On April 6th, 2023, Angelino Cordova achieved a significant victory over Angel Acosta, although it was a debatable one.
Acosta, with a record of 23-4 and 22 knockouts, had a good start in the first three rounds but appeared to struggle after the fourth, which could have been attributed to a rabbit punch from Cordova.ย

Cordova had a point deducted for the infringement. It was clear that Acosta’s punching power was evident, but Cordova managed to evade his punches and counter which may have swayed the judges.ย
