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

Fight of the Year (sorry forgot, it's not an American fight).

Gill has something to say....

Conlan is obviously an 8 round fighter when it comes to stamina.

[Quercusalba]

What a war! I hope Conlan is OK.

Doesn’t matter how seasoned you are as a fighter. When you are literally exhausted, out on your feet, you’re brain lacking oxygen and body lacking fluid you’re in a drunken state and you’re not thinking clearly enough to keep your shots straight.

Elite fighters don't empty their gas tanks throwing haymaykers and pace themselves well so your comment is irrelevant. Conlan didn't stay composed and tried to knock out wood in that last round after pressing the panic button

Conlan done. Wow. Great fight respect to Leigh he needed a knockout in the last round and he got it! that was KO of the year.

[Dakuwaqa]

I’d like to see replay from another angle. It didn’t look like a big punch that landed

[deathofaclown]

Wow he was out even before he fell out ring

Yeah, I couldn’t tell at first but having watched it back, his body went limp and then he just fell out of the ring

[sicko]

Great Fight! I wasn't excited for it at all but I'm glad I decided to watch it live anyway

Sucks for Conlan, he had it, I had him up Big and then BOOM! Hopefully he is OK that was a Brutal KO on top of him falling out the Ring. Yeah he will become a Meme and people will make jokes but I really do hope all is well with him and he makes a Full Recovery and continues to fight on because I thought he boxed Well most of that fight

Fight of the Year (sorry forgot, it's not an American fight).

Lol. It was alright, and the finish was one the most dramatic of all time, but far too much arm locking and head contact for my liking.

you’ve probably nailed it, though. Bigger names, and fought in the states, would still see that kind of fight given the award. Just wish it was cleaner
