Conlan struggling with the weight, would love to see him beat tomorrow night.

why?

So we don't have to listen to Grace again 

Went the distance last night Doheny gave a decent account of himself but never looked like winning fight. Conlon probably on course for a world title shot. Seemed to be a great atmosphere at Falls Park

Thought the crowd were very poor in supporting the fighters...expected more

At the same event before and great atmosphere but the vast majority are too drunk to see the fight and no interest in boxing. Like a big outdoor party which isn't a bad thing

Was following fight TV and seen chat function and came to a point to what type of joints lads were smoking. At the fight. Great lads

Would say there was some gear about

MTK

Not be too many boxers you'd like to see win then! Boxing is run by gangsters dating back from day zero

That's a total cop out, MTK in a different league

Maybe do but the mafia in America has always been involved in American boxing, especially in Vegas. The Mexican drug cartels have involvement in many of their boxers. It's a corrupt sport right through from Amateurs to the top professionals. It hits harder for us at home with MTK but it's always had a shady side to it. Yes, admittedly MTK seem to be on a different level but I don't blame the boxers. A young fella offered money and a pro contract to help with his dream of becoming a world champion? I'm sure most of us on here would do the same. The big criticism I have for MTK boxing wise is that they have saturated the market with fellas who are useless.

Conlans toughest opponent to date & his best performance to date.

In his fights he is usually very boring to watch with little or no actual aggression - last night he brought aggression and was tactically very good.

Time to go for a World Title now.

The atmosphere was electric but as someone said the amount of 'fans' at it that had no interest in the actual boxing was unreal. At least the rain stayed away.

Very impressed with Donovan from Limerick who looks a real prospect. With Andy Lee in his corner he looks the best Irish prospect for a long time.

The McKenna fight was very entertaining

Two south paws ...made Conlans fight awkward

That was some battle there by both fighters on channel 5

Absolutely cracking fight.

I don't know where the last judge got the difference from!! Maybe eggington did enough but his face is busted!!

[nrico2006]

What about Valdez, as crazy a decision as there has been in boxing in modern times. No regulator has the sports credibility in tatters.

[bennydorano]

See Joshua 3/7 to beat Usyk (near 3/1 to win) next Saturday. Extremely dangerous opponent for AJ, fight to go the distance is 6/4 seems good value.

Toughest fight of Joshua career. So many permutations - Joshua's power could be too much for Usyk and eventually lead to a KO, or Usyk could simply tire Joshua and finish him in the second half of the fight, ut if he keeps Joshua from dictating the pace.

[JoG2]

Usyk is some operator, great fight

[SHEEDY]

Great performance by usyk, clear winner, at least the judges scored it correctly.

[Solo_run]

Great fight that. AJ playing for a borefest and Hearn needs to lay off the stupid entrance theatrics at the beginning of fights.

Usyk looked like he could have went another 5 rounds
