    considering he got a knock down that is mental. he must have given him two rounds only.

    116-111 Rakhimov was a terrible scorecard but I could definitely see a scorecard in favour of Rakhimov by 1 or 2 rounds.

    I think Cordina should move up to 135 next after defending against Zelfa Barrett.

    I think 114-113 was a fair card. The knockdown was the difference, some of the wide scorecards for Cordina here were ludicrous in my opinion.
    Fight of the year so far for me and there should be a rematch it was that close.
    Cordina going a bit OTT with the language with the interview

    Ridiculous having to apologise for swearing at near midnight on a subscription boxing channel

    Just when I thought we'd get through this without a rematch being mentioned Chris Lloyd goes and ruins it

    Great fight and seemed some atmosphere. 116-111 shocking

    I agree. Rakhimov outworked Cordina in a lot of the rounds and hurt him to the body several times, which was ignored. Cordina did definitely win for me but it was very close.

    Lol did Eddie just call Sims one of the most honest men in the sport.

    I think the scorecard was gash, Cordina should have been up on all, I can accept them being close but it's clear who won that however you look at it, you don't get extra points for being tough.

    I agree, Barrett and then get out of there.

    I wish Shakur Stevenson could move back down and fight Cordina in a mega fight. The other champions aren’t really that interesting to be honest. Foster and Hector Luis Garcia, and then Navarette who can’t make 130 anymore.

    The belts could become fragmented at 135 soon. I see Haney and Garcia all moving up to 140 in their next fights. Maybe we could see Cordina Stevenson at 135. I am pretty sure they fought each other in the amateurs.

    The punch stats at one point had Rakhimov well up. To me he seemed to land more but Cordinas punches looked crisper. The DAZN coverage was so biased though and maybe that influenced some on here.

    Stevenson would make Cordina look silly imo, he's barely lost a round as a pro.
