Solid addition to the undercard. I make Cordina a strong favourite though.

Cordina needs to step up and seek fights with top tier guys. Fringe contenders are getting boring.

Who else is going to be fighting then? Thought Zhang would be but looks like he's out in March instead.

Cordina acted like he was too good for Foster then did this

I make 'Ford' a strong favourite because Cacace has done nothing to justify this shot. In the last 3 years he has fought twice for the, highly dubious, IBO title. I don't want to bang on, but surely there are more deserving challengers than Cacace?

Damn Cordina needed a soft touch because he's not ready to give up his belt to all the champions who would beat him. Without Sims special supplements the power in his right hand and his work rate magically disappeared.

Garbage fight - I hope the whole undercard isn’t this bad

Good point. I think the last two fights - which Cordina has had to fight like (heck) to win - have given him a reality check on his actual level. He’s not an elite fighter, so he’s got to milk those “I’ve got a title belt” level fight purses for as long as he can.

The Apache's not too bad really & given the quick turn around after the Vazquez fight you gotta give Joe a bit of respect. I just hope we get the Navarrete or Foster unification & not Leigh Wood this Summer if Joe bests Anthony.
