A Case For Why Conor Hits Harder Than Expected...

[Rocky Rode]

none of those guys have as much natural punching power as Conor in the first 3 rounds. show me their KO % in the first 3 rounds.


none of those guys have COnor's reach either.

Have you seen Maidana's and Canelo's KO% in first 3-4 rounds? Almost all their knockouts are early. wtf does that have to do with anything? It didn't help them when they fought Mayweather.

Canelo has some of the best timing in boxing and outweighed Mayweather by like 20 pounds on fight night. That didn't help and Canelo is one of the best boxers on the planet

Maidana had an awkward style and some of the heaviest hands in boxing, still didn't help him

Thinking McGregor has a chance to KO a fighter who's never even been knocked down before is some ****** Skip Bayless type thinking. This fight is a waste of time

How can you compare KO% in MMA to boxing? In MMA any knockdown is usually a KO because you can hammer fist a guy laying on his back or even knee a guy in the face while he is in his way down. Conor isn't KOing guys like Julian Jackson or any boxing big hitter. He's simply knocking them down and then pounding them and he's doing it with 4oz gloves.

There is no way to say if Conor is a big puncher as a boxer, none. He'll have 10oz gloves and if he did knock someone down he won't have the chance to punch them anymore.

Bruh...

Nate is a 155 fighter. They fought at 170 because Nate was stuffing himself while on vacation and only had 2 weeks to train for the fight. Conor had a full camp. And Nate still choked him out.

After three losses in four fights, Nate considered making a permanent move up in weight to the 170 lb. weight class, stating "I don't make enough money to have to drop this much weight so I'd like to fight at 170 and only go to 155 every once in a while."[15]

A agree Connor has exceptional power but that's on a scale of normal people. Pro boxers power is on a whole other level. He will not hit Floyd but if he manages to, Floyd will laugh at his lack of pop after shrugging off shots from Oscar, Cotto, Manny, Hatton, Mosley and Maidana. I would say they probably have about 50% more power than Connor. This will be a literal outclassing so don't get your panties in a bunch come fight night. This will not be competitive. Floyd looks like he's not lost a beat in sparring and that's doom for McGregor.

Valid points.

Along that way of thinking IF Conor legit hurt Floyd or dropped him I think there would be a higher than fans might think probability he'd get himself DQ'd due to his "MMA reflexes" or "MMA muscle memory" saying to jump on a guy who's downed/hurt in a way that'd result in a foul in boxing, but is 100% standard in MMA.

I don't think Conor would legit use MMA tactics of clear mind, but I think in a legit hurt/dropped scenario the moment could get in front of him he could do something like that.

I also think when Conor gets hurt he could end up doing something that could result in a point deduction or a DQ cuz in MMA when you are hurt your "MMA reflexes" say attempt to take the fight to the ground. Look at the first Diaz fight when Conor was hurt & attempted a poor takedown to "save himself" from getting stopped/more hurt on his feet. Thats completely standard in MMA & is a tactic guys damn near can do when they are a millisecond from being put to sleep or almost put to sleep a millisecond previous to the attempt.

Thats one of the realities with this fight that could turn the fight into a huge sh^t show beyond what the people dogging or boycotting this fight think it could turn out to be.

For sure Conor is a frontrunner doe with almost all of his fights ending within 10 minutes. That being the case Conor's ONLY chance to win is early in this fight. Almost the earlier the better cuz the more a rusty, older, 2 years removed from boxing Floyd gets his timing & comfort in this fight the wider the longshot odds for Conor doing anything of note become.

Who has he sparred? It's all hush hush. He ain't a boxer is he, and if Floyd has anything left he'll punch the sh it out of him.
