Terrific 3rd round both trading hard but I do not like the tactics of Cordina. He can win this with his boxing skills.

Can't see a thing Dazn isn't getting another dime ;D. Sounds like it kicked off in a hurry, appreciate the updates.
This is a good fight Cordina hand speed and accuracy wins the 4th round but Rakhimov is very dangerous.

Cordina is moving well here.
Rakhimov landing but Cordina countering.
Hard to split but I favour the aggressor.
2-2
You need me as a friend man. 🙄🙄🙄Quote:

They have slowed down a bit in round 6. Rakhimov is cut and Cordina is picking him off. Tremendous contest from both.
5-1
Cordina hand speed and accuracy taking over the fight in round 7. Rakhimov looks on the verge of a stoppage. World class boxing.
4-3 cordina.
He has taken over the last couple of rounds.
Rakhimov looks ready for the taking!!
shavkatdzhon's eye is messed. joe starting to land his big right many times that round
“Hes taking loads of leather anwal”
Cordina 5-3
Rakhimov chasing Cordina now and is dangerous when he has him cornered but Cordina still wins the round 8.
Well found the FB and pop up blocked center stream but hey audio and watching the feet works ;D. Bit like watching the old scrambled Playboy channel looking for a nip as a kid when the parents left the house :-X
6-3 Cordina
Cordina fast hands are doing enough to win the round 9 but Rakhimov is giving everything.
i've got joe ahead by six points after nine rounds
Very close 10th round both having success trading against each other. Rakhimov coming on strong
..
Unbelievable trading in round 11 by both. I like the work and accuracy of Cordina but Rakhimov could be given the round too.
i've got joe ahead by six points after eleven rounds. both guys are giving us an excellent fight
I like Cordina boxing and hand speed but Rakhimov work rate could have won it too.
I have an easy win for Cordina 9-3 but it could be a lot closer.
i've got joe winning by seven points
that's how i have itQuote:

Rakhimov eyes are swollen and he looks exhausted.
The judges have it 116-111 Rakhimov, 115-112 Cordina, 114-113 Cordina split decision.
Wrexham promoted and Cordina champion. It is Wales night. Brilliant fight.
joe wins a split decision. one judge has shavkatdzhon ahead by three points
add this to the foty contenders
Yes definitely and the scoring could go either way depending on what you preferred. Boxing scoring is so subjective.Quote:

joe cordina v o'shaquie foster is the fight i'd lik to see next in a perfect world
Good fight. Cordina's fitness won him that fight because guys like Rakimov are like David Avenysean, they're those "fight in a phonebox" type fighters that test your staying power because they're in your face every second.
There are no monsters at 130lb. So Cordina could unify but 130lb is politically divided. Matchroom has Cordina and Zelfa. SHO/PBC has Foster and Hector Garcia. Top Rank has Valdez and Navarrete. I don't expect unifications to happen anytime soon
Cordina could have won that fight far more easily than he did as it ended up into a split decision. When Joe used his boxing skills, footwork, hand speed and accuracy he was boxing the head off Rakhimov but when he stayed in front of his opponent or on the ropes he took unnecessary shots and was hurt especially in round 5.
Oddly enough Cordina did not have a mark on his face but Rakhimov face was battered and bruised.
