Comments Thread For: McGregor Hints That He Might Resume Pursuit of Mayweather

Of course he's talking about conditioning, that's exactly what 'energy expenditure' is. He expended all his energy AKA ran out of gas.

He was throwing every shot looking for a knockout and ran out of steam, his preparation was not correct for Diaz the 1st time.

bro, your trying to argue about something that isnt there. conor himself even said it was the game plan. why are you trying to dispute this? the man we're talking about here even came out and said so. why do you think he ran out of energy? because he went in with the WRONG GAME PLAN! LOL.

"I feel I was simply inefficient with my energy. Usually I fight a man in the division I am champion in they crumble under those shots but Nate didn't. The weight allowed him to take those shots well... With the bigger man, you must be more efficient with your striking. You don't put everything into the shots."

"His range was a factor. My left-hands were falling short sometimes.

"My wheel-kicks... I feel my wheel-kicks weren't... I threw them and missed or, once or twice, maybe hit a glove. I think they did more to my energy than they did to his

"I enjoyed the fact that someone could take the shots and keep coming.

"He kept his composure. He went into auto-pilot mode with the shots. His face was bust up.

"I went into panic mode. There was just a shift of energy and he capitlised on it."

That's the point.

You said he only stands by his talk when he's winning, when he quite clearly did the same after a loss.

Are you reading what you're writing?

what the??

i was pointing out to you that what he predicted before the fight means nothing because he predicted he was gonna beat nate the first time and that didnt happen.

"being more efficient with my engery"

means knowing when to throw and when not to throw, which goes back to the game plan. lol.

why do you act like he was out of shape or seomething?

he gassed out the first time because he thought nate would crumble like all his other opponents and when that didnt happen, he fell apart because he wasted all that energy already. which goes back to the game plan. why do you need me to explain this to you?

What moron would pay to see this? Can McGregor shut the hell up? He rolled around better than Diaz did, be happy. Why mention Floyd?

I'm genuinely not sure if you're being funny or intentionally ignoring what you're reading.

The game plan IS part of the preparation, HE THEREFOR WAS NOT PREPARED FOR DIAZ ON SHORT NOTICE.

Being conditioned for a fight at 155 is not the same as being conditioned for a totally different opponent at a weight 15lbs higher.

He had a full camp to prepare this time; that means a full camp at 170, a specific game plan for the opponent, a different breakdown of training styles within camp...that is what preparation is, neither guy can have proper preparation on 10 days notice.

Seriously, take a minute to actually read this and think about it.

And you said 'he only does that when he's winning'.

Clearly that is not the case, he did the exact same talking in the media when coming off a loss.

Nothing changed. He was the same person, doing the same talking, making the same predictions; win or lose.

i swear!!! i think you need some help to check that head of yours out.


you could be in the best shape of your life, but if you go in wasting it all on nothing, then guess what? your gonna run out of energy!!! which all goes back to the game plan!! your trying to bring in what you think is the problem but conor even said so himself that he needed to pick his shots, he said those spinning wheel kicks didnt work, what do you think he means by this? the game plan didnt work! lol!!!!

i think you need to sit back and re-read this over. even after quotes from conor about how he wasted his energy and that he was doing moves that didnt work and your still here trying to argue that he wasnt talking about the game plan?

[WesternChamp]

no, i said he didnt wanna attend the press because his whole image was based on talking shit to his opponents. i said he wasnt able to do this after losing to nate.

you brought up that he predicted he was gonna drop nate, cut him, and win.

so i said he predicted the same thing in the first fight. predicting is not talking shit.

this dude smoking over due crack.

so conor went into the ring gassed already right?

why do you think he gassed??? just answer this. he was in fighting shape right?

he didnt gas this time, not because of conditioning but because he knew now not to go in and throw everything he got. which goes back to the game plan!!!
