A moment of madness

It was a strange call. I mean, there had been no previous cases of the warnings, 26, for hitting after the bell. Therefore, it is strange that the referee McDonnel made him out of there after polishing Crocker. The official stop time was at 3:00 pm in Round Eight.

As far as I know, Crocker approached to win any of the rounds. It was only the number 6 donovan having a field day, beat the royal filling of “The Croc”, making a left eye and enjoying completely in this unilateral contest. Crocker’s two eyes were cut off and was demolished in the eighth.

The referee McDonnell was pursuing Donovan before the DQ, penalizing him for the use of the head in six and eight rounds. It seemed to me that Crocker also advanced like a goat of Billy. Therefore, I do not know why Donovan was docked by the points on the left and the right.

It is clear that there is a resale between Crocker and Donovan so they can prove who really deserves to fight for the 147 LB IBF title. Heavy weight division is so weak right now that this is the type of contestants who are fighting in the title eliminators. If there is a resuscitation, the winner will be forced by Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis, Welterweight Ibf champion.
