Crocker vs Donovan 2 – all results from September 13
Pat Brown vs Austine Nnamdi
It was the cruiserweights up next, with Pat Brown (3-0, 3 KOs) vs Austine Nnamdi (12-5, 10 KOs). It was a conservative start for both, with both having success towards the end of the round.
After a challenging opening round, Brown increased the tempo and landed a right hand, knocking Nnamdi down. The Manchester-born fighter then began to let his hands go and landed a vicious left hook, which left Nnamdi on unsteady legs. Brown followed up with two heavy shots before the referee jumped in to wave the fight off, much to the disappointment of Nnamdi, with Brown winning by second-round TKO.
Molly McCann vs Kate Radomska
First up on the Crocker vs Donovan 2 DAZN undercard was Molly McCann (1-0, 1 KO), making her professional boxing debut in the super bantamweight division against Kate Radomska (4-8, 0 KOs). It was a confident start from the former UFC star, who began on the front foot and landed some eye-catching shots near the end of the first round.
In the midst of a sustained attack, Radomska inexplicably kicked out at McCann, something the referee missed. McCann continued to box well and land heavy shots, with Radomska looking to survive. A clubbing right hand in the fifth round from the Liverpudlian saw her score a knockdown. After another sustained attack in the next round from the former UFC star, the corner from Radomska decided to throw the towel in. A great start for McCann, who won by sixth-round TKO.
Matthew Boreland vs Ruadhan Farrell
The final fight of the Crocker vs Donovan 2 prelims was Matthew Boreland (6-0, 2 KOs) vs Ruadhan Farrell (7-2-1, 2 KOs) for Farrell’s Irish super bantamweight title. It was an impressive start from Boreland, who landed a well-timed right hand and left hook, which seemed to unsettle Farrell during the first two rounds.
Farrell began to settle in the third and beat Boreland to the punch. In the sixth round, two massive left hooks from Boreland sent Farrell to the canvas. He beat the count and recovered brilliantly before Boreland landed a massive right hand and followed up with two more heavy shots, with the ropes only keeping Farrell up, who stumbled back to his corner after beating the count. Farrell was unable to recover, and his corner withdrew him from the fight at the end of round six, making Boreland the new Irish super bantamweight champion.
Donagh Keary vs Caine Singh
Next up on the Donovan vs Crocker 2 prelims was Donagh Keary (3-1, 0 KOs) vs Caine Singh (3-7-2, 0 KOs) in the super bantamweight division. Singh applied relentless pressure throughout the first three rounds, landing significant shots.
Keary boxed well in stages and clearly landed the better shots. The energy levels never dipped from Singh as he outworked Keary, especially in the final two rounds. The referee’s scorecard read 39-37 in favour of Singh, who gained the upset win.
Aaron Bowen vs Carlos Miguel Ronner
Aaron Bowen (7-0, 5 KOs) vs Carlos Miguel Ronner (7-6, 2 KOs) was next in the middleweight division. Bowen, who is known for being in more wars than needed, fought with more composure. He used his jab well and countered smartly throughout the opening two rounds. A brutal left to the body near the end of round two left Ronner in visible pain.
Despite beating the count, Bowen quickly landed a straight right, flooring Ronner again, prompting the referee to wave the fight off, awarding Bowen the second-round TKO victory.
Kyle Smith vs Connor Meanwell
Jim Donovan vs Lukasz Barabasz
In the opening fight of the night in the middleweight division, impressive amateur and cousin of Paddy Donovan (1-0, 0 KO), Jim Donovan, made his professional debut against Lukasz Barabasz (4-18, 2 KOs). The Limerick fighter started brightly, mixing his shots impressively and hurting his opponent with a straight left in the opening round.
A glancing left uppercut saw Donovan score a knockdown, with Barabasz protesting it was a slip. The Polish fighter had some success in the final round, but it was ultimately an assured performance from the Irish southpaw. The referee scored the fight 39-36.
