    What a fantastic 12 rounds.

    I've got Cordina slightly ahead here but it's defo debatable.

    What ever the purses were they have earned every single bloody penny here...no question!

    Whatever the decision I'd love to see a rematch here.

    That fight has really made my night!

    I'm buzzing here

    I have it the same as you. A lot of his power shots that landed were overstated in their effect or plain didn't land clean at all. I thought Rakhimov worked his way into most of the rounds very well.

    It’s definitely a close fight, Cordina was giving away rounds mid fight when he clearly had all the skill to make that very easy. I hope it doesn’t bite him, he’s talented

    Great fight and impressive performance by Cordina. By both in fact. I'd love to see Rak in with the American school of slickness because he's really tough, absolutely relentless, hits hard and that pressure of his will drown many a slick boxer down the stretch. Cordina showed toughness himself to withstand it and not succumb to it. Cordina deserved it but Rak was fiercely competitive from start to finish and a lot of the rounds were close and Rak was more consistent in the later rounds whereas Cordina fought in spurts.

    Great fight, I enjoyed that, Cordina wins but both had moments of success.

    Vegas fight isn't it?

    4am is too bloody early. DAZN at least allows a replay with no risk of finding out the result. I will wake up at 8am and watch it with my morning cup of tea.

    Got 114-113 for Cordina, though it going to either man would be fine. Hell, I'd be okay with a draw if it meant a repeat of this action, and I normally hate rematches.

    Gave it Cordina by a couple of rounds plus the KD. Tony Bellew needs to watch the fight next time if he's gonna score it.

    Definitely a very strong contender for FOTY. High level skills, heart, toughness, ebbs and flows, and action.
