    We kept hearing from Billy Nelson that he has huge power and he doesn't even need the power because he's such a good boxer. He couldn't even put away the ghost of Tyrone McKenna who, let's be honest, was never that good on his best day.

    He was getting soundly outboxed by Donovan. Crocker walking forward with a high guard and swinging inaccurate haymakers every so often, barely any landing, that's how good of a boxer he is. On top of that, when he did land flush, Donovan barely blinked.

    Played up to everyone several times and knew what he was doing, in my opinion. Billy Nelson flying into the ring celebrating after Donovan was disqualified. FFS. Then Crocker with his arms aloft celebrating after the result is read. Absolute joke, zero integrity that I could see.


    Should be an immediate rematch but doubt that'll happen.

    A big part of Crocker looking **** is that Paddy Donovan is really good.

    But yeah Crocker is just a domestic level fighter, Conah Walker deserved the win over him.

    Crocker is heavy handed, but Billy Nelson is one of the most delusional men in all of boxing:lol: He always goes way over the top, like he has done with Bakole for years.

    Billy Nelson "Lewis is much more than a big puncher. But his power is massive'' "He is in the top three heaviest punchers in the world at welterweight'' ''Lewis Crocker, I can assure you, is a ferocious puncher''

    "And pound for pound he is by far the hardest puncher I have ever had." . “I think Paddy’s a wee bit delusional, that he thinks he can punch anywhere near as hard as Lewis Crocker. ''Paddy is gonna be shocked at Lewis' skillset on saturday night''

    Spot on. The way Crocker and Nelson were celebrating blew my mind, how ****ing deluded. They both knew they lost that fight and the whole ending was a farce. I see you going at Billy and I don't blame you to be honest. Billy talks a big game but the reality is always completely different. Its crazy because in just a week I've lost respect for him.

    The celebrating left a strange taste in my mouth. His man got battered from pillar to post.

    Within about a week I've lost a lot of respect for Billy Nelson because first of all the Bakole farce. Then I was shown posts he made to members of the board insulting them and generally being a ***** just for having an opinion. Now this. I remember many moons ago defending Nelson when he was coaching Ricky Burns, when people said to he should leave him etc. I'll admit when I'm wrong and I was definitely wrong. As mentioned in another post alarm bells started ringing with the Fury sycophancy. It seemed then to me that Nelson is happy to spout shite if it gives him the chance to earn more money.

    Billy Nelson's history shows he struggles with fighters named Lewis.

    Grossly overrated.

    Jesus that vote is a bit one sided. One vote for hylo. Be his manager. Hylo is a nice lad but is really up against it here. It's not as if he's up against a prospect if anything he's the prospect and ritson is tried and tested. I can't help but think the way ritson has came threw is the correct way. Also billy Nelson has had alot of input and as disgusting he is for putting chips in ice cream he's a very good trainer hahaha

    That is the final straw for me.

    Won’t be long now until Nelson claims Crocker dropped Crawford and Boots in sparring.

    Crocker is just a tough plodder/scrapper. If they fight again and Donovan decides to put on the gas he should stop him.
