Didn't see the fight but according to twitter Donovan won the fight, even Crocker supporters saying so.

Crocker won the two rounds he got knockdowns in and I was generous in giving him one more. Shocking decision

Was Jackie Mc Donald judging ?

[bennydorano]

The co-commentator on DAZN (not sure who it was) was pretty shrewd, he said more than once that Donovan is tippy tappying his way thru the rounds, Crocker is connecting with the power shots and the judges might reward that.

Even with the 2 knock-downs the tv judges at ringside all had Donovan well ahead, shocking decision

But tippy tappy is better than throwing nothing at all. Donovan won that fight.

I can't remember a single punch that Donovan landed. The five biggest punches at least were from Crocker I felt. Crocker may not have thrown many punches but Donovan just didn't seem to land anything. I had Crocker by 2

Thought Donovan won but he didn't fight like a 1/7 shot

They had it close on the radio so not sure the disparity with ringside tv and 5live judges.

Canelo bate

Canelo bate

Well beat. Canelo on top in maybe 2 rounds. Crawford could have been much more cautious in the last few rounds, but had the confidence to keep taking the fight to Canelo. Some performance

[David McKeown]

Very impressed with Crawford. Canello had no answers.

Ricky Hatton dead! Shocking

Donovan won it for me too.  I can see the argument for the more powerful shots from Crocker, but that's not boxing.  Scoring punches are scoring punches, and the power of them doesnt matter. Donovan was landing punches for fun.  Particularly the jab.

Crocker will be delighted to be world champion, but that has got to be slightly tainted as the numbers of people who actually think he won must be quite small.

The Agyarko fight was brilliant. 2 lads who really went at it.

Have to be a rematch surely? At the end of the day if you get dropped twice you can't really complain if you lose, but there was a feel of home town decision off it.

Steve Bunce went against the grain in his view on the fight. He's generally a very good commentator on the fights tbf.

Home town decision? I thought Belfast was part of Ireland?
