I noticed in Mcgregor's sparring video he got tired very quickly and couldn't keep his hands up while at the same time pushing his chin out. Textbook of a tired fighter and a terrible habit that's easily exploited.
Does anyone know if Mcgregor even has any power in boxing gloves?
I saw his sparring video and even when he landed albeit with headgear his sparring partner was totally unfazed.
I'm looking for Mcgregor's strengths but I'm not seeing much.
My biggest take away from Mcgregor's footage is that he consistently has a really bad habit of bragging while he takes a rest because he's tired.
Will macgregor gas? Of all the scenarios being tabled that almost seems the least likely. This is a world class athlete here not some anabolic meathead like AJ or some skinny white boy who got a boxing gym membership for xmas
probably he will, yes. He's shown himself to gas in MMA before and I would say it's by far the most likely option. Especially if Mayweather turns it on.
I agree the first Maidana fight was close and the second was an easy fight for Floyd. If Floyd could out point a crazy awkward workhorse like Maidana than Conor doesn't stand a chance. People keep saying Conor has a punchers chance, but all of Floyds opponents who were well trained top ranked professional stood a chance and guess what they could never leverage the extremely sought after 'puncher's chance'. Pacman barely landed a shot on Floyd and he is just a good of a puncher as Conor coupled with better speed and work output
I have thought about this. Of course i expect floyd to completely dominate and maybe stop him.
But there is a possibility even though a small one that conors weird ass stance and movement could trouble floyd as ridiculous as it sounds, in MMA conor's range and timing completely surpises guys. That could translate to boxing who knows. Not saying that will happen though just throwing it out there. Conor will most likely get his ass handed to him.
It's unlikely but its still a distinct possibility. We know about the financial penalties and obviously instant disqualification for any MMA contact such as flying kicks but what's to stop Conor feigning? What if he got his ass inside and just knocked Floyd out? Not saying likely but you can get 100/1 odds on this and it's not 1% in my book. It's at least 10%.
I followed floods career and can that guy take a big punch in high volume? The only time he was ever tested like that was one of the maidana fights and many people think maidana won that one. CM can punch harder than maidana and he could easily get inside even better if Floyd gets confused by his crazy horse antics - unless the contract somehow forces him to adopt an orthodox or southpaw boxing pose (obvs CM is a SP) which wouldn't surprise me tb
Either way don't know why the negativity surrounding this fight (I get why Oscar is pissed). It's going to be an interesting clash of styles
yeah I've fought against spastic newbies in the gym.
much harder to fight than regular guys.
then they gas and quit.

Anyone here ever seen an amateur fight or being in an amateur fight where you're up against some unorthodox nut job? One with terrible boxing skills.
They are the hardest fights imaginable and the better you are as a boxer the harder they are to win.
What if Conor is just walking into his punches and doing son crazy shiz? Anything could happen in this fight.

All jokes aside conor has decent hands. In MMA he clips guys up with ease because of that, hes not fighting floyd in MMA though and expect him to lose badly.
:lol1:
The guy staring in the background reminds of some guy who was starring at me just like that in my first time at a gym hitting the punching bag lol. I was wondering if he was looking because I sucked or looking because he was impressed. I was hitting the bag so hard and fast, I felt so cool, but those guys in there are gym rats, you never know what they're thinking. Like "Damn that guy isn't getting anywhere punching like that!"
I'm not sure of what you think your seeing that's good.
I heard their using 10 ounce gloves. It will delete McCgregors ONLY chance of an upset.(which was slim to begin with).
Floyd manipulating the cards and most MMA & casual boxing fans dont understand that the dude isn't risking NOTHING.
Conor should start with the wa ha hei combo, then follow it up with the wa wa wa hei combo and he'll have Floyd on the canvas in no time.
Watching that actually made me think of Nadal and the way he plays tennis and the sounds he makes when he strikes the ball...
