Comments Thread For: Michael Conlan salutes the runners who gave him inner peace ahead of his 'final roll of the dice'

Well-written view into a fighter's mind and struggles. A lot of fans will write Conlan off as damaged goods given his recent form and results, but I think he can make a successful comeback.

It was definitely got caught with a punch when he got dropped the first time against wood. He didn't slip, but conlan was a very good amateur but as a pro he don't have the power or the punch resistance to be the guy at world level. He got taken apart and knocked out by Gill who is a European fighter. Just never looked the same fighter after the wood fight that was a gruelling fight where he got badly knocked out and since then he's been badly stopped twice

Did you watch him as an amateur? Very good? All he did was disrespect the judges for telling him the truth.

Yes I did. And to go to two olympics win a bronze medal in one of them and also to win a commonwealth,European and world amateur championship gold medal is a very good amatuer career compared to most.

Excellent amateur but no ko power in the pro ranks always left him vulnerable.
