Scorecards had Conlon up by 1 point on two cards and up by 3 on the other after 11 rounds.
It seems Conlon fought his heart out and was close to stopping Wood in the early rounds. He was definitely out before the last punch. Hopefully he's ok.

Watching it in real time it was hard to see what happened that knocked Conlon out, but this shows it pretty clear

Wood was very classy there after the knockdown.

Unlike some of the fans booing him. All he'd done was say thanks and that he hoped Conlan was ok

What was Conlon doing getting into a brawl at the end anyway ?

If he was on RTE tonight, he'd be as high profile as Bernard Dunne at his peak. Bernard didn't have the profile of peak Barry McGuigan but was pretty much a household name at that time.

But for the ordinary Irish sports follower, of which there are many many looking to jump on any bandwagon, Conlon is just too hard to follow. If he was even on Sky Sports, there'd be plenty looking out for him.

So the Kinahan connection, if there is one, is moot. Not enough people know about Conlon's professional career to care about any Kinahan influence.

Perhaps his pro IRA ballix has something to do with it.

Explain how he's pro IRA.

The Ooh Aah up the Ra ring walk tune might have something to do with it.

Exactly. He was way ahead. All he had to do was jab and move for the last three rounds and he'd have won easy. Very stupid sitting on the ropes inviting shots.

The discussion was around his profile and why he was hard to follow.  Safe to say Frampton would not have been as popoular if he came on to Simply the Best draped in a NI flag.

Agree - I just can't warm to the lad at all.  That said, despite the defeat last night he was way better than I thought he was, but ultimately I just don't think he's good enough to compete at the top level

Aye I'm sure he's bothered that you think he's hard to follow or that boys like you don't think he's popular.  I don't think he's hard to follow.
Frampton goes to 12th parades and runs about in rangers tops. Conlan does what suits him too. What's your point.

I though that was fairly obvious. My point is he would have much broader appeal if he tried to appeal to both sides of the commiunity and would not be hidden away on DAZN or whatever channel it was on.  He would also have bigger purses and be able to set himself up for life.  It's not rocket science ffs.

You haven't a clue what you're on about.
Why would he want to appeal to both sides of the community, he's being himself.
He's not hidden away anywhere. He fights with one of the biggest promotions in the world on a PPV streaming service. His purses are fine. If you're worried about what he fights on, then get it so you can see it.

Even if he did adopt a more neutral stance, I can't imagine the GAWA/OWC mob would be in a rush to support a Catholic from West Belfast.

12th parades and wearing rangers tops! He also wears Antrim tops and been to Gaelic games...
