Brilliant ringside footage shows Jamie Conlan's breathless final round last night

See the incredible final minutes from one of the fights of the year.

JAMIE CONLAN DUG deep last night to retain his WBO Inter-Continental title by beating Junior Granados, but it wasn’t without drama.

He may have taken the fight by unanimous decision, but the Belfast super flyweight had to recover from two knockdowns in the seventh round to retain his belt.

And with Conlan searching for everything he had, the final rounds were electric; Granados trying to get the stoppage, Conlan fighting for the bell.

The breathless final round was brilliantly captured by Fighter.ie at ringside, showing just how vicious the final three minutes were.

And as usual at Irish sporting events, there was plenty of Olé Olé-ing.

And if that didn’t give you an idea of the physical toll the fight took on the pair, this picture of Conlan post-fight says it all.

An incredible photo.
