Round 7: Cordina 10-9

67-65 Cordina

Cordina can’t miss with the straight right hand. There was a fight between the crowd ringside. I wonder the impact Rakhimov’s bodywork will have later on in the fight.

 

**** your Bellew scorecards he still has Everton top of the league.

 

Cannot see Connor Henn in a World Title Fight like this against a man at his peak.

Cordina 78 - 73 Rakhimov

Rakhimov is a tough chap

 

One seriously hard lad to still be going, Cordina is taking him apart

 

Rakhimov shaking them gloves a lot now Joe might stop him in the next couple.

 

Having Sunny Edwards on commentary is a masterstroke.

His technical knowledge is adding so much to fights. It replaces the usual filler than we've become used to.

76-75 Cordina

Good work from Rakhimov landing some nice body shots. Cordina took that round off. Cordina did land a nice shot at the end of the round so the judges will probably score it for him.

 

Cracked it - you are getting text updates from Tony Bellew

 

Really enjoying this fight.

Cordina 88 - 82 Rakhimov

A couple of big shots from Joe just about swung the round for me

 

This isn't close, Cordina is way ahead, he's dropped him, picked him off and mangled his face

86-84 Cordina

Cordina ended the round really well but Rakhimov responded. I have to give the round to Cordina for the bigger shots. I think Rakhimov might be done. He looks very tired.

 

I don't know who is the other commentator on 5 live with Steve Bunce and Barry Jones, but he was calling Cordina Joe Calzaghe lol.

 

Ignoring all of Rakhimov’s body work. He has outworked Cordina to win some rounds. Some of the big shots Cordina through Rakhimov walked straight through.
