Hello there. Before the MacWeather fight I came over to this forum to talk to yall about our respective sports and the fight in general hoping to garner some interesting insight and also answer some questions you guys had about Conor and MMA and what have you.
Now that the fights over I am back again!
Ask me anything you want about how the MMA fan base took the lose or how we viewed it and I'll ask the same of you guys.
I'm from the underground Forum which is the biggest MMA forum on the net.
In general we are pretty god damn happy with Conors performance, most of us didn't think he would win and some of us were even more agressive about his chances than that.
I for one thought he would put in a good performance and maaaybe if the stars aligned knock floyd out which is what we were all hoping for but also I knew the reality was that he had an insane task ahead of him and it was probably more than he could chew.
Ask me anything.
Ok, I'll rephrase. By boxing standards Conor is a pillow puncher with no power
:rofl:
Come on man,
"I'm gonna knock Floyd unconcious within 4 rounds, I'll knock him out in 2 rounds, I'll knock him out in 10 seconds!!"
"With 8 oz gloves I don't see Floyd making it past 1 round!"
"Floyd can't handle my power, he's too small, too old, too frail!!!"
And you're telling me Conor changed his strategy to be a pillow puncher after all that?
Wouldn't the best way to ensure you won't gas be to throw your hardest punches to knock out your opponent early?
It sounds like you're saying he chose to pace himself to try to win a decision against Mayweather, and ended up gassing anyway? :rofl:
It was a leading question for sure but you still made me laugh :)
I'm telling you dude. I've seen every single Conor fight. He has never and I mean NEVER started that slow or conservative.
He is used to being the fastest and most accurate and powerful guy in the octagon. So he just goes in and destroys guys with his boxing. Its literally what he made his name one was knocking guys the **** out and predicting when he was gonna do it.
He knew he wasn't going to be able to just tee off on Floyd, He's very smart and all that **** talk about knocking floyd out was to get in floyds head, Conor plays the mind games hard, REAL hard, like as hard as Ali did.
I' highly doubt his stratagy was ever to just go in there and tee of on Floyd with haymakers from the first bell...
Come on man you just fell for his sell
I thought Sherdog was the biggest MMA forum?
Yep.
I mean they had nothing better to do that create a Mayweather v McGregor sub-forum ... so yes your right hahahaha
Thats how he chose to box Floyd. I think he knew throwing big power shots would make him gas even faster so he was probably trying to time floyd with shorter shots to open floyd up to countering but floyd never countered until he was already tired.
It was stratagy for sure. If you don't believe he has KO power Fly to dublin and let him hit you.
He puts guys in the UFC out from all kinds of angles.
If it makes you feel better about your sport though then by all means pretend he can't knock people out. I'll be over here pretending Floyd was scared and we would both be idiots.

How is Brendan Schaub viewed in the MMA community? And did his d*ck riding leading up to this fight change opinions
I like him. I think he's funny and entertaining. Do I agree with everything he's ever said... No infact I quite often disagree. But that's fine.
He has earned the right to his opinion on fighting.
When he was active there were only probably 30 guys on the entire planet in any sport or just in general who could possibly beat him in a fight so hes got more clout than most, and no none of them are boxers.
AJ would get it, so would parker or who ever else there is HW boxing wise.
How come Conor claims to have power but in reality he's a pillow puncher?

It was fake. You/we got duped.

Hmm lot to address there. There is a video on youtube of "macgreggors best moments" in the fight. He for sure landed some great shots and some very slick slips and things like that. Floyd was on another level though. I'm not here to convince you guys that Conor won rounds and blah blah blah. Cause that doesn't really matter since he got stopped. He represented MMA very well and proved that he can hang with the elite of boxing and be somewhat competitive even if its only for a few rounds. And since he lost, we'll take it.
As far as Conors power goes. He never really got the opportunity to really let loose and swing a big shot on Floyd. And thats a compliment to Floyds defense, The shots he landed were short fast shots cause floyds too good at slipping, macgreggor realised this early on and so he conserved energy and only took pot shots at floyd in an effort to land stuff instead of firing power shots he knew he would miss at that point in the fight and gas even faster.
While i agree mcgregor proved he has more skills than we all thought and surprised us all i dont think he could really hang with the elite. We gotta remember floyd is 40 and hasnt fought in 2 years is not a ko artist was also outweighed by like 20 + pounds and fought going forward throwing 1 or 2 punch combinations. Imagine if it was one of the top dudes in there with mac who are active. Canelo, ggg, lemieux, jacobs, cotto, charlo bros, lara, thurman, danny, porter,spence, matthyssee, crawford etc. all woulda kod Mcgregor alot faster since they hit alot harder and would be throwing 2 3 4 punch combinations. In saying that conor did show skills and I thi k he would be very competitive and could beat lower level guys especially if he keeps training boxing and gets a real boxing coach, but i doubt hed be world champion quality since it takes years of training and hes already almost 30.
How often do MMA fighters get erections? Does the ref stop the action or does he allow them continue grappling?
Same question goes for the men.
All the time. MMA is just an excuse for muscular people to **** each other in gay dominance displays on national TV and PPV and get paid to do it.
While mac did look better than almost all of us thought and put up a good effort I thought floyd kinda carried him through the fight. He threw 6 punches in round one and a combined 28 punches through the first 3 rounds. Mac did win those rounds and did land some good jabs and a nice uppercut(even thought floyd walked right through it)but it was mostly due to activity he wasnt really touching floyd that much. Then from 4 On floyd started letting his hands go and pretty much won every round after. Also floyd pressed the action pretty much the whole fight long which he never ever does which means to me he never felt threatened by mcgregor at all. Now my question to you is what happened to mcgregors power? He landed a couple good shots including an uppercut and floyd didnt even flinch.

Which I been meaning to axe, what exactly is a fvcking sherdog, I know its their site, but what is a sherdog?
Its a dudes last name I think.
and to reply to the guy up top, I don't think sherdog is bigger than the UG... In MMA the UG is by far the most famous forum. Famous fighters used to post on there and so did rogan and some other notables.
If Sherdog is bigger is a big surprise to me and most of MMA.
Could be right though I don't know **** about sherdog.
I thought Sherdog was the biggest MMA forum?
