Extended sparring footage between McGregor and Chris Van Heerdan

[IronDanHamza]

Poor. Just really poor.

So many glaring weaknesses.

I think Conor is going to be startled once Floyd starts landing lightning fast shots in 10 oz gloves. He'll be like wtf was that. Kind of like Oscar when he couldn't see Pac's punches coming

Chris Van Heerden, from May 2016

- "Conor can fight. [But he lacks the finer points of Boxing]. I would honestly say if Conor McGregor can focus on Boxing, 3 or 4 month training camp, mainly focus on boxing, Conor can shock a lot of Boxers by what he can do."

- "I think honestly, a very honest answer from my side, I think Conor could do well [in Boxing]... you know what he's very good at is his timing, precision and timing, with his left hand. Polish it and it just might cause problems for a lot of guys."

Directly after the sparring session in the ES News video he clarified by saying not top level pro's, but shyt mid level gate keeper types. Which I agree he could probably beat some of them.

That was not good.

First and foremost he looks very slow. Klitschko throws shots faster than this guy ffs.

Technique and stance terrible for boxing....

He is not a boxer. He is an MMA fighter and a top one while at it. He's hard coded for MMA he's not going to become a boxer in a few months.

He looked much bigger than Chris too, so he was walking him down, with those gloves it's hard to keep a bigger man off and the ring looked small.

[The Ox]

Easy work for Floyd, I've seen better technique outside the local on a Friday night

[iamboxing]

he looks pretty decent, he might actually land a punch

[Scary]

Anyhow he ****ing beats Mallignaggi.

[Hougigo]

It's still Chris Van Heerden... he's fighting Floyd Mayweather....gonna get washed

It wasn't bad, though.

Chris Van Heerden (over a year ago) - "Let me answer this, 'Can Conor McGregor Box?' Yes. I never knew Conor actually had a Boxing background, yes he can. I was shocked as how well he can handle himself in the ring. You can immediately see that Conor has got a Boxing background and that he knows how to use his hands. Yes, Conor can Box.... If he transitioned into Boxing and merely focus on the standup game and his footwork... you know what, you can see the background of Boxing, he's got that Boxing ability, he does have it."
