        Man, if I remember correctly, he was dominating or at least comfortably ahead in his fight with Leigh Wood.

          It's been a while but I recall Conlan nearly stopped Wood in the first round and hurt him multiple times after that. Wood started to get into a better flow in the second half of the fight but was down on points, he dropped Conlan in the 11th and stopped him in the 12th. Nearly decapitated him.

            If Conlan doesn't love the sport, he should probably get out. His chin is wrecked and I see only punishment in his future.

              Man I like Conlan and his style but that fight against Lopez !! (Who tf matched him in with Lopez!! Btw) That should have been it for him, he got some terrible blows that night on top of the Wood fight. Don’t wanna see him all
              slurred up.

                  Michael Conlan has shared some very honest insights about boxing. He not only talks about the physical challenges but also sheds light on the darker side of the industry. His emphasis on the importance of opportunities and self-marketing is thought-provoking. It’s true that boxing isn’t an easy sport, and Conlan’s clarity in recognizing his own limits is a valuable lesson for many fighters. Hopefully, he’ll continue to find joy and success in his managerial career! chiikawa puzzle

                    God damn you're right! That's exactly what happened, maybe I should rewatch that fight because as far as I remember... that fight had drama and brutality, plenty of it. In my opinion, it's a modern day classic.
