2012 Olympics

Fuck that’s close, Conlon just I reckon

Thought Conlan shaded last round

Just I think

That was great fight.

You beauty

HUP :pint: :ireland: :ireland:
Great win 22-18

Yes c’mannnn

Fantastic by Michael Conlan. :clap:

Get in. 'Mon the Belfast Boy. Up the RA. :clap: :ireland:

Super fight I thought he lost the first but he picked him off right at the end of the third

Ridiculous scoring in the second round, which Conlan won by streets. Still, brilliantly composed final round by the Irishman and he landed some great shots in the final 90 seconds. :ireland:

Great stuff. Didn’t think he won by 4 though.

Super fight I thought he lost the first but he picked him off right at the end of the third

The French lad was a little terrier

Ah that was savage, well done Conlan, some scrap, that last round was epic.

Ah fantastic stuff. Did enough in that last round. What a cracking team of boxers we have.

Delighted for those who are steeped in amateur boxing and nights at the Stadium. Larry, Croppy and me spring to mind.

Definitely seemed to save his best for the very end. Terrific stuff after a juggernought of wild punches from his opponent :clap: :ireland:

Great scrap, great win. Who does he fight next?

God bless the 1500m, what a kick from the Algerian 250m out, Cacho-esque superb

How so?[/quote]

He fought southpaw for the entire bout the last time they met. Jimmy felt his southpaw style tonight would have caught his opponent off guard.

The sheer volume of punches makes a fight like that very difficult to score. I thought the french boxer won the first round by 2 or 3 points. Think overall Conlan desrved it by a point or two, maybe.
