How does one use his Olympic pedigree?

How did Loma get to 15-3? Title fight second pro fight? Beating bums in the street?

I told everyone El Venado Lopez would crush Mick Conlan like a soda can. Instead of watching this, I watched Lara sleepwalk for twelve rounds. I feel like an idiot.

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.

I mean he was a highly decorated amateur and he could've boxed more efficiently I'm not sure why he thought he became a power puncher.

[BlackRobb]

Called it.

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

Not me. I predicted this out ome for months on Facebook. El Venado Lopez was crushing guys at 130 before he won the featherweight title.

Yeah gotcha. Maybe it's just an Irish 'revert to type' thing like Ward, Lee etc

Props to conlan for actually trying to have a entertaining fight with Lopez probably shouldn't of done that tho because he didn't have the power to really put a dent in him an Lopez hurt him a good few times before he knocked him out. Should of really tried to box in there but Lopez is a good fighter powerful an he can box aswell not like Lara who does have power but boxing wise hes got not much going on

Conlan/Lopez and Lara/Wood didn't happen simultaneously though. I had all three cards on, which is maniacal lol

Ridiculous having 3 different cards on at the same time :/

I got to see CBS win an absolutely ugly fight, Conlan get knocked into another dimension, and Wood put on a boxing lesson. The funny thing is...I told myself I wasn't gonna tune in to Okolie/CBS, but Conlan/Lopez ended very early. I originally had the SKY card on only to watch Eggington's fight.

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.

Yes I think Top Rank quickly realized that Conlan was a limited professional and decided to progress his career very slowly, keep him undefeated for awhile and hype up the Olympic middle finger to the judges- hence the Nikitin revenge fight. Not sure where Conlan's career goes from here. He just doen't have enough pop in his punches to get respect from championship-level fights and although he has amateur pedigree, he still gets hit a lot.
