The incompetence shown in the Paddy Donovan disqualification in the Lewis Crocker fight at the weekend was truly garbage.
How the referee stopped the fight in favor of Crocker essentially robbing Donovan temporarily of his career momentum, was atrocious.
Refs have a tough job and are the last people that deserve criticism but the weekend’s decision was a big mistake.
A rematch must be made.
The late punches that the referee said were illegal have been disputed by fans of boxing the world over since.
A brawl in the crowd followed the event and likely there won’t be any rematch according to trainer sentiment post fight.
Donovan’s stock will have gone up however in the fight and will come out of that bigger and better than ever.
A controversial weekend in the sport between that and the Gervonta Davis vs Lamont Roach draw.
