Conlan threw the cleaner punches, yea i thought it was a close fight but i do think it was the right decision.

[@simpleman9450]

U funny lad mate

[@biddyearly9262]

Very close fight. Baluta was more aggressive but that does not equal a win.

[@tonyking6417]

Screaming and throwing shots looks good, and respect to the heart; but means nothing if its hitting glove or air, meanwhile Conlan threw less but made clean contact, and actually put more hurt on him, kinda lack luster no doubt, but a very solid performance.

[@nerozonez9423]

Conlan is all hype he had to move down to 122.. 126 was too tasty.

[@melanitex1089]

Yup just another weight bully..... just like Anthony Fowler and Lewis Ritson when he was at 135 lbs notice how average Ritson looks at 140 lbs now.

[@khabibcherrypicker5629]

He’s definitely not a weight bully he’s the same size as these guys

[@humann5682]

Conlan says he needs to improve. He's been saying that the last couple of fights. He's not some young fella anymore, he's 30 this year. He needs to really step it up otherwise he can forget about being a world champion.

[@RegenerationOffical]

& he just hasn’t

[@stevequinm2296]

I think this fight was perfect for Michael conlons carear, a nice tough awkward fighter make his stamina perfect for his next apponent

[@Sarissa99]

Baluta wanted it way more, he gave his all, Conlan I don't think so

[@Jp-do9ny]

And? He got outboxed. Conlan is the far better fighter.

[@leeroyleeroy6099]

@@Jp-do9ny still an undeserved victory.

[@kevindurand7230]

Ok mate, stick to begging and picking pockets

[@biddyearly9262]

Baluta was more aggressive but that doesn't mean he won. Conlon blocked a lot of his punches.

[@Sarissa99]

@@kevindurand7230 me??

[@paulmlally1]

100% Conlan was the better boxer. Both punches and defense were on point but what a fight. I believe Michael Conlan will have all belts soon. Eire Abu !

[@Fazmagarical]

Another home field advantage.

[@geni1intake]

Tbh based I don’t know how everyone isn’t up in arms about this one of the worst robberies I’ve seen second half of the fight was all beluta

[@weebunsBelfast]

Went to school with mick and think hes a good boxer but also think he's to cocky and needs to drop down a weight 💪

[@frankie6849]

If only Conlon could punch harder class act

[@tamasfeka5026]

i feel like Conlan missed so many chances to counter Baluta, when he was just coming forward with double or even triple straight punches not protecting his chin.. a good counter puncher would definitely knocked out Baluta

[@den20dgo]

Baluta coudn't punch through a paper bag and Conlan still avoided trading with him. Very frustrating to watch.

[@jamiebushby729]

Adam booth fighters have serious defence flaws all of them do

[@humann5682]

Thing is Conlan has the skills to keep it long, stay on the outside and win decisions. He doesn't do that though as he's trying to be the macho man and trade with fighters. He buys in to all thus "Celtic Warrior" BS. Did the exact same thing with Nitkin. He's not a Ricky Hatton or a Carl Frampton. He can't get away with that.

[@vin8754]

@@humann5682 it gets addicting almost standing in the middle and just trading with the opponent.

[@markwinstanley4898]

Baluta just can’t stay on his feet, he is so unbalanced, let’s home the menace puts him down properly on saturday

[@Galexsy-b2z]

Can't wait 2 see Dennis fight this week the menace will destroy him

[@Mouniresparabienoparamal]

@@Galexsy-b2zyou were saying…

[@Galexsy-b2z]

@MbeTopG was a good wee fight baluta very tough well done 2 both of them sooo wats your thought on Mark comment

[@joseluisabadgambero7551]

Clearly a draw although Baluta showed more ambition for the victory. Third refeeee must have been watching another fight, embarassing

[@roadtigermixvlog]

naoya inoue the MONSTER comming soon 122lbs.

[@shaunmcnally2267]

Conlan has no business mi xing it at 122lbs....the geezer is big for featherweight!

[@rivafussball6719]

This is why he's swerving Stevenson

[@thomassmith6928]

How many low blows in the fight??

[@alessandroorlandi1051]

What a biased commentary

[@BigBoshV]

Be safe

[@Jp-do9ny]

Lol Conlan won this. Boluta was punching nothing but air

[@leeroyleeroy6099]

Get ur eyes check ur blind as a bat !

[@rivafussball6719]

Not impressed by the fighters they're putting in front of Conlen AT ALL!! The Wood fight great but he needs to face Shakur

[@DestroyislamanimmagrintsWhitep]

I'm Irish and believe conalin lost

[@temahoney]

Coolant lost. Plain and simple.

[@stephaniehamilton6217]

I've seen better fights in the pub carpark!

[@TomJones-sr5wi]

Baluto got robbed

[@joemarshall7029]

Leigh wood gonna knock him out 🙏

[@bobbysilver272]

Just saw Conlan mouthing off in an IFL vid. Never seen Conlan before. Just saw this.....he is nothing special.

[@user-vi6wf4gh9x]

Conlan dominant. ☘️

[@CrazyMonkey679]

Dominant by Conlan.

[@jameshanson7375]

🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@rivafussball6719]

Pointless exercise in mediocrity

[@arstor1]

Ian John Lewis does it again 👎

[@faadilman4974]

Boluta was the better fighter

[@frank311]

Just because your throwing punches doesn't mean your doing good, the guy was punching gloves and the air the whole time while conlan actually landed shots to the body and head

[@alanconvey4030]

Haha casual alert

[@kashifbenshamim8445]

That was a robbery

[@Jp-do9ny]

Sure, jabawookie

[@den20dgo]

Robbery, a word used the most in boxing by idiots and casuals alike.

[@thisguy976]

@@den20dgo Yes, 'robbery' is essentially a way of saying "the other man won the fight but I'm too salty to admit it so let me lie and call it a robbery". I always thought the idea of boxing was to punch your opponent cleanly and not be punched. Some people think punching nothing equals a clean punch.........

[@JomelMagura]

Conlan is overrated
