Premature stoppage but Conlan seems to have no punch resistance anymore.

Correct stoppage. Conlan didn't even complain, he was mentally checked out.

Nothing wrong with the stoppage at all. Was badly hurt, Gill was piling it on and he was offering nothing.

Well beat. Think it's time for Mick to hang them up. He was a great amateur but he has never really impressed as a pro.

This is the problem in a nutshell - all those punches will end up counting for relatively little if you can't hurt your opponent and he's good enough to hurt you with his own.

Conlan a better technical boxer than probably 99% of fighters out there. That's just not enough though.

Look at Leigh Wood. Warrington was boxing the ears off him for 6 rounds and one punch changed it all. A big puncher can get himself out of some trouble.

McKenna announces his retirement this morning and be very surprised if Conlan didn't follow suit at some stage.

Is there many Irish boxers that could fill a potential undercard for a Croke Park fight for Taylor?

Callum Walsh has gained a strong following in the US by being backed by Dana White.

Paddy Donovan talented.

The Belfast big fight nights over for a while? Frampton, Burnett and Conlan have kept it going for over a decade

You kind of feel a bit for Conlan. It must be very tough to put your life into being the best at something to realise that you just aren't good enough. I almost think this happened a while ago with the Nottingham fella and he has been drifting since and hasn't got it back.
