BELFAST, Northern Ireland -- At long last, here we are.

Lewis Crocker and Paddy Donovan reconvene six months after their first meeting ended in controversial circumstances, this time for a recently-vacated IBF welterweight title and all the lucrative spoils that come with it.

Before then, there's several hours' worth of undercard action already underway at an increasingly volatile rainy Windsor Park backdrop with attendance figures likely to eclipse 19,000 for the country's first stadium show since 2018. Are you excited yet?

Matchroom's 10-fight bill is being televised on DAZN worldwide, with the main card set to begin at 2pm ET/7pm BST and prior Before The Bell portion available on YouTube. Estimated main event ringwalks are any time after 5.30pm ET/10.30pm BST.

Ishmael Davis promised he would start fast and did exactly that, though it wasn't enough as a slick and later one-eyed Caoimhin Agyarko held firm under duress to edge a 12-round majority decision (112-115, 114-113, 114-113) in the evening's co-main event.

After twice falling short at world level against Josh Kelly and Serhii Bohachuk last year, Leeds man Davis (13-3, 6 KOs) was determined to avoid a three-fight losing skid. Not least an opponent he'd long been called to fight.

After charging forward with a big right hand and reddening Agyarko's nose before bouncing purposefully with a herky-jerky style, Davis tagged the Belfast man plenty in the opening exchanges.

Agyarko (18-0, 7 KOs) couldn't penetrate his high guard through six minutes, try as he might, though went downstairs for the first time in the final seconds.

They traded combinations early in the third, Agyarko maintaining his defensive shape with his back to the ropes, sneaking right hands at close-range as Davis replied with rough-housing.

Agyarko got his loudest cheer in the stanza's final seconds after connecting on some beautiful counterpunching work up close.

Potentially level after four rounds, Agyarko was steadily finding a rhythm but not being urgent enough to double up when successful. Instead, they traded body work as the home favourite gradually began mixing more box-and-move tactics.

"Go twice, land and go again, you've got to dig in and fight, let's go get it," was the wise words from Agyarko's head trainer Stephen Smith before round seven. His response was telling as he intensified his attacks in the seventh.

Contrastingly, Davis was berated by his corner before the eighth. "You let him off, feet first and feet second - do not let him off - both his eyes are nearly shut," came a collection of voices as he breathed deeply, ready to go again.

Agyarko's right eye, cut earlier in the contest, was worsening by the minute and despite boxing sharply in flashes, referee Michael Alexander assessed the problem but deemed him okay to continue before the ninth.

The champion's pockets of success were met with frantic encouragement, hoping it would spur Agyarko into throwing more of the same, but Davis would almost always reply in time to remind him that he was going nowhere.

The doctor and referee both took a close look at the eye before the tenth, this sequence becoming increasingly uncomfortable as Agyarko had long been rendered a one-eyed boxer and was still gritting his teeth.

"Don't let him steal the rounds," was the plea from Agyarko's corner as he headed into uncharted territory for the first time - an 11th round - though for all his silky movement, he was still being tagged and suckered into close-fought exchanges.

A big finish to said round would've helped his case in another nip-and-tuck stanza and his corner celebrated, knowing they were three minutes and some timely discipline away from a career-best win.

A minute into the final frame, an incensed Agyarko tried pleading his case but it fell on deaf ears after a tangle of legs - as Davis threw a body shot - was ruled a knockdown. The champion tried frantically to respond immediately, crunching a haymaker in the final seconds, though a nervy wait beckoned for both at the final bell.

Six months earlier, Tyrone McKenna (25-6-1, 8 KOs) was firmly second best and soundly beaten on away soil in Brighton against Harlem Eubank but here, he could dance and celebrate back among home comforts after sealing a repeat win over Dylan Moran.

Here, the intensity was high from the first bell. McKenna was being urged against greed as he succeeded through punch combinations, while Moran (19-4, 9 KOs) returned fire often enough to keep the 35-year-old honest.

Recently-retired former undisputed 140-pound champion Josh Taylor laughed when asked whether this contest would go long and this made for an even more emphatic outcome.

McKenna was marked over his left eye early and despite a strong job in the corner, that was the theme throughout as they traded hooks in centre ring. Moran was repeatedly being urged to move by his section of supporters as he flickers an uppercut on the back foot while an unbothered McKenna pressed forward anyway.

You could see why during a bruising third, stalking the younger man and scoring with hooks as he steadily cranked up his punch output.

Moran wasn't doing enough to keep him at bay, despite intermittently connecting clean, and his face told the story to begin the fourth - it's an exhausting task.

With a minute left in said round, the crowd noise growled in anticipation as McKenna tees off with combinations to snap the 30-year-old's head back on more than one occasion.

Referee Reece Carter looked intently at the sequence as it unfolded, just before Moran fires a spirited flurry of his own, almost as if to say, don't do anything hasty, I'm still here.

Their attritional battle intensified with each passing minute, Moran moving more now and perhaps he found a second wind after looking fatigued over the previous two frames.

Right on cue, McKenna crunched a big uppercut and chains together a five-punch combo - clearly enjoying this - and things only sweetened for him midway through the seventh.

A big left hand leaves Moran reeling, dazed and off-balance as Carter started counting. He could've ended it there but perhaps out of respect let him fight on, albeit momentarily, as three more unanswered shots was enough before the 30-year-old was stopped on his feet.

Paris 2024 Olympian Pat Brown (4-0, 4 KOs) wasted no time breezing past Belfast-based Nigerian Austin Nnamdi (12-6, 10 KOs) in their scheduled eight-round contest.

The 25-year-old cruiserweight, who has been tipped for big things by Matchroom chief Eddie Hearn since signing last November, displayed heavy hands and spiteful shot selection en route to an inevitable second-round stoppage as referee Russell Jr. had seen enough.

Brown had his right hand cocked and ready to unload more punishment on the 35-year-old, whose lengthy protestations fell on deaf ears. Having been floored earlier in the round by a right hand Nnamdi didn't see, merciful finishes might lack the highlight reel appeal but this one made sense.

Brown said as much post-fight, declaring he didn't get out of first gear and stressing his desire to bank more rounds before Hearn puts his foot on the proverbial accelerator as far as matchmaking is concerned.

"I have full respect for him -- a dangerous man -- but it was only going one way," Brown said. "I wasn't troubled, let my right hand go the first time and dropped him. Jamie and Nigel told me to chill out, get back on the jab because people like him become reckless when hurt.

"It was the most nervous I've felt, fighting in a stadium for the first time and needed to stick to the gameplan. I was very comfortable, it was only going down south after that [first knockdown]."

Molly McCann insisted she isn't in this game for money. Rather, she hopes strategic matchmaking will get her to world title contention within 18 months of her pro debut. This was phase one and, well, she began intently, making the first two-minute frame race by.

With McCann whipping power shots and pressing forward, Rodomska (5-7) had a difficult time getting her attacks off and instead was forced to settle for playing counterpuncher on her heels.

That's a different strategy to master at the best of times, though the crowd were incredulous after seeing her kick out with her right leg to defend a flurry -- you read that right -- before things worsened.

McCann applied more pressure in the third, floored Rodomska two rounds later, and referee Hugh Russell Jnr produced a mercy stoppage deep into the final frame as the Waterford resident fumed at not being able to continue. She was fortunate it lasted as long as it did.

Domestic fights are always a fun watch, aren't they? This had all the makings of an intriguing Irish title fight, and, ultimately, Matthew Boreland (6-0, 2 KOs) remains perfect as a professional after having the final say in a back-and-forth battle lasting six rounds.

He could celebrate wildly at the conclusion of a frenetic frame, one in which he floored defending champion Ruadhan Farrell (7-2-1, 2 KOs) hard with a perfectly-placed left hand at close-range.

A sudden momentum shift threatened to ruin his work, Farrell furiously teeing off with lefts and rights to shake him momentarily, as you wondered aloud how wise it would be for Boreland stubbornly walking forward and withstand such pressure.

Right on cue then with seconds to go, he landed a right hand Farrell didn't see coming -- the ropes keeping the champion upright -- and he looked worse for wear as they trudged off to their respective corners.

The writing was on the wall and after a lengthy inspection during the minute-long interval, Farrell's team had seen enough to wave the white flag. The referee Padraig O'Reachtagain confirmed as much, leaving 'Bam Bam' to bask in his biggest victory yet.

Make no mistake about it, Middlesbrough's Caine Singh (3-7-2) was brought in to lose.

Perhaps that's why there was a smattering of boos at the final bell and again after a 39-37 scorecard was read out in the visitor's favour after a strange sequence saw Castlewellan's Keary (3-1) get tagged far too often for comfort and unable to punch his way out of danger.

Aaron Bowen spoke well in the build-up about wanting an opportunity to showcase his skills in conversation with The Ring, but Argentina's Carlos Miguel Ronner (7-6, 2 KOs) didn't present him enough resistance in doing so.

The 26-year-old Coventry man (7-0, 5 KOs) got the job done with a pair of second-round knockdowns en route to a second straight finish.

Just beforehand, junior middleweight debutant Kyle Smith pitched a 40-36 shutout victory to outwork journeyman Connor Meanwell (2-30-1) over four rounds.

There was no devastating knockout that the 20-year-old talent would've been craving on his debut in the paid ranks, but Jim Donovan produced enough to be encouraged by.

The promising middleweight began well before showing he can take as much as he delivers, eating a series of right hands in the final stanza. A contentious knockdown was scored for him a round earlier, appeared like a slip on first viewing. Nonetheless, Andy Lee's latest pro was a clear victor over four (39-36) against Poland's Lukasz Barabasz (4-18, 2 KOs).
