Comments Thread For: Luis Alberto Lopez Blasts Out Michael Conlan With Brutal One-Punch KO in Fifth

[diplo]

Ouch. 2 sickening KOs in a week, damn.

Conlan's level has been established. I don't know why he's such a draw, is it just because he's Irish?!

Lopez looks menacing, almost looked disrespectful the way he was toying with Conlan.

Also looked absolutely juiced!

Was there UKAD testing for this fight?

Did anyone think this wasn't going to happen? Conlan was walking right into the uppercut and never made any adjustments. I see people mentioning back acne but nothing about Conlan's gloves being skinned to the max no wonder his power has increased a bit it didn't matter though. Is that still allowed in Northern Ireland?

Nah but fighters like Conlan don't have the highest boxing IQ, they are just meant to be entertaining and charismatic and get hit a lot, like Gatti, with all due respect to him.

We're starting to see why Conlan was moved so slowly in his career compared to Shakur Stevenson. At one point, Top Rank was predicting a super fight between the two.
Conlan starts fast but his stylr is better suited to the amateurs.

Conlan's only claim to fame was losing controversially in the amateurs. You're right, Conlan was moved slowly compared to other Olympians in the Top Rank stable, they even tried to hype up Conlan with a revenge fight against Nikitin but that was sort of a farce fight because Nikitin only had 3 pro fights compared to Conlan's 13.

I thought Conlan would use his Olympic pedigree, but he lost there too. He walked into a meat grinder. In hindsight, Warrington has a hell of a chin.

Called it.

People on social media gave Lopez no chance. Talk about 'eye test'

If he never flipped off the Olympic judges, nobody would know who the **** he is.

How does one use his Olympic pedigree?

Lopez squeeked past Josh, let's admit, by then Joshs head butting habits were exposed. He couldn't bust Venado up like he wanted, but Josh didn't fold up. Mike let me down. Some more. He was 3 points up at the first bell.
