Has an elite boxer ever been Koed in 13 seconds or 1 punch?

This is a comment on the fanbase rather than the fight itslef, but i was having a convo with an 'MMA fan' earlier today about the fight. He was saying how amazing McGreggor is and he 'saw a video were McGreggor threw a punch just to see what his opponent would do and then later on faked the punched waited for the guy to react and knocked him out'.

You should have heard the amazement in his voice

I was like, hmmm. You need to watch some boxing mate

Fundamental boxing techniques amaze people when they understand them. Most people just see two guys throwing punches. They don't take into consideration feints, timing, ring control, hand speed changes, etc etc

Not quite apples to apples. With mma the stoppage was forced more quickly because he was able to strike his opponent on the ground to force the quick stoppage. If this had been a boxing match, the knockdown would've allowed a chance to get up.

Yup. Let's also not forget that they use 4 ounce gloves in MMA, whereas in boxing it's 8 ounces 147 and below, and 10 ounces anywhere above that.

Comparing apples and oranges

IMO this is also why MMA has a huge fan base because even though its martial arts it is more of a "fight" or something you'd see on a street.

I agree with you. Nothing against MMA but the fans I've spoken to aren't really into the technical side. They speak more in generalities and use a lot of triangle theory lol

Lmfao at anyone ****ting on Aldo for getting caught. The first round is always dangerous. He fought the best of the best and was undefeated for 10 years. He was a true champion. He was over emotional. Conor was disrespectful for over a year and got in his head. Aldo did something stupid (head hunting) and paid for it. Aldo is one of the GOATs. Love or hate mma but he was a true champion who fought the best of the best. No cherry picks. Hope he bounces back

Dude, he looked stupid. You are the first one to even defend him.

If it were boxing Aldo would have got up with a count and fight goes on , the hammer fists on the floor is what stopped the fight .

Aldo got caught cold it happens , Id like to see a rematch just to see a round or 2 .

Conor used his movement to create a little space and then threw a counter. Classic boxing technique. The punch was almost perfect. Doesn't mean Aldo is a bum. Far from it. He is a beast. Conot is just that good of a puncher. Unbelievably accurate and powerful.
