"I'm speechless, John, I really am. At the end of the first round, for me, Michael Conlan had a perfect round. It was a great exhibition of hitting and moving and not getting hit... but the scores at the end of the first round just spelt out what was to come. "And there again in that last round, he really dug in deep did Conlan. It was a dominant round for me, it's not a close contest. I'm really, really surprised. "The heartbreaking this is, obviously for the Irish champ, but for AIBA Olympic boxing you're going to lose that kid now because he'll turn professional. He's going to say ' you've just robbed me of a potential gold medal'. "We'll lose that lad no to the professional game and that's a crying shame because for me Conlan deserved to win that fight."The whole section is well worth a listen.
