Damn this is an insane fight! Rakhimov comes back from a hard KD and further punishment to land bombs on Cordina and batter his head all over the place!! Great fight, 20-17 Cordina

Damn!!! Great round ...

WOW. Cordina's SO good at picking a shot, I watched his eyes for a while in that round and the decision-making was just beautiful. Hurt to the body, and the KD punch reminded me of that Buatsi KO in the Olympics. Let's see if Cordina can finish this

Great first two rounds

I didn't think Cordina would go toe to toe this early though, hope he has the stamina for this

[BigZ44]

Cordina might believe in his power a little too much after putting Ogawa to sleep, if he doesn't finish Rakhimov early, he may regret this kind of fight

kd made cordina defensively irresponsible

[BigZ44]

30-26 Cordina, landed the flashier shots that rd but Rakhimov did a lot of good work. Cordina's footwork is amazing, but he doesn't really move his head much, which is why Rakhimov is still finding him. Still not sure this style of fight is good for Cordina if he can't get Rakhimov out soon

Class fight already , top action

Yeah, I think the third round was a better approach, picked his shots more sensibly
