Cordova ran the final round and it cost him. Scores were 113-113, 114-112, 114-112.
Great fight hopefully see a rematch near future two knock-down may a different for the winner Martinez
Martinez was too strong for Angelino that was the difference Martinez strength.
Martinez needs to change his style, he wont last to long
Hard to overcome two (2) knockdowns, but Cordova gave it a heck of a try. A close fight, but all that matters is Martinez is going home with his belt.
I thought Cordova should have gotten a draw at least, he took over the fight with his boxing skills. Martinez knocked him down but has terrible boxing skills and if Cordova would have worked the body a little more he could’ve put him away. Martinez got a hometown decision, boxing in Vegas sucks.!!
About time this shirker fought Sunny Edwards!
