Rewatched Nate vs con 2

[fatboy33]

I keep seeing this nonsense about how "different' Conor is than anything Floyd has seen.

Tell me, all the times Conor has fought anyone like Floyd Mayweather?

Conor is going to take an absolute beating.

i explained some of my reasonings in here on what makes Conor different:

https://www.boxingscene.com/forums/showthread.php?t=755223

conor is even training with superman punches (fake kick, throw punch) in his sparring for Floyd apparently. theres pics of it. that means he may possibly fake kicks to throw Floyd off guard. so many different factors that Floyd wont know what to expect. the fans wont know either. and you know the videos conor puts out are not the stuff hes working on behind the scenes

all that coupled with the fact that Conor is gonna one of if not the biggest and longest fighters Floyds faced. as well as the hardest puncher. also that wide mma karate style stance.

like i said, Floyd will have to adapt in real time without getting KOd. he will be safe if he survives the first 2 or 3 rounds and is able to figure out how Conor moves, then it should become easier for him.

but in within those first two or three rounds i am very confident Conor will KO him

dont be surprised if Conor puts his hands down or behind his back, starts talking ****, just to play with Floyds mind mid fight. hes crazy enough to do it because he does it in most of his fights. and hes not scared of Floyd

Conor is used to eating the loopy love taps of MMA. Now he's fighting someone with proper punch technique. He best take his falling down lessons right now. Can't tap when your unconscious. McTapOut. "peeleft:

This is BOXING. Real fighting with real punching.

ok?

whats that supposed to prove?

was asked why Conor is different and I explained why. super man punches is definitely an example of something that you dont see in boxing.

For anybody that thinks Conor's movement and unorthodox punches that he uses in MMA will work are foolish and missing the most obvious points. If he wants to land a shot, he needs to get into boxing range, simple as that. There's no kicking to keep your distance and there's no worry of being taken down or anything like that.

In a boxing match, if you want to set up shots, get your range, distance, timing, land your shots etc. then you simply need to be at boxing range using boxing skills and basically Conor has very little of that.

He can use all the capoeira movement or whatever else he wants, it won't make a bit of difference if he wants to land anything, he'll just be expending energy for no reason.

I don't really know how to score that sport but I felt Nate got the better of him

Good point. I wouldn't expect a UFC fan to be able to score a boxing bout accurately, or to even know what to look out for; the same is true in reverse

I've watched quite a lot of UFC but I don't really know what the scoring-criteria are tbh

[TheBigLug]

I thought it could have gone either way, i thought Conor edged it 3-2 but i only watched it live at the time.

Diaz cuts if you blow on him, so using how messed up he look is useless, a bit like Gabe Rosado.

Conor took a beating in that fight too.

The lie that McGregor is the hardest puncher Floyd has faced needs to stop. His hand speed isn't impressive either. Nevermind his complete lack of a jab and no understanding of how to control range

[jaded]

I thought Conor won 3 rounds...but it was closely contested. That was MMA...you can't really compare it to a boxing match for so many reasons but he was able to drop Diaz a few times who is much bigger than Floyd. Hopefully Conor has improved his stamina quite a bit otherwise he will have lots of problems...if he did and gets lucky maybe he can hurt Floyd and take advantage of it...that's his long-shot chance.
