Cordina v Rakhimov

Showing your age mate.

That was a belting fight. I thought the right man won but would happily watch it all again.

GLAD I didn't sit through 12 rounds of that shit. Those two blokes are talking utter bullshit..

 

116-111 ......

 

Uncle Eddie takes care of it......

 

Stupid singsong accent.....

 

Swearing. ......the idiots vocabulary..

 

Swearing in a Welsh accent. Double crap.

 

Oddly, it isn't an automatically bad card. You could score a load of rounds for Rakhimov if you preferred his pressure over Cordina's crisp counters.

Tony Sims. Sounds like a guy selling dodgy phones..

 

No. Our Eddie says no rematch. No need.

Of course Eddie.

 

Go on Joe. Swear some more.

I wonder if 'Tony Sims" also does a line in Rolex watches......

 

I don't think cementing oneself in "Welsh boxing history" requires a lot of mixing.

 

excellent fight. and diamante is a great guy

 

I SAID THE TIME! HAS ! COME!!

jesus

 

all of the announcers sound silly with their gimmicks. diamante actually knows quite a bit about boxing and is a good guy.

 

Pretty much agreed. I'm just old fashioned..

 

This was a good fight. But moreso, I thought it was a brilliant performance by Cordina. Didnt agree with the close scores at all. I thought Cordina controlled the fight and landed the cleaner shots. How the fuck does a judge score it 116-111 for Rac? And Bellew's scorecard was just idiotic.

 

It certainly is in my opinion, especially considering the knockdown - that's 9 rounds for Rak....no fucking way.

 

Bellew

 

I absolutely agree with your reading of the fight. I thought Cordina fought beautifully off the backfoot and landed the harder, sharper, more hurtful punches throughout. I had him well ahead before I stopped scoring around round ten.

As I said in this thread, though, it was also obviously to me that others were likely to be scoring the less effective but eye-catching pressure from Rakhimov. Bellew, an idiot, certainly was. The close cards reflected that.

MTF

 

I thought the card completely at odds with my scoring of the fight but I absolutely understand how someone could come to it. It isn't uncommon - pressure fighters often accumulate rounds.
