Lewis Crocker and Paddy Donovan clash in an IBF Welterweight world title eliminator
Paddy Donovan has predicted that Lewis Crocker 's 'lights will go out' when the pair collide this weekend.
However, 'The Real Deal' is determined to show his prowess by turning the tables on 'puncher' Crocker with a decisive KO. "The Irish boxing scene has been starved for many years, especially down south," declared Donovan. "I'm the better boxer. More skilful, punches just as hard. I've 80% knockout ratio and he's 50%. Anyone that has shared the ring with me knows exactly how hard I punch. Maybe Lewis is underestimating my power, but he'll soon find out.
Donovan's gym mate Joseph Parker secured a stunning second-round knockout win over late stand-in Martin Bakole over the weekend on the huge Beterbiev vs. Bivol rematch in Saudi Arabia, and the 26-year-old southpaw is out to make it two big wins in a row for former WBO Middleweight World Champion Andy Lee on Saturday.
