    Assuming he doesn't retire, I wouldn't mind seeing Conlan vs. Dogboe.

      These so called experts were picking Conlan but I knew Lopez style was all wrong for him. Conlan should rematch wood he can beat him I'm sure of that.

        I forgot about the weigh in picture. He looks big there, but looked a bit smaller in the ring.

          Conlan needs to stop. He will end up unable to speak properly and forgetting his own name in a decade. A knockout is one thing. Taking big shots consistently and getting knocked cold twice as he has, he is playing with his life at this point.

            But in fairness, Lopez looked really jacked. I cant be the only one who noticed.

            He looked like a welterweight with a Tommy Morrison type body.
            Not only that, but the back of his shoulders has all of a sudden sprouted acne. Yeah, you're not the only one to have noticed. It's staring us in the face.

              You're sure he can beat Wood? Haha. Are you bitter that Wood schooled the unskilled Lara who weight cheated but found it wasn't enough? I guess it's a different world when you don't have an inactive opponent isn't it. A very different world. One down, one to go. Enjoy Lopez while you can. It won't be long now. It never takes long.

              Lopez was the fave too. These "Experts" are only in your delusional fantasies.

                This was the first time I've seen Conlan box and he looks robotic and has no defence. He looks like a amateur whose just started boxing.

                Maybe he had an off night but I'm not impressed.

                  He was a world class amateur a decade ago.

                  He has never beaten anyone remotely considered a contender, isn't fast, not impressive defensively, has chin issues, and punches with the intentions of a sparring partner.

                  His is a year younger than Marvin Hagler when he retired.

                  His name and ethnicity are his sole assets.

                  Because he is Irish and they have oversized influence in the US.

                    Wood will hurt Michael this time. Micky should be more respectful to the better man.

                      He would still have beaten Conlan, who has done nothing in a near decade career.

                      Being Irish can only get you so far, even in the US.
