What Do You Think of Floyd Changing His Style?

[jay543]

What do you guys make of the fact that Floyd didn't move on the outside at any point in the Mcgregor fight?

Did Floyd intentionally walk forward without foot movement to his detriment to make the fight entertaining?

Did Mcgregor neutralize Floyd's ability to move around the ring with his length?

Was Floyd just too old to move like he used to?



It was clear with all of the "This isn't how Floyd usually fights... This looks bizarre... Floyd is completely flat footed..."
That Floyd didn't fight how he usually does in the other 49 of his professional fights.



What do you guys make of that?

I think the fans were much happier with this version of Floyd. The only reason he fought like he did was due to the level of his competition.

floyd sucks as an aggressor esp when reach does not favor him

[DeathWish]

Stupid fight. What's stupider are the people analyzing this garbage fight. Forget about that "fight " you just watched...

Bring on GGG vs Canelo !!!!

Floyd always has the ability to walk his opponents down.. you see it in his sparring all the times. He just saw Conor was very susceptible to it.

BS stoppage!!! Conor had him right where he wanted him!!! He was about unleash that chi on Floyd's smooth shiny bald ass head!!!

Floyd was trolling. Welcome to boxing. You think accuracy just randomly increases and has the novice retreating being picked making errors? Welcome to the charade. Don't be suckered by theory. It was an event for $$$

This. He doesn't throw combos like he's 22 anymore. It doesn't suit him. Always looks out of position

It was fake @ https://www.boxingscene.com/forums/s...d.php?t=756734

He didn't do it to be entertaining. He did it because he's not fast or sharp enough anymore to stay on the outside against McGregor. He knew walking forward with his hands up that it would panic McGregor into throwing shots that would tire him out. He sucked up a bit of punishment and then took over. Good gameplan but he wasnt great tbh. Timing was off and accuracy was poor. Father time has gotten to him.
