BoxRec

A few month ago I watched a superb contest on ITV4 (on one of the Hennessy bills). It was between a veteran and a young prospect.

Judging by what the commentators were saying beforehand, I got the impression that they were expecting youth and power to prevail. Instead what unfolded was a grinding bout in which the older fella boxed extremely well and won the fight.

My memory is a sketchy instrument at the best of times and I can't even remember precisely how it ended. However I do recall that the winners surname was something like "Mudonna".

Does anyone here know what I'm talking about? If so, could you tell me a bit more about the two involved in the fight plz?

McDonagh - Purdy ?

The very pair! Thanks for the point of reference.

I'm gonna take a look at their records now.

It probably is mcdonagh but at the time he wasnt that much of an outsider and was winning the first few rds , I remember that was qite an entertaining bill
