Comments Thread For: McGregor: There Are No Damn Leg Kicks In Boxing - Pacquiao Fight Was Happening

[Ca$ual Fan]

McGregor is welcome to go to boxing but I don’t want him anywhere near Manny. He will destroy Manny’s reputation if they fight. The match-up is a disgrace even for a 42-yr old legend. Even if the fight is just a money fight, it’s still an insult to the sport.

Mcgregor can go fight Broner or Horn. I’m all in for that fight.

I don't care what anyone says...I want to see Conor McGregor knocked out as many times as he'll let us see it. Its important to keep driving the point home to his idiotic fan base beating after brutal beating....he'll have very little brain matter left after a while. Its all good though...he can wash his wounds and gashes off with a couple of shots of Proper 12.

Why the hate?

I've never really been a fan of his, but I respected his ability in his prime in MMA. Why such hate?

Puncher fails without legs (which is actually what McGregor said about why Floyd wouldn't face him in the cage).

Poirier calf kicked the hell out of Conor. Took away his balance. Then bombed on him when he couldn't defend.

MCGREGOR would give sissy boy Mayweather a beating in a cage .

he actually sounds humbled in this interview, he knows he's done thats why, id say this was a shock to him, he expected to win, maybe his team around him was not the best

The calf kicks were definitely brutal and killed his balance, but he looked slow, heavy footed and plodding even early in fight, IMO. He looked that way against Khabib, too. He doesn't seem to be fast and agile anymore. It's like he's an old 32 years old.

This old man was limping and standing on crutches when he left that building.

No way he gets the Pac fight anymore

Reality is McGregor has 1 boxing "spectacle" fight left in him. He will lose against whoever he goes against if they are a pro boxer (Horn, Broner, DelaHoya, Manny, etc.)and then he'll cash in his money at 0-2 in boxing and be done with it. He would win against Youtuber Jake Paul and make a ton of money because of Paul's huge social media following, but I think McGregor has too much pride to take a fight against someone as inexperienced as Paul.

You mean shin? Yea i just saw the last few seconds of the fight whre he threw those punches at him. The cage is a different world, the guy trained to use his legs will most of the time beat the guy who doesn't know how to use them. That's the cage but the street on the other hand is a totally different world again, you won't see many people including experienced kickboxers use their legs when it comes to fighting on the street. It's mostly the guy who lands the first harder cleaner punch who's half way to "victory"

Then he needs to stop with the ufc and box full time

McGregor always fights that stance. He only looked "elite" against Gatekeeper Cerrone because Cerrone is dog slow.

The McGregor from this fight was arguably the same McGregor as Nate Diaz 2. Only difference is McGregor was able to run away more there.

You mean shin?

No, I mean calf. Poirier's kicks were basically landing right between the calf muscle and the shin bone, on the inside, which is a weak spot similar to the Achillies. The only reason it did as much damage as they did is because of McGregor's fight stance which engages that muscle, creating a target.
