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

[Jim Bob]

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

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 😂😂

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,

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.

What was with throwing the towel in last night.

Would a corner not wait to see if he was goin to get up before throwing it as the count would stop the fight in any event and from my mind throwing the towel in is the worst way for a fighter to have the fight ended woukd they both prefer to take the big shot and 10 count?

[quit yo jibbajabba]

The couple rounds i seen he had took some heavy heavy hits, prob for the best overall

[Milltown Row2]

At least he stayed in the ring this time
