Agreed. For such a big event with 70,000 fans, this is just an awful undercard.

Conway is helpless, great for Cissokho, not for the fight itself

It could have been better, as Maggs said - this looked OK on paper.
I just didn't expect Conway to be so befuddled.

Looked like it may have just hit him right in the eyeball?

For once in his life Conway should have thrown his boxing out the window in R9 and wailed on Suduku until he had nothing left.
A missed opportunity in front of his largest audience. :doh:
