[skanksta]

Viva la Croc !

Great stuff - brutal entertainment.
Laughing when Mac lands, raking nasty punches.

[margaret thatcher]

someone comb that stray hair on mick

[jwfg]

McKenna starting to blow

[margaret thatcher]

mckenna a tough guy but basically a spirited punch bag atm

[jwfg]

McKenna can't win the fight like this.

[margaret thatcher]

lol, fooling around like they are bros there

[skanksta]

Ya, he's tough enough and daft enough to GTD, but I don't really wanna see it..

[NazNaci1]

McKenna is proving durable but Crocker's power is overrated. Loading up way too much but winning comfortably.

[handsofstone]

McKenna is a double hard bastard

[margaret thatcher]

final round coming next, ty's offense at this stage is smiling and shaking his head. should be a shutout for croc

[margaret thatcher]

croc batters ty, but ty makes the distance. tough tough guy.

[skanksta]

I think they shoulda pulled him personally.

Incredible toughness and heart, but for what..?

[margaret thatcher]

he's not really a ko artist anyway. usually boxes and moves and counterpunches, with heavy hands that will hurt guys on the counter, but not blast em out power . in this case though mckenna was so stationary he just decide to dig in

[NazNaci1]

Decent domestic level but not much more than that, tbh.

Commentators are trying to make Crocker sound like the second coming of Nigel Benn....

[margaret thatcher]

crock is euro level minimum. domestic level is like louis greene, who crock easily outclassed and stopped. crocker is very athletic and can win at higher levels than this

Fair enough and I understand about being marketable but trying hard for the KO, inevitably to KO never comes.

[margaret thatcher]

i mean mckenna was just standing there taking a beating. croc was easily winning every round. wasnt really a fight that called for much adjustment. mckenna is a tough guy tbf

[margaret thatcher]

i think a fighter that offers more offensively will give croc a chance to shine using more movement and counterpunching

[veriton]

imagine the fact it was a local derby affected crocker there and the way he boxed. he'll be smarter when there isnt so much emotion involved. impressive punching but needs a bit more polish

[jwfg]

I haven't got a bet on the main event, so the Vecchia Romagna is out.

ya i agree. loads of athletic ability. explosive fast hands, good reflexes, moves well. some power, albeit not a huge puncher. he's got a lot of tools now it's about putting them together most effectively. i think mckenna was just so stationary and easy to hit that he just decided to dig into him, and nothing happened to require him to change it up. but his best is when he's boxing and moving and landing hard counters

[jwfg]

Who ya picking in this one fellas?

Conlan stoppage for me.

[margaret thatcher]

gawd damn the british andre ward is massive

[margaret thatcher]

conlan for me too. they are similar in a lot of ways, but think conlan has a bit more life in him

[margaret thatcher]

is jordan banjo a dancer or just his bro? can you even dance when you're 8 feet tall 500 pounds?
