Can't believe Felix got up again after that. It was right in frnt of us. Caught him with a cracking flush shot. Will need to watch it back. Serious punch but I'd have let Felix continue after.
Don't know about the stoppage, not the worst, Felix was clearly hurt and late getting up, didn't look right then seemed to switch on as soon as it got waved off, he had his success, he troubled Crocker when he moved and threw combinations up close, tapping to the head then banging to the body, Crocker took a bit of time to get going and land that left hook, the knockdown in the 4th turned it, folded Felix like an accordion with a left downstairs, still amazed he got up, he was withering on the canvas then sprang up at the last second , incredible toughness, Crocker though landed that monster sweeping left to end in the following round, missed first then got him second time, Felix down heavy through the ropes, maybe he could've continued but not the worst of the card
Two dodgy stoppages tonight, coincidentally in Donovan and Crockers fights. Matchroom want those two to fight each other.
Felix was never gonna win, but I reckon the young Argie could have stuck around and made Donovan work for those last 4 rounds which would have been interesting.
Both UK refs, same old story. Bring in some Belgiums, they let a fight go on, although poor old Enzo Mac might not agree

He recovered really well
I'd like to see him @ 135 if he can make it safely - can box, punch and has a chin...
Matchroom really pushing these Irish boys. Good to see.
I would say though that they make them out to be potential world beaters. Gary Cully was the second coming, demolishing low class opposition until Felix smashed him to pieces and then Reece Mould was robbed of a victory.
Donovan, highlight stoppages of area level guys, then struggles against some young farm hand from Argentina and needs the ref to make sure there was no upsets
Now Crocker, bullying a man smaller than a school child.
When they step up for real they get found out. No time these days to blood a pro against tough opposition. Walkover jobs twice a year, throw them in over their heads for a title shot, or against a half decent pro and they crumble

fair play to Dazn though, we've alll criticised them but they're carving a niche as a channel that will stop fights early and make sure we all hate them. Big up Dazn, losing billions and giving work to 7th rate judges. Show some respect.

Probably Conah Walker next.
An All-IREland superfight with Paddy Donovan after.

Who wins those...?
On the evidence tonight Walker beats them both. Isnt Walker a Brummie?
