Definitely, it makes a lot of sense. That's been a matchup I think they've been looking at for a while, as you say. Eddie must've thought he might be able to make it next in the early stages of Barrett-Rakhimov, but alas it wasn't to be. Definitely will happen next if Cordina wins though you'd imagine. What % chance would you give Cordina in that matchup? Reckon it's a 65-35?

Yeah I favour Cordina, I think he’s definitely the better technician and the sharper boxer. It’s just whether he can keep Rakhimov off, cause as he showed vs Barrett he’ll keep coming. I reckon Cordina by UD.

I never really got world level vibes from Zelfa, he did impress me against Rakhimov though. Better than I’d seen him fight before. Cordina is good yeah, quite keen on watching him again.
Tonight’s card should be good, thought about sticking something on Wood between 7-12 at 13/2. I just don’t think Lara wins unless he gets him out early. I know he battered Warrington into the later rounds, so his power carries, but in a fight like this his conditioning is a question mark.Comment

I’ve got a feeling Wood wins myself, it’s more of an instinct based prediction but the fact they chose to take this fight convinces me they see something in Lara they can exploit.

I’ve just backed him to win at 9/4, waiting on it in a treble with Chelli also 9/4 and Foster points 3/1 from last weekend.Comment

Yea agree. I forgot Frank's card was last night and not tonight so I didn't end up sticking the quadruple I was lining up for the weekend on. Good thing too, as I would've had Chamberlain on points at 12/5 and I saw he got the stoppage.

You didn’t miss much mate, decent performances from both Chamberlain and Adeleye.Comment

Boxxer doing a Paris show March 11th. Assuming it’ll be the Yoka-Takam fight headlining. Not really sure how Boxxer benefit from entering the French market tbh. Strange move.Comment

That is a little bit odd. I could understand them showing Goulamirian's next fight if they want to build up an Okolie unification or a title shot for one of their other cruisers but not sure what Yoke-Takam does.Comment

Same here, it’s yet another strange move from Boxxer, Azeez-Faure been added to the undercard.Comment
