Comments Thread For: Joe Cordina Knocks Out Kenicho Ogawa With Huge Right in Second, Captures IBF Title

[kiaba360]

Yeah, it's the quick hands and snap that has caught those two guys off guard. Guys like Kourbanov and Khachatryan, who kinda box on the back foot and roll with the blows didn't get hurt, but these come forward guys can walk onto those crisp shots from Cordina. Makes for good fights stylistically with him. Think Cordina/Zelfa could really catch fire as well

Crazy thing is, Ogawa didn't increase the damage by walking onto the punch. He got frozen for a millisecond by a feint and Cordina followed with a whip of a right hand. He said that he was practicing that in camp, and the speed in which he threw the right meant he was confident that Ogawa would react to the feint.

I've heard Benn and Buatsi sing Cordina's praises, but I wasn't completely sold on him. However, he showed up sharp and landed the biggest punch on the biggest stage of his career.

That was a great punch, picture perfect. Wow!!

I hold Ogawa pretty high - he's been underrated his whole career IMO, so I rate definitely this KO.

Keep an eye out for Cordina. Good stuff.

Does Cordina have any chance against Stevenson?

I was looking forward to your gif upload, it's such a great knockout. Cordina was tense, then relaxed his stance for a second, which gave Ogawa a false sense of security. Cordina knew he was in punching range, and when he saw Ogawa relax, he feints to the body and lands a scorpion sting of a right hand. If you blink, you miss it.

I appreciate your explanation behind the mechanics and strategy for this awesome KOTY contender, I will be following this Cordina -- I never seen him before. Thank you.
