I can see both sides. He did two punches after the bell. However maybe they could had taken one point instead of DQ him. Idk man. Ref should had been there to stop it at the bell. Bad situation all around.

Does BoxingScene has stock on Donovan? There are like 5 or 6 items on this.

Boxers ARE GIVEN a 10 second warning for A REASON. He gave a hard clean punch after the bell. It's "his" fault for not paying attention.

"the worst part of it all is, he could see Paddy was going for the finish. If he could hear the bell, why didn’t he stop the fight. ‘****, ding, stop boxing.’ He was a million miles away. He was admiring Paddy’s work or whatever he was doing, because he messed up."

This is a flimsy leg despite the fact that the ref was indeed not all up in between the fighters as the bell rang, because all 3 of those guys heard & reacted to that bell.

Watch the way Donovan turns away after the final right hand, he knows it's the end of the round, they all do.

I don't know why people are mad. Yes Crocker was getting beat badly but after the 3rd penalty I think it was fair. It doesn't matter how much a person is up if they keep fouling. That 2nd punch after the bell was damaging. It wouldn't be fair to make someone fight after a foul like that

I mean, does everybody here feel like the point deductions were valid? Why can Crocker glove up with this head forward the whole time, but when Donovan bring his head forward, he loses points?

Crocker lost since round with that high guard, while Donovan stuck and move. Even when he couldnt punch through the giard well, he threw quick soft punches for points.

The way I see it, Crocker did a weak move. Guy had no answers and capitalized on a late punch to get the heck out of there.

Punches were after the bell. Way after. Donovan had the fight and threw it away. Crocker would have absolutely crumbled in the next round. He'll be lucky if they order a rematch. Crocker won't fight him again.

Referee was a disgrace and Crocker is a coward who.was looking for a way out. Andy Lee sae it like the rest of us. Crocker was leading with his head all night long. How many times do we see a referee come between fighters at a rounds' end? It happens all the time but McDonnell was nowhere near where he should have been. Crocker is a bigger coward than Ben Whittaker and that is saying something.
