Michael Conlan has been robbed in what can only be described as disgraceful.

In an unbelievably ludicrous score in the first round, Conlan somehow lost it but raised his game and managed to win the second round but allegedly lost the third.

The left jab was particularly effective today against Russian Vladimir Nikitin, but he still somehow lost.

Conlan, the 24-yr-old 5ft 7″ athlete from Belfast managed to box at distance with his hands held high and skipping out of danger but again still lost.

A masterful performance with clean shots and fake swings.

A totally disgraceful result by the judges who gave the bout to the Russian.
