Joe Cordina..

Re: Joe Cordina..

my son boxes under Lee Selby, nobody struggled more than Lee when it came to cutting weight for fights, eventually he just couldn't do it and had to step up in weight, in doing so he had to contend with bigger punchers, Kambosos and Lemos were too much for him and shortly after he retired.

Cordina looks pretty close to his fighting weight naturally, i've seen him a few times 'in civvies' and he's very slight built.

going back to Lee, he's eyeing a potential return to the ring, but in bare knuckle, I guess the financial pull is very tempting, but money isn't everything and his legacy is secured, nothing to prove at all and so much to lose.

You're right about Selby, i was speaking to Chris Sanigar and he was saying that Selby would stop eating three days before a weigh in.

it's insane, at the weigh-in against Josh Warrington he looked emaciated, whereas Josh looked natural at the weight, the toll that must take on your body, your strength and even your mental acuity must be a huge disadvantage.

he told me once that he was laying on the bed in a hotel room the night before a weigh-in and was parched for a drink, said he felt like he was dying, he could see the bathroom tap from where he was laying but was too disciplined to take a drink.

that's the margins between success and failure I guess, I would've been two cans of 'bow down.

Yup, Selby knew that he couldn't win that fight, he should have moved up in weight before fighting Warrington,but the money was too good to turn it down. His Brother Andrew was some fighter, just ill disciplined to put it mildly.......
