We have what looks to be an all-action matchup on DAZN this weekend. IBF super featherweight champion Joe Cordina (16-0, 9 KOs) takes on the tough Edward Vazquez (15-1, 3 KOs) at Monaco Casino de Monte Carlo. This is a good matchup for Cordina, as he’s mentioned names like Jamel Herring and O’Shaquie Foster as possible opponents next year. Can Cordina raise his stock even more and match the energy Matchroom puts into him as a fighter?
This fight is going to come down to who wants it more. Vazquez is a come-forward fighter who tends to throw caution to the wind by lunging forward, but that type of pressure gets to his opponents. Cordina is more patient with his attack but matches what his opponent is giving him but isn’t reckless about it. Cordina will have the opportunity to time a counter shot that could end this fight while Vazquez will have to rely on his constant pressure as he did against Raymond Ford, but this time getting the decision in his favor.
🗣️ "Him saying you have to be special to beat him is just him being cocky and arrogant. I hope he’s sleeping on me because I’m going to rough him up, Mexican style! I am World Champion after Saturday night!" - Edward Vazquez 👀#CordinaVazquez pic.twitter.com/09onBEF1FV
