Lewis Crocker v Liam Paro

7-5 Paro for me.

Last three rounds made it closer than it actually was, and Weeks did Liam a huge favour in those last two.

Judges likely have it wider.

 

Croc done on cards

 

Probably deserved that after ditching Billy Nelson.

 

Crazy to think one swing round and he retains his belt and changes his life.

Home turf, Howard Foster and a bit of home cooking, who knows. Hearn only lost the purse bids by 20k as well.

Long road back for Crocker after that, unless Paddy picks up the belt.

 

He is more interested in the hotel room lay tonight and cannot blame him.

 

Yeah, maybe they make the Kelly fight now too, and I think Paddy v Paro is pretty much 50-50, so if Donovan wins there’s always a way back.

But 154 just seems full of monsters, whereas 147 now feels more like lads moving up rather than the weight bullies it once was.

 

I thought those were hometown cards and it was certainly hometown commentary (embarrassing).

Had Crocker by a couple of rounds after the finish he had.

Was unconvincing but still clear in my opinion.

Crocker landed more, was more efficient and the big shots were all from him.

Had the feeling he had already been massively failed by Eddie though the moment it was lost penny pinching on purse bids. A stadium sellout hometown world champion forced to go away to the other side of the world for his first defence to defend it against not even a big name!
Have some respect for yourself and bin him Lewis.

Should have been him instead of Billy Nelson who got ditched

 

They're all being paid by Zuffa to make space for Benn coming back down.

Kidding, but stupider things have happened in boxing lately

 

Great to see Beale back. A legend of this forum.

 

Can’t remember the last time I saw someone so frantically and desperately looking for a last round KO like Crocker was today. Think he knew he hadn’t done enough and probably left too much in the tank.

 

Thank you mate.
