A top MMA guy, Mike Perry, made his pro boxing debut in 2015 against Kenneth McNeil, only to be toyed with and stopped by the 6-1 prospect. Like McGregor, Perry is known to be a high level puncher in MMA with the majority of his MMA wins coming by KO via punches. Perry fights in one of the same divisions as McGregor but they're yet to face each other, although calls for the fight to be made continue to this day. Many within MMA circles believe Perry would beat McGregor.
A sign of things to come? Does Mayweather vs McGregor end up resembling this..?
I didn't know both of this guys before watching the video, still don't know who they are. But after like 10 seconds i could tell who the boxer was and who the MMA fighter is. The stance, the movement of the feet, the throwing of punches, the head up in the air etc.
True, and the boxer was still a novice pro at this point.
so you're telling me that one of the best boxers ever is going to beat a guy who has never boxed a round as a pro, and has no noteworthy amateur experience? revelations!
Calling it now: Tons of people saying Conor got robbed because he was the aggressor, and the aggressor always wins the rounds...all Floyd did was "run" so he couldn't possibly have won that fight.
I'm thinking he gets kod if he aggressive v Floyd!
Lies. You bought them.
Dana White is a liar. I guess he had the casuals believing that Conor really was moving up 25 pounds to fight Nate.
Conor is a 155er.
Nate Diaz is a 155er.
All it was as two 155ers who didn't cut weight. Nate was "on a yacht in Cabo" vacationing in Mexico when the UFC called him to replace Rafa dos Anjos for the Conor fight... on 10 days notice. So it ended up being at one weight-class up.
Since Conor lost, psychologically, he felt he had to fight Nate at the same weight to avenge his loss. Everyone said that it made no sense, but Conor just wanted it at 170 again. Neither are 170-pounder.

Also...
Conor's last fight was for the 155 Title, so again, no.
P.S.
Years back, Nate fought at Welterweight a few times when he was disgruntled with the UFC's treatment.
Many fighters ascend up in weight through their careers, some jump back and forth between weight classes. Mike Perry himself started off as a lightweight 155 pounder and fought at the weight 2 years ago. McGregor has jumped back and forth between feather and lightweight for a while. Now he may well jump back and forth between lightweight and welterweight. There are countless examples of boxers jumping up and down in weight.. Roy Jones Jr, Mayweather, Pacquiao, most recently Perez and perhaps one of the more dramatic examples is Nobuhiro Ishida who went from a 160 middleweight to campaigning as a 206 pound heavyweight, skipping 3 weight classes entirely, with a gap of only 8 months in between the jump.
Mike Perry fights at welterweight in UFC which is 156 to 170 lbs.
Mcgregor's last two fights were at welterweight and he weighed nearly 170 in his last fight.

No.
Mike Perry is a 170-pounder.
Conor is a 155-pounder, and 145.
What we in 'mma circles' believe is that smart, top-level wrestlers with a chin could beat Conor.
When Conor goes back to MMA, Tony Ferguson beats him, Khabib beats him, Frankie Edgar beats him... Nate Diaz' teammate, Gilbert Melendez beats him... even outside of the UFC, Micheal Chandler from Bellator beats Conor. Even Chad Mendes at 145 in a rematch might beat him (with an actual training camp this time).
Mike Perry is a KO-artist, who's limited. He's an entertaining prospect so far, but there are lots of 170ers who can and will beat Mike Perry.

LMFAO
I bet you said Poirier beats him, Mendes beats him, Aldo beats him, Alvarez beats him too.
Poirier's not a wrestler.
Alvarez isn't very smart, and chin-y.
Mendes, I thought would give Conor a real challenge.
Aldo, I thought would cripple Conor with kicks (keeping range).
I'm guessing that you didn't have Nate Diaz slapping Conor around like he did. I didn't. Nate's not a wrestler. I expected Conor to attack Nate with leg kicks from the start, which he didn't in the first fight... and lost. He smartened up in the second fight.
Fighters have weaknesses.
LMFAO

You got 27 posts and you slurpin McGregor in every one of them. We know why you're here lol.

Is he really an elite fighter? hard to believe to be honest, watching this bum's fight gave me aids. I've unlearnt a couple of things about boxing by watching that ****. I know amateurs (more than one amateur, I mean) that can beat the hell out of this bum, dude.
You can see his punches coming from the moon, and the way he shoulder-rolls without shoulder-rolling is utterly stupid. He could better cut his legs too, he wouldnt notice anyway. What a piece of crap.
why so many ropes?
To make sure the MMA guy didn't fall out of the ring after getting KOed with a wide angle looping shot that any boxer would have slipped or caught easily.

Haha i was about to post this post, almost verbatim.

Lost me at a top mma guy.
Perry is probably most remembered in mma for getting beaten up by a male model.
weird how the UFC fighter only started exhibiting a bit of head movement about a minute before he got KO'd which was when he had his best moments of the fight and the even buzzed the boxer with a neat left hook.
I suspect he would do better in his next boxing match tbh. He somewhat grew into it. He looked genuinely crap at the beginning.
I suspect May/Mac will resemble this fight tbh.
It should do, let's be honest.
If not then Mayweather has let the sport down. No point sugar coating it. And I am certain Conor McGregor just like this dude would make incremental improvements every time he stepped into a boxing ring.
They're professional athletes and in Conor's case he is an elite combat athlete. But improvements can only ever be incremental. It's not a movie.
All of you are in for a shock in August lmao for real. I will enjoy it so much. This forum will be deserted once Conor destroys boxing in one night.
Conor's delivery of that quote in your sig was epic.
