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
