McGregor stamina sucks

[Dean_Razorback]

i know is ufc, but dude was dead tired from the beginning of the second round. floyd and manny are way past their best but their gas tanks are excellent

I think people having cardio this bad must be genetic no matter how much they train they seem to gas ala Canelo. Imagine Conor vs Manny in boxing, would be EPIC, think old Pac would return and Margarito him.

I thought mcgregor fought the near perfect fight aside from the cardio. I just think the added weight is an issue, his optimal competition wieght is 155 as he displays the best cardio.

Mcgregor is a unique boxer (kinds reminds me of a mini Froch but faster) he utilizes angles and awkward reach positions. I bet mcgregor could be trained to be a decent boxer at 147

Obviously stamina in a boxing ring is totally different to mma.

Dude was open mouth breathing for a LOT of that fight. Surprised he didn't get stopped in round 3 or 4.

He was. He's going up 15-25 lbs to his natural fighting weight. Fighting a guy who's going for take downs and in the clinch is naturally heavier. The same thing happens in boxing.

Mcgregor has gone rounds at 145 in the past looking fit through 3 rounds (5 minute rounds) against Holloway and looked absolutely fine.

But he is muscle heavy and is built for KOs not decisions.

Some people just have awful stamina and no matter how much they train they just can't fix it completely. It's just the way some people are i suppose.

Some are the opposite. Look at Tyson Fury, he has great stamina but by looking at him you wouldn't think so.

Wlad fights MMA style and he didn't tire once against Povetkin in 12 rounds. Was just racking up points with sick ass clinches/grappling.

[Hype job]

He's also fighting a naturally bigger guy, grappling with someone naturally a division or so heavier than you would be draining as fck.
