Codrington KO'd, expected to make a full recovery

[Complex]

I dont see a lot of activity in this thread...Its one of my favorite sports, so I will be posting lots of info. Even the up and comers..

Jaidon was an up and coming prospect, but he was moved along too fast and showed his inexperience in this fight. He can come back..





Allan Green, it seems, was not selling mere wolf tickets with his pre-fight boasting.

Before his bout with unbeaten super middleweight prospect Jaidon Codrington, Green dismissed the fighter as a waste of his time.

Friday in their Showtime network showdown at the Buffalo Run Casino in Miami, Okla., Green backed up his words. He needed only 18 seconds to knock Codrington out cold and win the battle of former Golden Gloves champions.

Codrington (9-1), one of New York City's highly touted "Chin Checkers," fell through the ropes and remained unconcious for roughly three minutes before regaining consciousness.

According to a press release, Codrington was taken to Integris Baptist Regional Health Center in Miami where initial reports indicated that he had suffered a fractured sixth vertebrae. Doctors retracted that diagnosis, according to promoter Lou DiBella, and Codrington was released after neurological tests and CAT scans of the vertebrae came back negative. A full recovery is expected.

Green (18-0, 12 KOs) of Tulsa, Okla., demolished Codrington with a pair of right crosses and body shots. A Green left hook finished Codrington.

In the light middleweight main event, Sechew Powell won a unanimous decision over Archak Ter-Meliksetian. Brooklyn's Powell (18-0) won on scores of 100-90 and 97-93 twice. Ter-Meliksetian suffered just his second defeat in 17 pro outings.

Unfortunately, Jaidon shows his inexperience ... if he had more ringsmarts, he woulda tied his man up or taken a knee for an 8 count. He did what many young, warrior minded fighters do ... he tried to weather the storm without having the tools or chin to do so.

Thanx for the footage!

He looks like he was out on his feet from that first left hook.

I saw Jaidon's last fight and I thought he was the truth. My jaw dropped when I saw he got KO'd in 18 seconds.

I thought Jaidon had all the tools. He really put on a clinic in his last fight.

I know that footage is slowed down, but it looks like the ref could've jumped in there much sooner.
