Michael Conlan v Tim Ibarra - MSG Pro Debut Tonight

[denilson200]

So Shakur Stevenson gets a silver medal at superbantam at the Rio Olympic. Where as Conlan gets bronze. Both sign for Top Rank. But Top Rank rolls Conlan out first (With incredible hype for a pro debut) in the headliner

I wonder why ?

But in truth here aren't many overrated fighters in amateur boxing since they always face the best and he is the current world champion.

But that’s on paper

From what my eyes tell me is that he looks good but not great.

Yet he's being promoted like he's great.

Now Robeisy Ramírez; the 22 year old double Olympic champion from Cuba who beat Conlan in 2012 and Stevenson in 2016 is a fucking unbelievable fighter.

Man if he turned pro he’d shut down EVERYONE from Loma, Rigo, Choclatito…all of them. Ramirez is special and I could understand him getting that hype if he turned pro.

But Conlan has dined out on his controversial lose to the Russian guy at Rio. Frankly he did win the fight, but it wasn’t no Roy Jones Jr type robbery in the 88 Seoul Olympics.

Also unlike say Mayweather or Golden Boy promotions, Top Rank don’t really match there prospects HARD. So I can see him easily getting to 15-0 in three or four years.

But Conlan is fighter best known for throwing a toddler tantrum and that seems to have built a load of hype for him but now he has to put up or shut up.
