That's a good win for Paddy Donovan that. The Argentine chap was game and looked dangerous but in the end Donovan was too quick and precise.

If Crocker can get the job done in the main event, it might set up a cracking scrap between the two at welterweight.

I like the look of Crocker. He can box and looks like he is a heavy puncher as well. Tough division but he has a chance of going pretty far.

I'd say that will be the end of Tommy McCarthy. He was unlucky that a few big fights for him fell through but like his mate Tyrone McKenna he was short of world level anyway.

Crocker looked tidy. Hard to know what he'd be like on the world stage.

Fury v Usyk off after Fury sustained a "cut" in training 

[Wildweasel74]

Fury the biggest buffer going in boxing, literally ducks and dives dangerous boxers.This fight was supposed to happen a year ago.

[ONeill]

Who do you think the dangerous fighters are he ducked and dived?

[nrico2006]

I've been a Fury fan since I first came across him and while his record is pretty light compared to AJs etc., there is no way he is ducking anybody, especially this close to a fight he was getting probably 50 million for.

If it had have been say a muscle injury and it was a few weeks ago I think you can make the accusation that he was ducking this one. But it did look pretty bad in the pictures. From the talk this morning it could be October time at the earliest before this fight happens.

However there is always a tweet that gets pulled from the archives

I take it that was the Haye Hrgovic incident.

Zhang is a big useful unit. Couldn't see Fury seeking him out

[bennydorano]

Parker's recovered well from the early knock down

[markl121]

Parker was doing well there until that second knockdown, Zhang has so much power

[Blowitupref]

Atmosphere not the best, more celebrities than ordinary Joe supporters in attendance?

[bennydorano]

Parker wins by majority decision after 2 knockdowns. Kudos to Joe 👏

Atmosphere is non existent! No larger louts

mostly just rich lads. This whole thing is just sports washing, they don't really care about boxing.
