    Great, they've put Darren O Neill in with Hugh Cahill on commentary. Might get a bit more insight now.

    Conlon looks to be well behind on points in this second round.

    Conlon I thought won that rd. The commentators are very annoying. You don't really get scores for ducking punches.

    Laughable judging. A blind person could of seen Conlan dominated that

    Four years chasing your dream, and then you get a bent decision like that.

    Amateur Boxing makes Pro Boxing look respectable.

    I'm looking at it again.
    It is way closer than our reaction.

    Boxing is funny you see your own man's hits.

    Russian guy hit him a lot.

    Michael boxed fantastic but hit a lot of gloves.

    Last rd was close but still felt Conlon won. 30-27 for me.

    Fair points. There was a lot of shots not landing clean on the target areas.

    Honestly watch again. Panel losing the run of themselves.

    Russian was a good boxer and hit him solid to head.
