MayMac The Prequel: Boxer Destroys McGregor's MMA Rival In Pro Debut [VIDEO]

[GrandmasterWang]

A top MMA guy, Mike Perry, made his pro boxing debut in 2015 against Kenneth McNeil, only to be toyed with and stopped by the 6-1 prospect. Like McGregor, Perry is known to be a high level puncher in MMA with the majority of his MMA wins coming by KO via punches. Perry fights in one of the same divisions as McGregor but they're yet to face each other, although calls for the fight to be made continue to this day. Many within MMA circles believe Perry would beat McGregor.

A sign of things to come? Does Mayweather vs McGregor end up resembling this..?

Lost me at a top mma guy.

Perry is probably most remembered in mma for getting beaten up by a male model.

[W1LL]

Who de fook is dat guy?

I didn't know both of this guys before watching the video, still don't know who they are. But after like 10 seconds i could tell who the boxer was and who the MMA fighter is. The stance, the movement of the feet, the throwing of punches, the head up in the air etc.

Haha i was about to post this post, almost verbatim.

why so many ropes?

[Johnny2x2x]

why so many ropes?

To make sure the MMA guy didn't fall out of the ring after getting KOed with a wide angle looping shot that any boxer would have slipped or caught easily.

Is he really an elite fighter? hard to believe to be honest, watching this bum's fight gave me aids. I've unlearnt a couple of things about boxing by watching that ****. I know amateurs (more than one amateur, I mean) that can beat the hell out of this bum, dude.

You can see his punches coming from the moon, and the way he shoulder-rolls without shoulder-rolling is utterly ******. He could better cut his legs too, he wouldnt notice anyway. What a piece of crap.

No.

Mike Perry is a 170-pounder.
Conor is a 155-pounder, and 145.

What we in 'mma circles' believe is that smart, top-level wrestlers with a chin could beat Conor.

When Conor goes back to MMA, Tony Ferguson beats him, Khabib beats him, Frankie Edgar beats him... Nate Diaz' teammate, Gilbert Melendez beats him... even outside of the UFC, Micheal Chandler from Bellator beats Conor. Even Chad Mendes at 145 in a rematch might beat him (with an actual training camp this time).

Mike Perry is a KO-artist, who's limited. He's an entertaining prospect so far, but there are lots of 170ers who can and will beat Mike Perry.

You got 27 posts and you slurpin McGregor in every one of them. We know why you're here lol.

weird how the UFC fighter only started exhibiting a bit of head movement about a minute before he got KO'd which was when he had his best moments of the fight and the even buzzed the boxer with a neat left hook.

I suspect he would do better in his next boxing match tbh. He somewhat grew into it. He looked genuinely crap at the beginning.

I suspect May/Mac will resemble this fight tbh.

It should do, let's be honest.

If not then Mayweather has let the sport down. No point sugar coating it. And I am certain Conor McGregor just like this dude would make incremental improvements every time he stepped into a boxing ring.

They're professional athletes and in Conor's case he is an elite combat athlete. But improvements can only ever be incremental. It's not a movie.

Calling it now: Tons of people saying Conor got robbed because he was the aggressor, and the aggressor always wins the rounds...all Floyd did was "run" so he couldn't possibly have won that fight.
