Nose spread across his face.

Ultimately, Conlan can't punch and can't take punches. Stating the obvious but those are pretty fundamental flaws in the pro game. Lopez was smiling at the end of the second round the way it was going.

Kind of like Khan, Conlan loves a scrap but there's nothing left in the pro ranks for him any more. He's not good enough and will get badly hurt. Time to call it a day.

[SHEEDY]

Lopez was different level, too big and too strong. Hard to know where Conlon goes now

[imtommygunn]

He's 31 too. Problem for a boy like this is that it's double has made enough in boxing and maybe doesn't have a big skill set to make much money at anything else so may need to stay in it to earn a living. Although I guess he could do the promotion route like the brother or coaching route like the da.

[gallsman]

Not sure there'd be too much money in any future fights though.

Feel bad switching over to Wood-Lara now as really don't think it should be happening but it could set up an incredible all Mexican fight.

I think Lopez is a step above even Lara.

No shame in Conlan losing tonight to a top class fighter.

He was actually slight favourite to win

I hope Okolie retires after this as well. Shocking to watch.

He be better at rugby than boxing. And a judge called it a draw 😂😂

[gallsman]

Teriffic win and performance from Wood. Dunno if drained from the cut but Lara looked very poor.

[Silkyskillssunshinee]

Lara looked drained. Smart fight from Wood though, fair play to him.

i think it all depends does conlan have the desire to climb the ladder again maybe a  cash out fight with warrington or maybe he will hang up the gloves and become a promoter with his brother,

[Milltown Row2]

At these weight levels there is less than 80% of what you think a boxer actually gets. Conlon wouldn't get much punditry work

He never really had to climb the ladder again though, the perks of having TR behind you. He'll have to earn his next shot legitimately, which basically means that it will be highly unlikely that we'll see him fight for a title again.

Is there much of a career for him in promotion? Does his brother promote anything apart from cards where Conlan fights? Hardly a strong group of top fighters to promote in the country either.
