[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Zelfa Barrett showed sensational power when he needed it to knock out former amateur star Eric Donovan in the eighth round of their super-featherweight ten-rounder at Eddie Hearn's Fight Camp. For six rounds, the 35-year-old Irishman gave Barrett all the trouble he wanted, as he outworked and outboxed the Manchester prospect. But when Barrett needed to turn it on, he delivered, knocking down Donovan three times to make what had gone before redundant.

Very entertaining fight. Going it, I hadn't seen either fight before. I thought Barrett was the favorite coming in but Donovan's skills were undeniable. His hand speed and punch selection was really causing problems for Barrett.

Not sure if it was overconfidence or bad habit or both but Donovan fought with his chin in the air quite a bit and with his hands low. Even before the sudden hook from Barrett it was pretty obvious. Quite the sudden turn of events but not entirely unexpected with the poor defensive posture by Donovan. Enjoyable fight.
