    Not thrilled with the stoppage, Ducar at that point had stopped punching back, and was looking shattered, looking at his corner. Still, maybe let Brown drop him again.

    Premature stoppage

    The positives

    Brown got a very tough customer out of there who has only been stopped x 1 before despite mixing in much higher company

    Dropped him x 3

    Chin looks solid

    Went rounds and even though he looked tired it's understandable given he's still only a baby, hasn't been rounds, and was in with a very tough guy who has given world champions and world level guys tough fights

    The negatives

    His lack of defence is a concern and he leaves himself too open when he throws certain shots

    For what it's worth, the only time Ducar has been stopped, was by Mike Perez. Who finally after wailing on him for 10 rounds, dropped in. Then his corner pulled him out. So Pat dropped him thrice and got him out of there 2 rounds earlier.

    Looks like they will try and set up Pat Vs John Hedges next, possibly for British champ. Hedges looked massive in there, must be a legit 6'5" or 6'6".

    Ducar is a really tough opponent for your 6th fight, especially vs someone who hasn't been rounds and getting him out of there is impressive period, let alone in your 6th fight. Stick him in with any other CW prospect and how many are dropping him x 3 and stopping him?

    I just finished the Crolla fight... my jaw dropped. Fight could have easily been stopped several times, especially in Britain, but boxing gods had something else in mind.

    We had the ref for Thompson vs Spilmont allow Spilmont to tee off on a very badly hurt Thompson for the best part of a round on the undercard with Thompson barely throwing back at all and not at all for large spells

    The ref for Crolla vs Byrne on the undercard allow the fight to continue after a very badly hurt Crolla had been dropped heavy x 3 in one round

    And then in the main event the ref for Brown vs Ducar waved the fight off after Ducar who to be fair had been dropped twice earlier in the fight and taken a pounding wave the fight off when Brown dropped Ducar a third time despite the fact he was nowhere near as hurt as Thompson and Crolla had been

    In each instance the B side or B side/foreigner was harshly done by

    As said, Ducar had taken a pounding and was going to continue taking one and was likely going to get stopped but the flip side of that is Brown had never been past 4 rounds prior to that fight and did look tired albeit not so much that it looked like he was in an danger of losing

    But there's no way in hell the ref doesn't stop Thompson vs Spilmont in that round if the roles were reversed

    And I think the ref waves off Crolla vs Byrne in that round if the roles were reversed

    Just watched this and I don’t think it’s a bad stoppage those hooks was eating will take years off him. There was no point in him getting badly hurt, I think it was a testament to the power of Pat, those shots looked hellacious from here so imagine what they would look like up close. The kid is special and he is down to earth as well, he is my new dog in the game
