Joe Rogan- "Connor wasn't even trying to hit that hard."

Rogan saw what I saw.
I saw both fighters pulling their punches trying not to hurt each other. Look at the result, did you see blood, did you see any bruising, did you see any swelling, did you see any red marks?
It was fraud all the way to the bank.

I remember a few years ago him saying that UFC fighters were way more skilled than boxers, even though Brock Lesnar went to the UFC from pro wrestling and won their HW title within his first year in the sport. He gave Conor a good chance to beat Floyd and was saying stuff like he has fought tougher guys etc SMH.
In general I like Rogan and his podcast is good but his boxing knowledge is pretty awful. He shouldn't run his mouth about something he's not educated on at all.
Now, he's no boxing expert but he's never said MMA fighters have more skilled hands. I've quite literally heard him say this exact quote. "Of course boxers have better hands, muay thai practitioners have better kicks and knees. Wrestlers have better takedowns and BJJ guys have better submissions but MMA is about putting them all together.
It's so ******ed when people on this site say how poorly skilled MMA guys are. No ****. If you are a boxer... You train your hands every day for hours. If you are a mixed martial artist you probably train your hands 1/5th of the time. Not to mention your stance has to take into account defending takedowns, checking kicks. Let's go even further, you can barely block due to the 4oz gloves. You can't really use to much in terms of parrying due to the takedown threat, knees, kicks etc.
Rogan has had to explain this countless times on his podcast. That sounds like someone who knows that an MMA fighter won't ever be as good a boxer as a boxer.

Schaub was talking about how Floyd said Connor wasn't that hard of a puncher.
Rogan interjected with " But Connor did not look like he was putting a lot of power in his punches."

But yea Joe actually is a big boxing fan does it the sport justice with his admiration he's been showing for Loma and others recently on his podcast. Schaub is what you call a Mcgregor fan in the the most derogatory way possible. He really makes UFC/MMA look like ****. On the Podcast today he said how he couldn't watch the ending of MayvsCon fight because it was too hard to watch (he was a Showtime broadcaster ffs) and that he didn't watch Rocky movies.
