I believed that it was going to be my night until that punch came. So unlucky, but these kinds of things happen“, said Conlan according to Izquierdazo.

Mikewent deep and described what did he feel at the exact moment when Wood’sdevastating punch connected him: “It is what it is, my heart is broken, I got beaten. I didn’t see that punch coming. I turned my head, I was not looking. I know that I can take any punch, but that hit me and sent me to sleep. It is just like the ones you are not aware of but in the end, they really hurt you.“
