Nope, he apparently lost 59-56 on points, in what has to be considered a huge upset. Anthony came in, in very good shape for once (getting down to Light-Heavyweight for the first time in his career) and it seemed to make a big difference. You have to worry for McDonagh, it seems his lack of punching power is a major issue, which a few of us probably suspected it could be, but not at this stage of his career. He's very young though, so plenty of time to make improvements. Correcting his punching technique probably being one, according to boxrec news he was warned for slapping by the ref. A bad loss at the present time but not the end of the World, as long as he improves from it.

Corley says he will stop McCloskey saturday night http://www.irish-boxing.com/2012/05/corley-ready-to-sink-show-boat-mccloskey-within-12/ Conlan isnt boxing on doc advice after injury. He said Hearn will get him a fight soon.
He was getting very tired and they did some tests. He was low on red blood cells or white or something. No replacement, they are already stuck for time!
I like all of those fights, okane-fitzer will be a war. Bad news for Rea to get the last fight, I dont know too much about o'Donnell, I cant remember ever seeing him.
