Extended sparring footage between McGregor and Chris Van Heerdan

That was not good. First and foremost he looks very slow. Klitschko throws shots faster than this guy ffs. Technique and stance terrible for boxing.... He is not a boxer. He is an MMA fighter and a top one while at it. He's hard coded for MMA he's not going to become a boxer in a few months. He looked much bigger than Chris too, so he was walking him down, with those gloves it's hard to keep a bigger man off and the ring looked small. It wasn't bad, though. Chris Van Heerden (over a year ago) - "Let me answer this, 'Can Conor McGregor Box?' Yes. I never knew Conor actually had a Boxing background, yes he can. I was shocked as how well he can handle himself in the ring. You can immediately see that Conor has got a Boxing background and that he knows how to use his hands. Yes, Conor can Box.... If he transitioned into Boxing and merely focus on the standup game and his footwork... you know what, you can see the background of Boxing, he's got that Boxing ability, he does have it." @5:50 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aup54_vylD4 http://img.exclusivomen.com/conor-mcgregor/conor_12200_w460.jpg

It's still Chris Van Heerden... he's fighting Floyd Mayweather....gonna get washed

Anyhow he ****ing beats Mallignaggi.

he looks pretty decent, he might actually land a punch

Easy work for Floyd, I've seen better technique outside the local on a Friday night

@5:50 Chris Van Heerden, from May 2016 - "Conor can fight. . I would honestly say if Conor McGregor can focus on Boxing, 3 or 4 month training camp, mainly focus on boxing, Conor can shock a lot of Boxers by what he can do." - "I think honestly, a very honest answer from my side, I think Conor could do well ... you know what he's very good at is his timing, precision and timing, with his left hand. Polish it and it just might cause problems for a lot of guys." Directly after the sparring session in the ES News video he clarified by saying not top level pro's, but shyt mid level gate keeper types. Which I agree he could probably beat some of them.

I think Conor is going to be startled once Floyd starts landing lightning fast shots in 10 oz gloves. He'll be like wtf was that. Kind of like Oscar when he couldn't see Pac's punches coming

Poor. Just really poor. So many glaring weaknesses.

In the video Mcgregor looked slow, froze up a few times In mid punch and had no power. Floyd Is knocking him out somewhere between 7-10 rounds.

Hhahahahahahaha whats up with steady open arms after throwing a punch hahaha this mcgregor gonna get rape. Dont want this fight but since its happening i hope he'll get embarass to the maximum level

Boxes like an MMA fighter.... Slow hands, no stance, always on the back foot... This will be ugly unless a miracle happens within a couple months...

Nowhere near as bad as I had anticipated. Although heavily edited, at least he showed that he was comfortable in there. That said, he will not land a single meaningful punch on Mayweather. The only question is whether Floyd carries him for the full 12? I heard people suggest that perhaps Floyd and McGregor struck a deal for Floyd not to embarrass McGregor. Who knows, but Floyd needs an exciting fight if he wants to keep fighting and wants people to keep paying for his fights. (Pretty sure he'll fight again.)

20 seconds in and I'm contemplating shutting it off. McGregor's little production team is annoyingly bad. The shhtty music cuts off about 25 seconds in.

I've posted it a few times here... People acting like VanHeerden was schooling Conor didn't see this vid:
