Fight night on the zone brought to you by that prize guy. Okay guys, spoke to you both in the dressing room. You both know what I expect. Keep it clean. Break straight away when told. And both of you watch your heads in close. Good luck to you both. Touch gloves. Lewis Crocker and Patty Donovan do it all over again on the biggest stage with a world title now on the line and a pride of a nation. And straight away you can see Luis Crawford Crocker shaping up completely differently. He’s got his lead hand out making Patty Donovan think about this coming in already before. Just don’t think he expected this at all. Patty Donovan. Lovely shot counter and down he goes. Donovan and he has been flawed for the first time in his broke career. And that is a big shock in the third round. Crooker with a fast countering punch. Patty stepped into that no man’s land and he was off balance cuz his feet were so split that all it took was a coffin left hook and he ended up on the floor. And you two mentioned that that no man’s land between them. who was going to fall in first and Donovan made the mistake. Yeah, by margins. There was no complaints either, was there, from Donovan. If you get caught and go down, you’re down. That’s a 108 rounder down in the first fight. Donovan down in the second. Get back on that jump quicker, please. Left hook counter. Down he goes. That was a good shot, wasn’t it? just use the momentum of Donovan coming forward to spin off with that left hook. Good to have that body. It’s easy to hand the body. And even though this style of fight isn’t always the most physically demanding, look at that. They both caught each other there in the fourth round. And Donovan comes with another left hand. And let’s see what happens when Crocker’s under pressure because he hasn’t been yet. Yeah, they both took those shots well. Both landed simultaneously. And this is about who the battle of whose mind is the sharpest, whose mind has got the biggest legs cuz this will be a mentally exhausting fight. And discipline. We’ve used that word a few times already. Who’s going to make a mistake? Donovan leans himself open. Crocker scores one. Back comes Donovan. A rice smile from Lewis Crocker. [Applause] It’s been a really good round this time. And his legs are very shaky. The bell could come in to save him here. And that’s what he’s been waiting for. That’s the shot he’s been waiting for. Well, Patty Donovan won the round hands down until that shot and he’s on the floor for the second time and that he was hurt much much worse than the first just switched off. It was a comfortable round for Patty Donovan. But that left from Crocker an absolute peach. Don’t worry about it. And has Patty Donovan recovered from that? to the six IBF welterweight championship of the world on the line. Two 108 rounds for the home Belfast favorite Lewis Crocker. [Applause] again. Crocker just timing it as Donovan comes in. [Applause] Lewis Crocker normally in great action fights, thunderous power and comes forward, but he’s changed it up tonight. So far so good for Crocker. constantly flowing with the shoulder with that lead hand, giving Patty something to come around and nothing to commit to. Donovan’s won rounds though. A nice body shot. Let’s have a look at the cards. That’s Joe Cordina has it level at this stage. So too visi. If anything, I think for Oh, another it’ll be opening the distance a little bit more. So Donovan has to commit to get anywhere near the target. And when he’s committing, hit him as his feet are adjusting. If I was in Crocker’s corner, the swap punch is there. A reminder that Crocker possesses the springing power and Donovan’s got to be careful, but for the most he’s in a real rhythm now. You do feel he’s got to let his hands go proper. Lovely left hand from Patty Donovan. Oh, but there’s the right. There’s the danger from Crocker for one or two shots. And I tell you what, if there’s another knockdown, it’ll be very, very interesting. Yeah, look, you can see him now. Look, starting to try and creep forward. Crocker looks for the uppercut. Donovan for the first real time in the fight. backs off and has a look at tries to get out the way of that right hand. He felt the fire and he done everything to not fall in himself for that same mistake and he’s done very well adjusting mid fight I think and he’s finishing really strongly here. Exactly. Lewis Crocker adjusted from the first fight and was really good first half but Patty Donovan has adjusted within the fight. Crocker going for the big H Mary the right hand something to land skip in the footwork looking up right hand again Crocker you think he just got some clean shots and he can be finding the target easier Lewis Crocker unbeaten till now will that change in a few seconds time 10 to go Patty Donovan has turned the fight around and surely has done enough to become the IBF welterweight champion. Lewis Crocker and Patty Donovan giving the crowd another cracker.
