The Boxing World Reaction To Michael Conlan's Pro Debut

Michael Conlan made his much-anticipated pro boxing debut on St. Patrick's Day in New York.

In front of a sold-out crowd at the Madison Square Garden Theater - which saw Conlan walked to the ring by Conor McGregor - the Belfast boxer was too much for Tim Ibarra.

In his post-fight interview, Conlan admitted to being nervous ahead of the fight. Those were dealt with as he settled into the experience with the passing rounds.

Conlan won the first and second rounds easily. The 25-year-old had looked for the KO punch throughout. Though it didn't come, the pressure he was exerting on the American eventually told as referee Benji Gutierrez stepped in to stop the fight with 59 seconds remaining in the third.

This is how the boxing world reacted to Michael Conlan's pro debut. It should be noted that Conlan gave himself an F for his performance.
