Unbeaten WBO #1, WBA #8 bantamweight Michael “Mick” Conlan (15-0, 8 KOs) scored a twelve round majority decision over Ionut Baluta (14-3, 3 KOs) on Friday night at York Hall in London. Conlan, making his junior featherweight debut, had his hands full with Baluta. Scores were 114-114 and 115-114, 117-112 for Conlan.
In a British title eliminator between unbeaten super welterweights, Troy Williamson (16-0-1, 12 KOs) scored a sixth round KO over Kieran Smith (16-1, 7 KOs). A barrage of punches put Smith down for several minutes. Time was 1:28.
Super lightweight Ryan Garner (10-0, 6 KOs) outclassed Jordan Ellison (11-33-2, 1 KO) over six. Garner suffered a cut from a punch midway, but still cruised to a 60-54 win.
Super welterweight Joshua Frankham (3-0, 0 KOs) outpointed Naeem Ali (2-67-1, 1 KO) over four 40-36.
Looks like Joshua Frankham’s team tried their best to get their guy a KO against a guy 2-67-1.
I looked that guy up, Naeem Ali, he does have 67 losses, but he’s never been knocked out.
A good opponent for Anthony Mundines comeback. International experience- true veteran, never been stopped. What happens when the Machine meets Mr Unstoppable.
2-67-1, and he started his career on 10-14-2017. So….70 fights in 43 months??? A lot of undefeated opponents on his record as well. The makings of a tomato can legend here. Would be funny to see this guy lead the “Ali” chant with the crowd like Muhammad Ali used to do?
This isn’t the Parker/Chisora undercard right?
Conlan….whatever. So slowly moved, so unimpressive. Overblown hype job……yawn.
I saw him live and he was pretty exciting. Not a world beater but definitely not unimpressive. I mean he’s a professional athlete and we aren’t but we can always complain like big Jake above.
mike conlan has great movement id like to see a showdown between 2 pack shakur. conlas got alot of pull even in ny. gimmie the maloneys anyday though.
Conlan got exposed.
I just dont get the interest in Conlan at all. He’s just not really good. Hes had time to mature… fill out…. settle into his punches… etc. Its not gonna happen.
Met brother Dens and shared a grit with him outside Clancys. No tribe loyalty here! And that goes too for 2 pax. Maloney is wehere its at. Not Baloney…
