Round-by-Round: Shavkatdzhon Rakhimov vs. Joe Cordina | DAZN - 22 April 2023

Could we get a TKO with that eye?
Cordina has been honing in on it nicely

Only two rounds left now so they’ll let it go I think.

I don't think the judges are going to agree with Bellew's scorecard. He has it even after 9, the judges will have it lopsided for Cordina.

Bellew has it even? Whoa!

Yep. He even gave Rakhimov 8 and 9

good round there for rak

[margaret thatcher]

i have it close, a lot are just focusing in on cordina's work. he was seriously hurt to the body in the 6th and people said good round cordina

[Kilburn]

Depending on how these last two rounds go, Cordina may pay for engaging too much early.

He just needs nip those lovely right hands in a few times and he's over the line.

[smiling assassin]

Haven’t scored it round by round but see it as very close

[skanksta]

How are we scoring this?
I have Joe up by 3 now

I've got TWW clearly. 8-3 plus a KD.
Rakh fighting hard, but not winning many rounds.

I think it is close and most of the rounds have been close. Although some have shown some nice work, moreso Cordina, most of the exchanges have been fairly ugly with both taking shots. Most rounds could be scored either way. I'm not scoring myself as my stream is jumping a bit too much.

[ashall2]

I’m pissed up but this is close but they’ll give it Cordina UD.

It is closing up though!
Bloody edge of the seat stuff

[joshj909]

Betting odds currently have Cordina 1/6 to win which is pretty wide at this stage.

[ashall2]

Rakhimov won this by a point for me: 114-113

What a sell out twat Costello is.

And Darren Barker is a Matchroom kiss arse.

[Kilburn]

I think Cordina took those last two rounds, and probably needed to.

What a great battle.

[margaret thatcher]

great fight.......cordina should edge it

[joshj909]

Bellew would have had Rakhimov winning by a round if he gave him the 12th. Not seen him do that against the home fighter in a close fight.

[KiwiRider]

Whoooo!!!!
I think he did just enough

[ashall2]

Bellew would have had Rakhimov winning by a round if he gave him the 12th. Not seen him do that against the home fighter in a close fight.

If Bellew has a Matchroom fighter drawing they’ve lost.

[skanksta]

Shere Khan was in every round and won 3, but TWW was class throughout.

The accuracy, the facial damage and the KD must surely win it for him....

117-110 for me, I get that a lot see it closer.

[Coco]

I got the Russian ahead by a round

Hopefully being at home will edge it for Cordina

[KiwiRider]

Can't believe they kept that pace up all fight.
Loved that battle, Rakh is bloody determined and fought like a real champ.

[joshj909]

Rakhimov probably couldn't see much out of his eye for the majority of the fight. He probably could've won comfortably if he avoided the swelling early.

[skanksta]

Rakh looking like he needs Oxygen, hope he's ok...

[skanksta]

116-111 RAKH !!?? WTF ?!
