Lewis Crocker Records Stylish KO Win Against Felix
Due to the Belfast native missing weight, the vacant WBO inter-continental welterweight title was only available for Felix to win.
Felix started bright and was countering effectively and putting together impressive combinations. Crcoker seemed to take any shot from Felix and kept cutting off the ring. During round three, we really saw the size difference as the Belfast native landed two heavy left hooks, knocking his opponent into the ropes. Despite Felix working well to the head and body, Crocker kept marauding forward and landed a beautiful body shot in the fourth round, which hurt his opponent badly, who somehow managed to beat the count.
During the fifth round, Crocker showed his tight defence – making it challenging for Felix to hurt “The Croc.” As the Belfast native continued to walk his opponent down, he landed a heavy left hook, leaving his opponent unable to beat the count.
