    McDonnell is fully to blame for all of this, had Donovan not had his second point deducted, he wouldn't have been in such a feeding frenzy probably blinded by rage trying to get it back.

    It was an excellent performance.....against a very limited domestic level fighter as Donavan said himself in the build up.

    Going from Crocker to Boots is crazy and Boots would annihilate both of these guys.

    Hard to think you won when sucking oxygen from a mask but people are wierd and capable of rationalising any outcome

    especially when you've got Billy Nelson blowing smoke up your arse telling you that you are a world class puncher with immense skills... I used to defend that guy back in the Ricky Burns days. **** that!

    Oh give it a rest. A local crowd of a small country (probably mostly full of casuals who won't really "get it") supporting their hometown boy whatever happens.

    Wouldn't do it myself because I know that no fighter or true boxing person wants to see a DQ.

    But try think about it a bit. Just people who back their own, not necessarily proper boxing people and probably don't have an opinion formed themselves about the deductions, just following what the ref is doing and believing that to be appropriate

    Sounds like you have some sort of strange agenda

    Whilst Donovan was totally dominating and was about to win the fight. I'm also unsure about the headbutts etc as Crocker seemed a bit guilty of leaning in all fight too..

    But why is everyone so against the decision? The rules are the rules tbf and the punch that finished him was clearly after the bell. It's the right call, however it might be that the fact is that Donovan was certainly going to finish him pretty soon.

    It's a shame that it happened that way and Donovan deserved better but he unfortunately made a very silly mistake and paid the harsh, but officially correct, price...

    Nothing turns me against a fighter quicker than when they rock up in pink

    I have no agenda whatsoever other than being opposed to disrespectful assholes. I've reacted similarly to childish provincialism and nationalism when it happens in the US, multiple times on here.

    Thing is Crocker was a ***** about it he jumped on the ground knowing full well what would happen. That **** happens every fight and fighters just walk back to the corner without moaning, little pitch was moaning to the ref all night. Love to see Paddy beat him up again but doubt it will happen.

    :lol: It should be an automatic DQ and if I was a ref I would physically attack any male boxer who rocked up in it for a fight I was working and I would do so savagely too

    Lewis Crocker is the best 147 pounder in Ireland. Deal with it :deal:

    Mark my words. Paddy Donovan will duck the rematch like Crocker has leprosy
