How come Conor claims to have power but in reality he's a pillow puncher?Hello there. Before the MacWeather fight I came over to this forum to talk to yall about our respective sports and the fight in general hoping to garner some interesting insight and also answer some questions you guys had about Conor and MMA and what have you.
Now that the fights over I am back again!
Ask me anything you want about how the MMA fan base took the lose or how we viewed it and I'll ask the same of you guys.
I'm from the underground Forum which is the biggest MMA forum on the net.
In general we are pretty god damn happy with Conors performance, most of us didn't think he would win and some of us were even more agressive about his chances than that.
I for one thought he would put in a good performance and maaaybe if the stars aligned knock floyd out which is what we were all hoping for but also I knew the reality was that he had an insane task ahead of him and it was probably more than he could chew.
Ask me anything.Comment

How is Brendan Schaub viewed in the MMA community? And did his d*ck riding leading up to this fight change opinionsComment

Thats how he chose to box Floyd. I think he knew throwing big power shots would make him gas even faster so he was probably trying to time floyd with shorter shots to open floyd up to countering but floyd never countered until he was already tired.
It was stratagy for sure. If you don't believe he has KO power Fly to dublin and let him hit you.
He puts guys in the UFC out from all kinds of angles.
If it makes you feel better about your sport though then by all means pretend he can't knock people out. I'll be over here pretending Floyd was scared and we would both be idiots.Comment

I like him. I think he's funny and entertaining. Do I agree with everything he's ever said... No infact I quite often disagree. But that's fine.
He has earned the right to his opinion on fighting.
When he was active there were only probably 30 guys on the entire planet in any sport or just in general who could possibly beat him in a fight so hes got more clout than most, and no none of them are boxers.
AJ would get it, so would parker or who ever else there is HW boxing wise.Comment

Ok, I'll rephrase. By boxing standards Conor is a pillow puncher with no powerThats how he chose to box Floyd.

Come on man,
"I'm gonna knock Floyd unconcious within 4 rounds, I'll knock him out in 2 rounds, I'll knock him out in 10 seconds!!"
"With 8 oz gloves I don't see Floyd making it past 1 round!"
"Floyd can't handle my power, he's too small, too old, too frail!!!"
And you're telling me Conor changed his strategy to be a pillow puncher after all that?
Wouldn't the best way to ensure you won't gas be to throw your hardest punches to knock out your opponent early?
It sounds like you're saying he chose to pace himself to try to win a decision against Mayweather, and ended up gassing anyway?
It was a leading question for sure but you still made me laugh

He is used to being the fastest and most accurate and powerful guy in the octagon. So he just goes in and destroys guys with his boxing. Its literally what he made his name one was knocking guys the **** out and predicting when he was gonna do it.
He knew he wasn't going to be able to just tee off on Floyd, He's very smart and all that **** talk about knocking floyd out was to get in floyds head, Conor plays the mind games hard, REAL hard, like as hard as Ali did.
I' highly doubt his stratagy was ever to just go in there and tee of on Floyd with haymakers from the first bell...
Come on man you just fell for his sellComment
