Thank you for joining us once again here on talk and fight for another episode of knuckle up featuring mike orr at poor, who did an amazing job last week featuring the black murderers row and hosted some pretty decent panels with a few other invited guests as well.
Anyway, congratulations on that mike.
I appreciate what you did and and and i think we got a record number of viewers uh coming and checking that out as well.
Learn a bit of history learn a bit of boxing uh stuff.
That kind of lies in the background that we really rarely ever talk about, so it’s really good that they got their dude got their recognition and there are a few that are outstanding.
There aren’t admitted to the hall of fame yet, but with a few place, good words, i’m sure we can get that fixed, definitely, definitely all right who do we have lined up for today? Well, it’s unfortunate, though we were supposed to have him with us today, but um because of a delayed uh.

He didn’t make it home to ireland in time to talk to us, but he is coming tomorrow and that’s patty.
The real deal donovan guys, if you remember, i profiled him back st patrick’s day last year.
This kid out of ireland is a force to be reckoned with in the ring.
The real deal yes for real this kid man is the real deal.
This southpaw 5-9 out of ireland he’s now ranked 170th out of 1876 people in the welterweight division.
We got to see him in a great matchup uh, just this weekend against um, miroslav, serban, um, tko, sixth round uh.
What a great, what a great fight man uh this kid put his heart into it uh you know, donovan was always expected to feed him, but the style in which he did so was impressive.
Uh.
You know he’s trained by andy lee and this andy lee trained stylist looked at home under the added spotlight provided by sky sports and showed just why he is held in such a high regard on this undercard of the josh taylor, jack counterall, fight uh.
You know it was a jaw-dropping and tougher test uh that will come to him uh, but he showcased all of his skills when he broke down a gutsy and ultra defensive, uh serban.
So honestly, man uh this limited fighter.
He carried a hand niggle into six rounder.
Eventually, scored a six round stoppage win before celebrating honestly guys, what a great fight to see man you want to check it out.
I’M gon na get our producer to put the link to this uh to this fight in the uh, in the description or or the you know, or the comments we got, ta see this man.
