    The state of Conlan. I get it, especially in America on this day in particular, but it's soooo tacky.

    Best of luck to him though, the fight is all that matters.

    Looking for the highlight reel KO a bit much but got to think one of them connects sooner than later. Starting to look more comfortable end of the last round

    Target practice for Conlan tonight.

    You could tell Conlan wanted to put on a show and wrap it up early, which made him lose composure once or twice but solid debut there.

    Here's hoping the leprechaun gimmick is a once off for Paddy's Day though.

    Imagine watching this and not thinking he's gonna be anything but a superstar. Doesn't even need to be the best. Fringe world level and he'll be a star. Top Rank will make sure of it.

    That event was special for a debut.

    Im shocked Eddie Hearn wasnt all over Conlan tbh. He has the potential and Hearn is probably the best promoter out there.

    Had sympathy for him at the Olympics, but not so much after that.

    I'l forget about soon enough, but a sour note how that went down in his first professional fight.:(

    id be getting rid of him from the corner tbh and i say this as a big fan of mcgregor. Its ridiculous having a guy from a different sport audibly shouting at you from ringside

    Dodgy as **** of course.

    Anyway, first one out of the way, never going to be anything other then a glorified spar. Bigger tests to come obviously but well done tonight. Always nice to see that tri colour waving.

    I don't want to get negative about him tonight so not much more I can say right now but I do have to say the way that seems to have been scripted leaves a sour taste.

    You're seriously jumping the gun.

    You can't count boxing superstars on 1 hand. Please God he lives up to his billing as a pro, it's a learning process from here on in.

    It can go either way in my opinion, he is given top billing tonight but he's a small fish in a big pond with top rank.

    Make no mistake if he veers off course top rank will have other prospects to fill his shoes. Long road to potential success ahead

    Top Rank are a different level.

    Hearn's problem is he has a massive ego. He doesn't go to fighters to sign them, he waits for fighters to go to him. Top Rank are the best in the sport at taking prospects to the top.

    Conlan is far better off with Top Rank. If he was with Hearn he'd be rotting away on some undercard in Hull or something.

    Now my little bottom farts... I keep myself on the outside looking through the windows of this forum...

    On this occasion, I must voice my opinion on the MC pro debut victory...

    What's the story with the Irish dancing in the ring prior to the main event...?

    What's with the leprechaun's hat...?

    Green, white & gold gloves...... Pleeeeease!!

    The opponent was poor (ok with me as a pro debut)

    Why make an ass of things all Irish??

    Best of luck to MC - Needs to step back from Bob Arums marketing ideas... Makes the Irish look like a bunch of crock of gold seeking eejits!!

    No need to continue. Getting hit a lot and throwing nothing back. Ref correct

    Is Hearn a bit biased toward the British olympian winnners turned pro?

    He seems to rate Katie but tbf for years she is the very very best that is out there. Eddie Hearn is also very fond of getting his mug in front of the camera

    Even though a stoppage was inevitable that stoppage was far too early seeing as only 1 or 2 of those shots got through

    Words from the man himself
    Conlan wrote:
    “I’m giving myself a F, I don’t think I performed too well, but I still got the TKO.

    “There were a lot of nerves tonight and it was my professional debut, it was nerve-wracking but I think I handled it the pressure well enough for a first professional fight, I do believe I’ll be Ireland’s greatest professional fighter and a three-weight world champion.

    “This is the start of something great. Look at this atmosphere, look at this crowd. Where would you get it?

    “I said before the fight I’d do it in the third round, I was going to take my time, and that’s what I did. I would have liked it more clean than a TKO but it is what it is.

    “I don’t think I’ll ever forget this night in my life, this is a real, real special night for me. I hope this will be my home every year and I’ll celebrate every year.

    “I dream about being a world champion and do feel comfortable about saying it. I’m proud to be Irish today. Happy St Patrick’s Day to everyone tuning in around the world and everyone for turning up.”

    Hearn is the UK. Arum is USA.

    How many of his fighters are even known outside the U.K. (And Irl)

    Not at all. Top Rank don't have guys who can fill the MSG arena on their pro debut. Likes of Terrance Crawford still struggle to sell it out and he's an elite top 10 guy. Conlan is already one of their most valuable fighters on their roster. He sells and will continue to sell because he's ridiculously marketable.

    Edit: *MSG theatre
