He may as well come up a few pounds for the rematch and heâd have a better chance of lasting out the 12. It would still be lucrative enough.
100%
Iâd imagine heâll definitely want it whether itâs a wise move or not is a different matter
Youâre not the one taking the damage.

Obviously.
Rematch in The City ground, both make great money. Wonât take a huge amount of hype, fight last night will have done al the spade work.
Defeat for Conlon would set his career back hugely and might even stop any chance of a future world title, defeat for Woods would probably end his career.
Last night was huge, especially for Woods. A rematch might be one big pay day but both boxers will earn a lot more going their separate ways.
That said, I think Conlon mentioned a rematch this morning but in the cold light of day he might reconsider.

Santa Cruz isnt very motivated any more but I couldnt see Mick avoiding walking onto something big.
Conlan cant really punch unfortunately. Great fun fighter but Leigh Wood is only European level really.

Twould be class, they could do it in New York and theyâd hopefully both do great money. Conlan is a lovely fighter, hasnât quite the deterrent in his hands. Conlan is probably still making as much as Wood next time out if they go their seperate waysâŚyou can call that loss seasoning maybeâŚhe can step up in weight and bring this on another bitâŚprobably always will lack a bit of pop thoughâŚreading the boxing forums (this lack of power was apparent in the World Series of Boxing in the amateurs with no headguards) but I hoped heâd overcome it. He could âsit downâ on his shots a bit more, but then you lose the fluidity I spose. Nothing to be ashamed of anyway, great fight.

Totally agree, if he loses again to Wood he is fucked. He should fight all the ânamesâ he can, the 0 is gone, thereâs a freedom in that. Everyone will want to fight him as heâs a draw at that weight where theyâre tough to come by. He could be a modern Arturo Gatti. Heâs very fan friendly, the brother was the same at a lower level and couldâve gone for ever with promoters wanting to use him.

Donât laugh, but thereâd be great money in Conlan v Frampton stillâŚ
Definitely not. Frampton was right beside the paramedics at ringside. You could see it in his body language that he wouldnât he throwing digs at him unless training.

Ya, theyâre pals arenât they? Theyâd have both pulled serious coin out of it though. Could even have done it twice if it was any way good. Time has passed and they wouldnât have done it anyway as you say but fuck, as lower weight fights go, that woulda been a commercial monster, first in New York or Boston, rematch in Belfast, I was very interested in it a few years ago when Framptonâs slippage and Conlanâs greenness wouldâve made it really interesting, two lovely fighters to watch as well.
Nice gesture
