Comments Thread For: McGregor Admits He Was Too Focused on Pacquiao, Overlooked Poirier

Not sure what it is your trying to prove by stating that. Boxer “a” beat boxer “b” easier than boxer “c” beat boxer “b”…. Are you trying to imply that means that boxer a is superior to boxer c? Are you new to the sport?

Nice non answer

It's not 100%, however, depending on the fighters used, the triangle theory can have a sensible outcome.

So, are you telling me I'm lying or no ?

I don't think he was ever that good. He lost to the shetty Diaz brother twice. I mean, come on man. He still hasn't produced the full Paulie sparring tapes. Paulie don't lie, I got real cash says he whooped him in sparring.

<--->

To be frank, he's just using this an excuse. They cherry picked Poirier because he got a quick win against him back in the day and this was to be a look good ko win to get him catapulted into the media for a Manny showdown. Cherry pick gone wrong basically.

Offensively he’s very dangerous the first couple of rounds. But as paulie said the guy quits when it gets rough. He has no heart and completely wilts under pressure. The only 5 rd distance MMA fight he was running away looking at the clock he was so tired.

He fought Logan Paul coming off a loss

Since English is your 2nd language, let me explain to you what an EXHIBITION meant - not an actual fight with no judges and no score cards. Have you heard of a boxing fight where judges and score cards were absent?

Maidana humiliated Prime Broner
Did 10000x better than Pac
Clottey and ( ) Lucas will never be mentioned as good wins for Pac except from drooling Pac fans.

lol clottey just shelled up and pac hit his guard for 12 rounds and never hurt him. that fight ****** balls. guy just put his guard up and pac couldnt figure out how to solve it and won on activity. you had 45 minutes to figure out how to land on him and a simple high guard puzzled him.


cotto tried to pull a high guard on floyd and floyd was landing with looping shots around the guard, upper cuts and splitting it straight through.

Pac fans say Clottey is worth mentioning (only because he fought Clottey). If May fought that Clottey, they would laugh at it as well they should. Between Erik and Thurman, there aren't that many W's worth mentioning.

Horn had moments and con-vinced 3 judges he won.
The Maidana that May fought would have done a better job than Horn.

Pac fans are dull between the ears when it comes to the meaning of exhibition

Can't wait for the return of Conor 'The Notorious' McGregor! This fight alone ****s on any boxing match we've had or will have in several years.

Behave neither are anywhere near the best lightweight in the world. Loma vs Lopez was literally #1 vs #2 and sh** all over this matchup.

This is like #4 vs #7. Is Conor even still a top 10 lightweight based on recent fights. His last win at 155 was years ago at this point.

Not buying his BS excuse. Leading up to Poirier/ Mcgregor 2 Dana white kept saying I have never seen Mcgregor so focused. The truth is , Mcgregor is overrated. Most of his wins came at 145 where he was huge at that weight. He always had height and reach over his opponent’s. Not saying Mcgregor isn’t talented just overrated. Furthermore, he is basically saying there should be no takedowns in their rematch. It’s mixed martial arts, how about you become more efficient in all aspects and learn wrestling instead of saying no takedown. Also Mcgregor has tapped pretty quickly in his loses and wilted pretty easily once Poirier hurt him in the second fight. He is not that durable.

Nowhere does it say an exhibition. If only froid stooped to mannys level and fought a young lion like spencer. Lol looked ****** against logan

So it was going to be a real 12 round title fight for the WBA "Super" WW title? With a MMA fighter that was already stopped by Floyd? That's worse than I thought! Sheesh!

[A.B Counterhooks]

Sounds like another conor mcnugget excuse, dustin handed his ass to him and pacman would've done the same and worst, he just doesn't have it any more, he'll get sparked by poirer once again
