Slick Mick Conlan showcased his full repertoire of sweet science inventory this weekend at the iconic Madison Square Garden.

The Irishman was fighting at the famed venue for his second time in his very first year as a pro.

The 26 year old proved too strong in the end for opponent Luis Molina and recorded a unanimous points victory on all three scorecards over his Argentinian counterpart.
