    Donovan was 100 percent right. This incompetent ref STOLE his victory

    He started complaining about the headbutts after the point deduction, as he knew full well that it could save his ass.
    And it did.

    He did hit Crocker with a flagrant elbow and that was a late shot

    But the ref was terrible and both were to blame for the head clashes so it was unfair to blame it all on Donovan

    Immediate rematch. No one wants to see Crocker vs Super Boots and if Crocker doesn't take the immediate rematch it's a female dog move and a duck

    Ref screwed everything up

    Crocker has to take the rematch really, no other choice......he can't go into a fight with Boots after that, if ever....it'd be the end of his career.

    Marcus McDonnell outdid himself. His previous most terrible showing is when he gave Campbell Hatton the win over a Spanish bloke who had clearly won pretty much every round. This effort beats even that. Must have been given a particularly large brown envelope tonight.

    Weird, I'm looking forward to and really want to see a rematch which will be a completely onesided fight

    Boots would tear him up way worse than Paddy. That'd just be Crocker cashing out.

    You can't referee a fight from your sofa. Sometimes the fighters dont hear the bell. Sometimes in the exchanges there are already planned combos that are going to be fired with bell or without it because of muscular/training memory. That's it.

    It is the referee's duty to jump in when the bell rings. This punch is late, but it is not THAT late to dictate a DQ. Punches like that happens every saturday night and maybe more than once. The problem here is that cocker was looking forward to getting out and the referee was looking forward to robbing the fight. That's the truth. If anyone should be DQ'd here is the referee for not doing his job. You are a refere, you hear the tap-tap saying that there are 10 seconds left, you immediately go close to the figthers to jump in, period, that's your job.

    If Andre Ward had that ref he would be 0-32, rightly so, and I would absolutely love that

    But Crocker is a very lucky man and Donovan very unlucky to lose his zero tonight

    I hope Paddy Donovan takes this well and improves as a result. I don't want him to take it badly and turn off the sport, he is a genuinely good and entertaining boxer.
