Joe Cordina v Shavkatdzhon Rakhimov

[Master]

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.

Yes definitely and the scoring could go either way depending on what you preferred. Boxing scoring is so subjective.

Definitely didn't feel like the kd should have been the only thing saving a draw but tons of ebb and flow. 116-111 way off.

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

[Master]

Bellew has it a draw.

Cordina stood too much and on the ropes which allows Rakhimov to get into the fight. He will kick himself if he loses.

[Master]

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.
