Mick Conlan vs Isacc Dogboe in the works

Apparently the fight would be at 122 pounds.

 

If Dogboe carries the weight well, which I think he will he’s certainly got a chance, not been sold on Michael “Mick” Colman.....terrible ring nickname.

 

Ceart go leoir! Very clever with the it's Irish lingo!
Actually you're possibly wrong on both counts though...you're Definitely wrong linguistics wise .. we call the language "Irish" not Gaelic, and it's possible ...only possible mind...that you're wrong about conlon too and it turns out to be a bit like Josh Warrington....not looking convincing, but proving to be deceptive and getting there in the end...

 

126

 

Dogboe's got some serious heart but he needs to stay at 122 and just stay away from Navarette (which he will do now anyway).

 

Sarcasm? I sure hope so.

 

I'm not so sure. If Mick fights like he used to as an amateur or early pro when he took way too much punches then yes certainly dogboe could win. But in his recent fights conlon has taken far fewer punches. With improved defence, better footwork and a good engine, plus being a lot bigger conlon could beat dogboe. A big ring would help conlon. I could see this being a bit like frampton v Warrington. I like dogboe but he has limited skills. Mick should be able to outbox him.

 

You think Conlan has too much for TJ in all honesty? I think TJ is far too slick and powerful. Just too varied in his talent overall for Conlan to handle at 122 in particular. At 126 it'd be more even but its no certainty for Conlan, much like Dogboe isn't.

 

To be fair to his critics Mick did look vulnerable in his earlier pro fights. I was very critical of him myself. But they seem to have failed to notice the improvements Mick has made recently...particularly in his defense. Unless the fight is in a phone box I can’t see Dogboe beating Mick provided ... and this is critical...Mick fights the right fight.

What hasn’t helped either is the long string of Irish boxers that have failed ...and been overhyped, often ridiculously overrated....in recent times. This hasn’t helped credibility wise. But it isn’t fair to tar all Irish boxers with the one brush. Mick is better than his brother, Tommy McCarthy, the lad taureano Johnson best etc etc. lumping Mick in with these guys is just lazy thinking.
