Prelims

[skanksta]

Horrid start for Chev Clarke.
Got stunned, cam thru it and got a decent stoppage, but he won’t enjoy that.
Hope Holloway is ok- he just “went” in a bad way.

[Evander]

Wow, that was a spectacular performance by Ernesto Mercado

[gilgamesh]

Really was. He looks real sharp.

[gregregegg]

This could heat into a decent scrap.

[Evander]

117-110
115-112
114-113 ... bit sketchy
All for Cordina

Cordina won clean and wide on my card, he was accurate in punch and well conditioned physically.
I think this was a fight too early for Flores to take, number wise it probably made sense, but its clear he never had enough going in and lacked that gear to get past a skilled boxer such as Cordina.
Good fight though, got a bit sketchy with the behind the head shots from Cordina, but they cleaned it up.
Flores landed the odd flash punch to make you think he could turn it around, but it wasn't to be.
Overall a fairly entertaining fight

[gregregegg]

Cordina was just too strong in there. I had it 10-2 ish.

[gregregegg]

They look at least 3 weight divisions apart…

[gregregegg]

This is terrible.. but noones fault just size and styles not geling.

[handsofstone]

116-111 Pacheco but a pretty awful watch, styles just didn't gel which was a shame but Pacheco showed dawg, had to just bite down on the gumshield and grit it out, Sadjo made it rough and tough, came in low, got inside didn't allow Pacheco to dominate him at range which tbf he didn't try to, seemed as if Pacheco was intent not to get bullied, it made for a poor watch, it was messy but Pacheco was getting through with enough clean punches to edge most rounds, some nice body work, Sadjo dropped him in the 8th with a left hook, didn't hurt Pacheco but could've swung the tide, credit to Pacheco though he didn't get flustered and just dug deeper if anything, think he hurt Sadjo in the 11th was opening him up which was impressive as Sadjo is nails, looked impossible to budge, not a great watch but a great win, Pacheco will have easier nights against better guys probably, all 3 scores were perfectly acceptable

Outstanding observations. I've read some criticisms of Pacheco's performance, but those critics failed to give Sadjo credit for not letting Pacheco have his way. The Frenchman didn't show up to just be a punching bag, he came with a plan to win the fight and tried to execute it. As you noted, the fight wasn't pretty, but I'm fairly certain Pacheco will take an ugly win over a pretty loss.

[Evander]

It was a better fight than I'd imagined it would be going in.
Sadjo managed to stay on the inside for a great deal of it and put pressure on Pacheco throughout, even managing to floor him in the 8th.
Pacheco had a hard time shaking him off, but they fought tough on the inside with varying degrees of success from either.
Pacheco lit Sadjo up in the 11th during a three round period toward the end of the fight that may have saved it on the cards for him, but he was put through his paces by a very eager and hungry opponent.
This was a lot closer than the scorecards suggest if you ask me, and while Pacheco got the nod, Sadjo's performance and effort would have turned a few heads.
