Lewis Crocker Confident Before the WBO Title Clash – EARLY on in his career, Lewis Crocker’s handlers had some difficulty getting opponents for him. They set them up and therefore the Belfast welterweight knocked them down, blasting out a series of out-gunned adversaries without breaking sweat and racking up six devastating KO wins in his first six fights.

But over the last two years Crocker has changed pace. He had some hand injuries to affect and there was also a realisation that he needed to urge rounds under his belt to organize for tougher challenges ahead.
His last five fights have all gone the space and tonight ‘Croc’ takes on fellow prospect Louis Greene for the vacant WBO European welterweight belt which comes with a world ranking for the winner.
“When I started off i used to be only doing four-rounders and it’s easier to blow somebody away once you know you’re only doing four rounds,” said Crocker.
“But check out what percentage people have a knockout loss on their record because they’ve gone out and tried to prevent an opponent but they’ve been clipped early . That risk is usually there so I’m being smart about my work and building my experience. I’ve been getting the rounds and getting experience which has set me up for this 10-rounder.”
If it goes the space , tonight’s rumble in Wakefield are going to be Crocker’s first 10-round fight. He says he has trained hard and is confident he’ll have the engine to travel all the way, if he has got to .
“I’m 100 per cent, fighting fit,” said Crocker.
“I’m feeling good. Obviously Greene’s a formidable ring rival, he’s got some spectacular wins on his record so I’m definitely expecting my toughest fight but I’m looking forward thereto anyway.”
Arguably the foremost notable of Greene’s victories was against Freddie Kewitt three years ago. Kewitt, who beat Paddy Gallagher narrowly on points last year, may be a capable operator but he lost to Greene during a Southern Area title battle in London.
Crocker says he pays no real attention to what opponents have achieved in previous fights.
“Honestly I’m not even brooding about him at this stage, I’m brooding about me and I’m well prepared,” he said.
“I don’t really care who he was fought, i do know what I can do and as long as I’m OK i feel I’ll get the win. i do not study opponents, not in the least . Some people get into it an excessive amount of but i buy a gameplan together and that i execute it on fight night.”
Crocker, who is now training with Gerard McManus and Dan Anderson at Gleann ABC, doesn’t expect the shortage of atmosphere in Wakefield tomorrow night to be an element . Since boxing returned after lockdown, James Tennyson, Carl Frampton, Michael Conlan and Katie Taylor have all had memorable wins and he intends to feature his name thereto list.
“I don’t think it’ll make a difference to what way either folks goes to fight,” he said.
“We are both getting to enter and provides our all so I don’t think having no crowd will make a difference.
“Winning this belt gives me a world ranking. I’m not looking past this guy in the least , i do know that the title that’s up for grabs is extremely meaningful to both folks and I’ll be absolutely delighted to urge my first belt as knowledgeable .”
