    I think it was the classic case of the punches gradually taking their toll. Both men took a lot of punishment in that fight and you don't really know whose body is going to suddenly give up on them first.

    In the last two rounds you could see that Wood's shots were all of a sudden having more impact. Conlan's resistance was beaten down. Even he wouldn't really have known that.
    I also think in the 10th or 11th, can’t remember, Ref broke the fight while Wood was wearing Conlan out. It was like a 25 second break. At that point I was thinking ref is giving Conlan recovery time, but in the end Wood came through, even though he was the lighter puncher and used his head as defense against Conlan’s wide left hook, that was looking bad until about the 8th or 9th

      That’s mostly true my brother

        I still haven't seen the KO punch, the last punch was a right hand but even that looked like it missed and hit the shoulder... it was like he just turned off from fatigue.

          Great fight, Wood can really ****! Conlan has one of those faces that you want to see get punched.

          I wouldn't mind seeing it again.
