I have to say I was quite frustrated watching Donovan against Crocker. Donovan was by far the superior boxer but in my opinion he was leading with his head a lot and Marcus McDonnell gave him several warnings. The shot after the bell at the end of the eighth is debatable. I'm sure it was loud in there, but Donovan didn't have to risk that punch. In the next round Crocker was on his way out. A bizarre ending to quite a bizarre weekend on boxing. As for Matias, I wish Valenzuela was pulled out sooner - he took an unnecessarily long beating.
Good thoughts as always. There was a lot going on in the Belfast ring, it was hard to keep up with. As for Matias, I think he was starting to get uncomfortable himself with how it was transpiring. Especially as he has been involved in the Dadashev fight in the past.
Yeah, in fairness, Matias was getting tagged a lot as well. I’m also starting to wonder if he’s really that big of a puncher. It’s more the volume of his shots rather than sheer concussive power.

It's a clubbing power that takes its toll. Agree with that.
