“I didn't perform properly. It was not even close to the performance that I can show. In the ring, I was just not myself. I can't complain because the training camp was perfect. The preparation went very well, unlike the fight with Lee Wood, when I had covid before that. This time there was nothing like that. I flew, everything went well, but on the day of the fight everything just disappeared, and I forgot about everything.
I started doing things that I never did in combat. For example, I made a felling with this guy, with whom I should not have done this, since my boxing abilities were much better. It was strange. My head was out of order. When I warmed up, I felt that everything was going wrong. I don't know what it was. I can't point my finger at it. I felt wrong, something was wrong. I didn't know what it was. I just wasn’t myself, and it made itself felt, ”BoxingScene quotes Conlan.
Recall that at the end of May, Conlan lost to Lopez by technical knockout in the fifth round.
