THERE will be much soul searching for Michael Conlan after he was stunned in the seventh round by Jordan Gill at the SSE Arena on Saturday.

The Belfast man was bidding to bounce back from his defeat to Luis Alberto Lopez in May, but it was not to be as he picked himself off the floor in the second and although it seemed he had recovered and was getting on top, a right to the head stung him and the follow-up assault saw the argument ended with Gill claiming the WBA International super-featherweight title.
