Jaidon continues his climb to the top of the lightheavyweight rankings after destroying Carl Cockerham by 2nd round TKO. **** YEAH!
Codrington has stayed active since he was brutally KO'd by Allan Green, but he's not fighting elite fighters. He needs a lot of work before you can proclaim he is near the top of the LHW division. Look what happened when he stepped it up and fought Allan Green.
Agreed:good He's a good fighter when facing guys like he has been fighting, but the fact that he was KO'd cold in 19 seconds by Allan Green and looked like a dead man lying on the ropes leads me to believe the kid wouldn't have much success once he steps it up again. I wish him success though.
I wouldnt be placing any bets on Jaidon , well maybe a over/under bet. I would always bet on under:hey
