IM SORRY BUT THAT'S A BUNCH BULL SHIEEEEEET.....If you're one of those cats who believe some of these black fighters "run". So you can see what REAL running is.
Rounds 3 and 5 and a bit of 4...The "Notorious" Conor McGregor literally turned his back and high tailed it in the opposite direction because he was gassed and didn't want to get mauled. THAT is running. To the point Diaz actually pointed and laughed at him.
It was shades of Broner/Porter for a hot minute.
Please don't confuse that with any of the stylistic presence of Rigo, or Crawford, or Floyd. Guys who stayed face forward while they lured their opponents in for counter strikes (aka sweet science).
Conor TRIED to do that and got served quite a few times for his trouble; thus resorting to full scale running.
As I said in the other thread, Mayweather stops McGregor inside of 6 rounds.
ESPN analyst at the fight had Diaz winning.
There is a difference between LITERAL RUNNING and PLAYING DEFENSE.
Floyd, Rigo, Crawford BLUR THE LINE A LOT OF TIMES.
Sure, they use movement but far too many times, they get away with LITERAL running and it gets passed off as boxing WIZARDRY by the al haymon crowd.
Floyd, Crawford, and RIGO ARE ALL GUILTY OF SPOILING TACTICS which includes LITERAL RUNNING as a defensive maneuver.
You want to know what real proper defensive technique and angles look like without the pathetic dishonest attempt to paint as "boxing wizardry"???
LOOK AT SALVADOR SANCHEZ.
LOOK AT LOMACHENKO
LOOK AT CHARLEY BURLEY.
LOOK AT ROMAN GONZALEZ.
Those are the real technique guys that dont run but actually use PROPER DEFENSIVE MANEUVERS.
Floyd to some extent andre ward (has gotten much better at not spoiling fights) do a lot of LITERAL RUNNING like Andre Dirrell vs Abraham where there is NO DEFENSIVE TECHNIQUE being shown other than LITERAL RUNNING AND SPOILING OF FIGHTS.

Idc that McGregor did that but say if Floyd did that in Maidana 1 people would be whining and calling him a runner.Comment

Seriously, there is no need to bring race to this debate.
i dont think its fair to call mcgregor a coward or a runner because a handful of times he walked away to take a breath. Do not forget he just jumped 2 weight classes (25 lbs) to fight a bigger man. All thoses muscles he added to his body are asking for oxygen and thats why he needed to come out with this strategy at 170.
As for Crawford vs Postol, Crawford had alot of side movement to counter Postol jab. I think it was a superb display of Crawford ajustability and talent.
Anyway i think it was pretty movement for Crawford and it worked out perfectly. For Connor, it was less efficient and pretty but needed to have a shot at Diaz. I dont think Conor really won this fight, it should have been a split one in favour of Diaz or a draw. But anyway im happy that he won, its better for the sportComment
