Belfast's Conor Quinn tastes defeat for the first time as a pro as he loses on a majority decision to England's Conner Kelsall in their Commonwealth flyweight title fight.
Belfast's Conor Quinn tasted defeat for the first time as a professional at the SSE Arena on Friday evening as he lost on a majority decision to England's Conner Kelsall in their Commonwealth flyweight title fight.
He applied constant movement with fine footwork and was good off the jab, with Quinn unable to fully gather a head of steam. There were just a few signs Quinn was starting to solve the puzzle in the third, a whisker away from a looping right early and his stiff jab snapping Kelsall's head back. But Kelsall was disciplined in his approach as his movement was not allowing Quinn to take this by the scruff and make it a fight on his terms, content to box and move.
