Joe Cordina vs Kenechi Ogawa

In this IBF Lightweight Title Clash, Welsh boxer Joe Cordina meets Japanese fighter Kenechi Ogawa. Cordina was a Team GB Athlete at Rio 2016, and has long been touted as a top prospect. He jumps up in levels here against Kenechi Ogawa, a rough and ready Japanese scrapper. This fight is live on DAZN.
Cordina is a classy operator, has quick hands and great technical boxing ability. He passes the eye test but has yet to really kick on since his debut until this fight. The question here is whether he is truly a World level fighter, and we will find out in this ight against Ogawa who has competed at this level. Cordina should get the job done here, Ogawa was gifted a decision against Tevin Farmer, an average super featherweight. Despite looking good last time out against an opponent he could overpower, he can be outboxed soundly against quality operators. Cordina hasn’t got massive power, but he should outbox Ogawa en route to a UD.
