    Easily walks into the top five fights I’ve seen live since I started watching boxing.

    Have to say how impressed i am by Leigh Woods reaction to his victory.No real celebrations more like concern for a fellow fighter.Good to see

    Wow. That was just incredible. Both fighters put everything in there and put on a spectacle. Conlan the slicker fighter, ahead on my card whilst Wood grafted away with pockets of success. He realised he had to throw with Conlan and knew that he had to take 3 or 4 shots to land a hurtful one of his own.

    Hope Conlan is OK. That's why we love this sport.

    Looked like a weak right hand combined with exhaustion.
    Seems like he was caught before his head hit.

    I hope Conlan is okay. He should be proud of his performance. He boxed really well for the majority of the fight away from home.

    How mad was that, Conlan was miles ahead until the last 10 seconds of the 11th round. Then within the space of 2 minutes the poor ****er is taken out on a stretcher.

    Credit to wood, he kept going. Brilliant fight, arguably the best fight I've ever seen. Up there with Benn - mclennan, let's just hope it doesn't have a similar ending

    I had Conlan in a handy lead, he had Wood gone at times. Tyan Booth who’s sparred wood a lot said on a stream the other night that he used to think to himself how has this guy not killed someone or paralysed someone he hits that hard, I hope he hasn’t tempted fate there because that looked bad, hope he’s okay

    Eddie says ‘one of the most unbelievable things I’ve seen in a ring’ every week but the actually was.

    Fell head first out of the ring while knocked out landing on his head - could be a life changing injury.

    Don't like what he stands for but hope he is OK and can fight again.

    Great fight.

    We can complain all we like about British judges, British referees, British commentators and British stoppages, but if a fighter has to be knocked out like that there's no country in the world where you'd rather it happened.

    I was scoring it and was of the opinion Wood was level going into the 12th, but think most had Conlon still in front.
