Irish boxer Michael Conlan extended his undefeated professional boxing record tonight in Brisbane, Australia.
Michael Conlan got off to a comfortable start in round one, establishing good distance and out working his opponent for the most part.
As the second round progressed the Irishman began to slowly but surely cut down the ring of Owen, landing a nice left hand to the body towards the end of the round.
Conlan started to double up on his hooks on Jarrett Owen in round three. The spring in the Australian boxer’s legs looked to be draining as he seemed to go into survival mode.
