I think Floyd either took his manhood or fucked his mother. His levels of hate seem crazy.
I just loathe scammers.
I felt like Mayweather handled himself with class. No need to give him crap honestly. He did nothing but say good things about Conor afterwards. He knows how to exploit the rules, hes a turtle. Nothing wrong with that, if boxing wasnt supposed to be that way then the rules wouldnt reflect that. I like Conor too, but anyone who thought he had a chance outside of his own sport is living in a fantasy world. Its like hoping the 49ers can win the world series. Makes no damn sense. Its spectacle.
Been on vacation, now that the circus has left town. Letās talk some real boxing. GGG vs Canelo. Who you got?
My girlfriend even likes him and she doesnāt even really like boxing that much but she likes watching his fights. We took an Uber back home from the airport the other day. The driver was Russian, he said āthat GGG is almost from his country and heās loves him.ā
Canelo got more experience and I think that will be the deciding factor.
Canāt count out GGGās Ippo like power though.
I have a few Kazak friends and apparently heās the most famous dude in the country.
More than borat and too hot for volleyball
VAMOS CANELO
Borat was actually filmed in Romania
GGG will beat Canelo. Caneloās cement feet wonāt be able to stay out of GGGās wheelhouse, and GGG also has the better jab.
Didnāt Connor call out Floyd? I mean they both made good money. Connor knew he couldnāt win. And flours has no interest in doing mma. He makes way too much. Connor should just be happy he made more with this fight than heās ever made in UFC.
Anyone else hype for GGG vs Canelo? I know I am.
The best part of ggg fights are the body barrage he unleashes in the 4th and 8th
Golovkin just shutting dudeās vital organs down off the rip
He breaks faces, ribs. Pretty much anything he touches. Blocking wonāt help in this fight. Use your feet and donāt take unnecessary punches. But GGG is amazing at cutting off the ring as well.
Golovkinās pressure and corner control comes from his suppressive footwork but mainly from his raw power. I noticed even when blocked, once he gets a clean hit with one of his punches they instinctively start fading back when he ambles side to side.
Earlier I mentioned Conor possibly having a low genetic ceiling stamina~wise and I think thatās definitely the case. Why? 2 words- Ricardo Mayorga.
Hereās a boxer who smokes at least a pack a day, treats the bar like his second home, sloppily trains and was still somehow capable of throwing haymakers for 12 rounds straight. The dudeās a straight up mutant.
Even if McGregor didnāt do enough cardio or roadwork by boxing standards it still wouldnāt account for him getting gassed in 4 rounds.
The thing that makes me pretty sure GGG is gonna win is that the one thing Canelo has going for him, is that heās a power puncher, and weāve all seen GGG take some pretty hard punches and keep going. GGG is like a smarter, faster, more powerful version of what Canelo is right now, and if anything, Frazier/Foreman is a good reminder what happens when two fighters with similar styles go toe to toe. The one whoās better at it wins.
Iāll be surprised if GGG knocks him out but if it goes to decision, I donāt see Canelo coming out on top.
*I think Canelo is a smarter and savvier boxer. Triple G has downright unfair power, great footwork and underrated defense (when he commits to fighting defensively).This is a true 50/50 fight that I give triple G the slight advantage due to them fighting at 160 which is not a catchweight plus the terms of the contract when it comes to re-hydration. *
Adrenaline dump
I kind of explained it. Happens in boxing and mma. But in boxing guys with experience account for it with technical precision and perseverance. They tie up. They clinch. They back up. They lean on the guy to avoid further damage.
Adrenaline dumps are bad during a fight and usually happen to guys who think they are winning so they unload.
Connor did not fight accordingly to the dump and it is hard for guys to comeback from it
Especially against floyd who never looks tired and will eat a haymaker and just fight through it.
People underrate Floydās chin and his pressure.
But hey blame his cardio. Cardio donāt fix heart or fight iq.
I really want to see Connor fight ferguson or nurmagamedov
Connor gassed out because itās simply his first time going against someone who has boxed for more than 20 years. Connor has not gotten used to the stance in boxing; the knowledge of trying to take your time right before blowing yourself up ( time limit in UFC is shorter), moving around a wide squared circle, etc⦠It was pretty much like a hockey player facing a pro soccer player at soccer, or getting a tekken player and making him face Chris G in UMVC3.
Hey, can you guys imagine if Tokido just randomly made his UMVC3 debut against Chris G? And Chris G gets all his props from his fans for āBullet hellingā the shit out of Tokido? Imagine if Chris G answers his interviews with āwell, heās a tough competitor, i just took my time, I stayed focus, worked really hard⦠wired some cash to the judges JIC!ā Weād all go āTokido? a guy who doesnāt actually play UMVC3⦠really nigga?ā
I get what youāre saying but I also took @thurstās observations into account regarding his fight against Nate Diaz where he also tired out fairly quickly. So it could be that his MO is fighting full strength early either because itās his preference or realizes he has stamina issues.
This isnāt discounting your adrenaline dump view, but trying to make sense of it, since itās clear he doesnāt only tire out quickly in boxing.
Itās also a heart issue
He thought he put Diaz away, but didnāt. Diaz clocked him and caught him
In the rematch Connor adjusted and won in 25 minutes
If mcgregor canāt establish himself and gets thrown off course he cannot come back.
First fight he got rocked and went to the ground with a superior grappler
It was more be got rocked and went for a takedown on a guy who bates for takedowns
The rematch was connor using his point karate moving in and out and using leg kicks
