chance to take him out quick (allan green).. I'd like to see him develop some defense, and maybe a little better balance, and if he succeeds in this then he could be a champ someday..
also, was that fight last night at LHW?? whats up w/ that? he should be at SMW in my opinion..
I think Jaidon has good skills except one thing a jaw. You seen last night he get touched he his leg's buckled and he almost collapsed a few times. A guy with 8 wins 21 losses and seven Kayo's is not really saying much about Codrington in my mind. He still needs alot of work if would ever want a rematch with Bika.
a guy like him needs very good defensive skills and he just doesn't have them. And then especially when he gets tired his legs will just go.
I kind of like him honestly but its tough for me to imagine him really making a lot of noise at 168.
I guess I am way off, but I thought his defense looked better last night. I agree, however, his defense is the main strike against him. Punchers will always give him problems. Also, don't forget Bika hits hard. He just knocked out Manfredo in 3 rounds and Coddington went 8 solid rounds with him.

Jaidon is best suited to be a contender......not a champion. (ha i made a funny there "contender" lol, ok nevermind) I'm not sure exactly how to describe "it" but jaidon doesn't have "it" whatever it is.

Honestly,I think he's a knockout waiting to happen.Tough enough but stiff and lack of defense will be very taxing.
He's already been stopped twice.Quote:

Thanks for clearing that up mate...rep to ya
That he could come back after such a savage icing at the hands of Green says a lt abot this kid. He is capable of a FOTY at almost anytime. He is an exciting type of fighter, but he takes too much punishment to last for the long haul. I hope I am wrong, as I really like him.
