Lewis Crocker battled hard to win a massively entertaining war in Birmingham tonight. Conah Walker won fight fan’s respect with his gutsy display but ‘The Croc’ deservedly won the high-octane entertaining fight live on DAZN. The quality and power of the Belfast man eventually cancelling out the quantity and persistence of his 29-year-old rival.
‘The Wolf’ did ask questions of the Billy Nelson -trained welter and his granite chin also meant he was afforded the chance to test the tank of the Conlan Boxing man in the latter rounds. However, the 27-year-old had the answers and while he was tougher than he predicted, he registered a career-best win thanks to a performance of both will and skill. The 96-93, 96-93, 95-94 victory should now set up a massive all-Irish fight with Paddy Donovan , who was watching ringside.
Irish-boxing.com expects that eagerly anticipated bout to play out in Belfast in November. Walker came as advertised and marched forward from the off.
He wanted to be in close quarters from where he could work. Crocker welcomed the approach and waved ‘The Wolf’ in, happy to wait and land the more spiteful shots. One massive left hand in particular from a smiling Crocker caught the attention of Walker and everyone in attendance in an entertaining opener.
The second stanza was similar, Walker walking forward and trying to press the action but Crocker canceling out the Wolverhampton man’s volume with quality and power punches. The Sanyrow man again with t.
