Comments Thread For: Leigh Wood Overcomes Near-Disaster To Brutally Knock Michael Conlan Out in Twelfth

[PotentialToast]

Main event is a Nottingham lad v Irish. Half Irish crowd. With the rugby (England v Ireland) and Nottingham Forest playing this afternoon, everybody has been in the pub all day and they are absolutely cabbaged.

I can't get over how ****** the matchmaking was for that Farias fight.

Why would they think Farias would be a good opponent for a 3 win fighter?

Her only losses have come in world title fights against prime Persoon, prime Braekhus, McCaskill twice, and Mayer in four different weight classes.

She has wins over Victoria Bustos twice, Alejandra Oliveras, Mary McGee, Melissa Hernandez, and Klara Svensson.

She won a world title at lightweight and defended it 9 times before losing, then moved up and won a world title at super lightweight and defended it four times before losing.

I know they were counting on the robbery and all, but still. Farias is likely going to the Hall of Fame. Disrespectful and presumptuous to stick this untested kid in there with her.

Damn, hard to root against "All Along the Watchtower"

Really?? I hadn't heard that, damn good fight, like it a lot

Hearn said it in an interview. Was supposed to be on the Taylor-Serrano card I believe.

Nice, survived the undercard, time for the main event

Curious to see how Conlan takes Wood's power as well. Doheny is the only puncher he's faced, he was purposely matched with really light hitters for a long time. Want to see if his chin holds up if Wood lands clean

A fine Bob Dylan composition

I really wouldn't mind if Wood KO's him...

[bender2000]

Conlan has the most punch able face something about him
