19 hours agoPaddy Donovan beaten by controversial split decision in all-Irish IBF World Welterweight title showdown in Belfast
Limerick southpaw crestfallen after defeat at sold-out Windsor Park The 26-year-old Limerick southpaw seemed to have out-fought and out-thought the previously unbeaten Crocker as the fight went the distance at the Belfast football stadium. But, much to Donovan's surprise, Crocker got the decision. Donovan started on the back foot almost from the start and suffered two knockdowns inside the opening five rounds with Crocker also slightly ahead on the judges' cards.
