Not a good contest similar to last week Cacace v Dickens. A lot of missed shots and not really engaging.

SD for Walsh in an upset. Close and neither boxer dominated. Conlan said he would retire if he lost.

Conlan retires after defeat by Walsh

“I said that the next defeat, no matter the circumstances, would be me finished with boxing and it has come,” Conlan told reporters in a sombre dressing room afterwards.

"I didn’t think I lost, but I wasn’t good enough and that’s just a fact. For me to become a world champion I need to be beating guys like that and beating them well. That was too close for comfort.

“I’m 34 now, too long in the tooth, I thought I won but it is what it is. I don’t want to do it anymore so it’s time to say goodbye to boxing.”
