Floyd would have KO'ed Connor in the Octogon

[RA-Box]

I don't see anything that Connor does in the Octogon that would have changed last nights result.

His punches were weak, he was doing that shiiity hammer blows bull**** too without being warned and it didn't faze Floyd at all.

His takedowns and submission game is weak. He was the weaker man in the clinches.

So what does he have that would really set him apart in the octogon. Kicks? Elbows. I'd say Floyd is better with elbows than Connor.

That just leaves kicks. Give Floyd 2 months and to train blocking kicks and takedown defense and that's that.

4-ounce gloves would just make the same TKO come quicker.

Lmao he would take Floyd down with ease, especially since hes so much bigger
Connor may not be great by MMA standards at takedowns/submissions, but hes definitely good enough to take down FM whos never had any take down defense in his life.

i agree

round 1 ko

i think just about any boxer with 50% power can ko conor in mma...

[HanzGruber]

If he was smart he would just take down Floyd. He wouldn't know how to defend all that crap and kicks. But yes his punches are weak as ***

[Lomadeaux]

I don't see how you'd want to see that primitive level of fighting.

[IronDanHamza]

It would be interesting to see but more than likely he get's kicked, taken down and finished quickly.

But if Floyd were to land a punch with those little gloves he might KO him.

But realistic chances of that I would say is 5% or less.

[Larry the boss]

no...just no...

lol, sure. Give Conor some due, he came out of his element and gave it a try. Retrospectively, I can't say I can imagine Floyd winning the first 9 minutes in the octagon. I think the transition would be harder for Floyd, especially with no background in it at all. I would hate to see him even try.

What Conor did was a commendable effort, **** stamina tho, just awful. Otherwise I like his attitude, he seems to recognize that's an issue and that he needs to learn how to fight a guy coming at him like that. This was good payday for the guy and an incredible learning experience if he's willing to take from it. So I actually think Conor can become a better fighter from this.

No way. There's also clubbing punches, take downs, hitting while on the ground, chokeholds, slamming opponents, etc.

Lets not get crazy now. In the cage all that stuff where Floyd was ending up with Conor behind him woulda been fight ending choke sh^t or throw Floyd to the ground & ground & pound him into submission sh^t.

Conor vs Floyd in the cage would look far less competitive then last night looked cuz there are more things coming at Floyd that Floyd has no clue in the world how to defend or avoid. And that'll be the case more often then not cuz fighting in the cage is like a nation going to war with an army, navy, air force vs just an army. More options = more weapons to find holes in your opponents game.
