Summary

Barry Jones joins Buncey to break down a weekend filled with controversy. They start in Belfast, where Paddy Donovan was disqualified for landing a shot on Lewis Crocker after the bell. Was referee Marcus McDonald’s decision the right one? They also discuss Gervonta Davis, who appeared to take a knee in the ninth round against Lamont Roach, yet the referee didn’t rule it a knockdown. Plus, they look ahead to the historic all-female card at the Royal Albert Hall, headlined by Natasha Jonas vs. Lauren Price.
