But focusing on Donovan, Hearn said: “It was a fantastic performance. I thought he won pretty comfortably with the knockdowns [in rounds six and eight]. I thought the draw was wild on [one of] the scorecards, but had him winning the fight 7-5 with two knockdowns, personally. But you know, even if he gave it 6-6, which I thought was quite generous, 114–112. It’s a massive win. Definitely [Donovan’s] career wasn’t on the line, but world title ambitions were on the line and it was a great performance.”
