Both know as skilled poker players in both the online poker and live tournament circuit, did quite well as shown in the video.

Sub Lead29-May-23by Press Release
In the third stanza, Conlan relied more on head movement to avoid Lopez’s punches, dipping his head on the inside to avoid wild hooks. That backfired, as Lopez timed an uppercut that hurt Conlan and sent him reeling toward the ropes.
