JAMIE Conlan had little bother out-pointing David Koos at the Titanic Exhibition Centre last night.

‘The Mexican’, already a veteran of a succession of wars in his 17-fight career, changed the pace for this one and stuck to his boxing against out-of-his-depth Koos who battled gamely to the finish.

He did so relatively comfortably over the first four rounds, but Conlan turned up the heat in the fourth, landing chopping right hands as Koos tried to back-pedal out of range.  

Conlan remained disciplined and in total control to the finish and now moves to 18-0 with high hopes for a shot at the world super-flyweight title next year.

Results:

Super-Flyweight: Jamie Conlan beat David Koos pts (80-72)

Flyweight: Paddy Barnes beat Stefan Slavchev – Slavchev disq R5

Super-Lightweight: Phillip Sutcliffe Jnr bt Chris Jenkins pts (98-93)
