Pat McCormack’s Impressive Performance Leads to Early Stoppage Against Robbie Davies Jr
In a stunning display of boxing prowess, Pat McCormack overwhelmed seasoned fighter Robbie Davies Jr, scoring three knockdowns before Davies’ corner called an end to the bout after six rounds. The 35-year-old Davies was no match for McCormack’s relentless assault.
Despite being relatively new to the professional circuit, McCormack, a decorated amateur, demonstrated his ability to compete at a high level. His stamina and skill impressed observers, with fellow boxer Sunny Edwards noting McCormack’s capacity to maintain his intense pace throughout the fight.
Davies Jr struggled from the outset, facing a barrage of powerful right hands from McCormack in the third round. The first knockdown came at the 1:30 mark of the same round when McCormack landed a straight right, sending Davies to the canvas. A second knockdown followed shortly after, with Davies saved only by the bell.
Despite efforts to weather the storm, Davies found himself overwhelmed. The third knockdown occurred in the fifth round, prompting concerns for Davies’ wellbeing. By the sixth round, the disparity in power punches landed was stark, with McCormack connecting 52 times to Davies’ mere five.
Recognizing the futility of continuing, Davies’ coach, Anthony Crolla, made the prudent decision to retire his fighter before the seventh round could begin. This victory in the British welterweight title eliminator improved McCormack’s record to 7-0 with 5 knockouts, while Davies Jr’s record fell to 24-6.
