A weekend of boxing that had little bearing on ESPN’s divisional rankings still yielded one must-see fight.
Junior middleweights Abass Baraou (17-1, 9 KOs) and Yoenis Tellez (10-1, 7 KOs) delivered a barnburner in the co-main event of Most Valuable Promotions’ inaugural MVP Fight Night in Orlando.
Baraou and Tellez engaged in a close, but entertaining bout with each having their moments. Tellez, best known for a one-sided throttling of Julian Williams in March, countered the relentless pressure of Baraou with precise counterpunching. However, Baraou wouldn’t be denied, and his high-volume assault finally broke Tellez down in the 12th round, sending the Cuban to the canvas with seconds left in the fight to put an exclamation point on an exceptional performance.
The main event was an ugly fight that ended in a head-scratcher, with Yankiel Rivera (7-0-1, 3 KOs) and Angelino Cordova (19-0-2, 12 KOs) ending in a controversial majority draw despite Cordova’s being knocked down and docked a point. Rivera looked to be ahead after knocking the reckless Cordova down in Round 4 and after Cordova was docked a point for repeated shots to the back of the head in Round 6. However, none of the three judges scored it for Rivera with two seeing it 113-113 and a third surprisingly scoring it for Cordova at 115-111.
ESPN’s divisional boxing rankings highlight the best in the sport in every weight class. Rankings will change based on recent results and performances. Fighters who have announced they are moving to a different weight class will be ranked in that new division, if warranted, only once they fight in that weight class. Fighters who currently own titles in two divisions can be ranked in both.
Fighters who haven’t competed in the past 12 months — and don’t have a fight scheduled — will be dropped from the rankings until they fight again. Any fighter who tests positive for a performance-enhancing substance will also be removed. That boxer will be eligible to reenter the rankings after his next bout.
