He looked to be tiring going into round six, but the southpaw fought his way until the very end. There is sure to be plenty of celebrations. Leading up to the event, McCrory told our sister title the IrishStar.com that the Garden was "always where he's wanted to be". He was meant to put his gloves up in New York in June but was forced to abandon the match after picking up a hernia injury and undergoing surgery in Philadelphia. "It's good to be injury free but I'm taking nothing for granted," McCrory said.
