| Fighting Nordin lost WBA International Super Middleweight Title nederlandse versie |
A couple of thousand people saw yesterday night how Fighting Nordin lost his WBA International Super middleweight Title to Francisco Mora. Mora won on a KO on 12 rounds. Knowing how Nordin fights it is almost unbelievable and one could wonder what went wrong for Nordin. For the audience it was completely unexpected as Nordin wasn't his usual self and certainly did not fight as we all are used to see from him. But that doesn't take away the believe in this true champ who they came to see. As soon as the fight started it was clear to Nordin that he didn't have his usual strength, but never the less he kept on going like a true fighter. He went down but got up and kept on fighting. Both fighters could now and then hardly stand on their feet from exhaustion and although it seemed for a while that Nordin could hold on to his title there was a final offense from Mora in the last round. Nordin went straight into the ropes but pulled himself together and after 8 counts the fight continued. Mora saw his chance to lash out really hard and that was the end for Nordin. A while ago Nordin told us that losing this WBA International Title would be his sign to take his career in another direction, so we are very happy that he changed his mind about that and decided yesterday to take revenge on Mora. Nordin's manager Edda Ruhling spoke with the WBA International about a revenge as it is obvious that Nordin deserves another chance to show that he is able to defeat Mora and apparently that's also the way WBA International sees it as they promised this revenge to Nordin's manager Edda Ruhling. Knowing Nordin we all know that he will be back. Strong as ever. Let's see if this defeat at least brings what Nordin has been waiting for for a long time now: a fight against the Dutch Raymond Joval who now might consider now getting in the ring with Nordin. At least Joval knows now that even Nordin can have a bad day! |

| Fighting Nordin verliest WBA International Super Middleweight Title |
| Enkele duizende
toeschouwers zagen gisteravond hoe Nordin zijn WBA Super Middleweight Title
verloor aan Francisco Mora. Mora won met een KO op 12 rondes. Wetende hoe
Nordin bokst is het bijna ongelovelijk dat dit kon gebeuren, je kan je
afvragen wat er in hemelsnaam verkeerd ging. Ook voor het publiek kwam
Nordin's verlies geheel onverwachts. Het leek alsof Nordin zichzelf
niet was, niet bokste zoals we van hem gewend zijn, maar voor het publiek is
Nordin nog altijd the Champ waarvoor ze gekomen zijn.
Zodra the match begonnen was wist Nordin al dat hij niet de kracht had
waarmee hij anders altijd zijn tegenstander kan overwinnen, maar hij heeft
wel geknokt als een ware bokser en liet zich niet kennen. Een tijdje geleden vertelde Nordin dat het
verliezen van zijn WBA Titel voor hem betekende dat hij zijn carriere in een
andere richting op zou laten gaan. We zijn dan ook blij verheugd dat Nordin
gisteren van gedachten is veranderd en toch de ring in zal gaan om zijn
Titel van Mora terug te pakken. Wie Nordin kent weet dat hij wel weer terug komt. Sterk als altijd. Laten we zien of dit verlies Nordin brengt waar hij al heel lang op wacht: in de ring staan tegenover Raymond Joval. Nordin:" Nu weet Joval dat ik ook wel eens een slechte dag heb, misschien durft ie nu wel de ring in". |
