Please watch Diaz/McGregor 2...

[deathofaclown]

he doesn't get tagged a lot? His face has been an oil painting after both diaz losses + the mendes fight he had one cut, that was it.

When he gets tagged, with 4oz gloves, he smiles and walks forward.

Make no mistake, he has a granite chin and Mayweather's featherfists wouldn't do anything to it.

He can take a shot, there's no denying that but in UFC he's being tagged sporadically due to the nature of how they fight, which is maybe why you think he doesn't get caught a lot. But from the amount of punches thrown in that game, he does take quite a few flush.

You have to remember that In boxing it's focused on just punching, more punches are thrown with greater accuracy and more skilled boxing. So he would be getting hit a lot more and probably not landing much back due to his far inferior boxing skills. Eventually he would be broken down. If he was stunned, he would have less time to recover in boxing and he'd be being peppered with shots as his opponents are not worried about kicks coming back, takedowns or anything. I don't care how good a mans chin is, when the skill levels are that different, there's only so much a man can take.

So going by that, I think a top level boxer with pretty decent power would do him within 3 rounds for sure.

I disagree.

He got tagged quite a lot by Diaz, especially in the first fight and his legs were going when he got tagged. But that's not the point anyway...

There were 200+ significant strikes landed over 25 minutes in that last fight. Pretty common over a 12 round fight in boxing.

And no he doesn't get tagged a lot. In the first diaz fight his headmovement was perfect until he gassed, then took 2 1-2s before shooting.

With all fairness, that wasn't the same running people accuse Floyd/Rigo/Lara of. McGregor ran for ~3-5 secs almost to either take a break or to reposition himself. Then he would go back to standing toe to toe.

McGregor ran for a total of ~20 seconds during last night's fight. When the boxers run, they spend half an hour running.

He would gas within 3 rounds in boxing anyway and get stopped.

His engine is awful. Imagine his stamina when he's in there with a guy who is far more skilled than him. He would expend a hell of a lot of energy trying to match them for skill and chasing them around like an amateur that he would be gassed and get stopped.

So either way, he wouldn't last.

sure he would. Because boxing has such a frantic pace right?

Do you know anything about either sport?

Going 5 rounds at that pace in an MMA ring is like doing 100 rounds vs Mayweather

Nonsense. You know nothing and have obviously never had a fight in your life.

It's not just about the pace. It's how you use up your energy. Besides, he was gassing after a couple of rounds last night and that was not a frantic pace at all. The only time the pace picked up was in the 3rd round when he started gassing and Diaz started having success.

In a boxing match, he can't exactly try to be patient and outbox a guy on the outside who is more skilled at the sport. Instead he would expend a lot of energy trying to be busy and get through to someone with superior skills. It wouldn't work because the levels in skill are too different and he would gas.

I must have dreamt those 25 amateur fights I had



The bold. I'm done with this guy. Haha. Knows absolutely zilch about MMA

Just because you had 25 amateur fights doesn't make you an expert though.

And no, the pace of McGregor v Diaz II was not really a high paced fight until around round 3 when McGregor gassed and Diaz picked up the pace. There was barely any grappling or anything until round 3, if any. Conor was just throwing a few punches and kicks for a round or two and gassed out.

In boxing, he would still expend a lot of energy trying to make up for lack of skills in boxing by being more aggressive because he wouldn't be able to box with a boxer, and then he would gas. If you can't see that, then i understand why you didn't last more than 25 amateur fights.

[MDPopescu]

If you're one of those cats who believe some of these black fighters "run". So you can see what REAL running is.

Rounds 3 and 5 and a bit of 4...The "Notorious" Conor McGregor literally turned his back and high tailed it in the opposite direction because he was gassed and didn't want to get mauled. THAT is running. To the point Diaz actually pointed and laughed at him.



It was shades of Broner/Porter for a hot minute.

Please don't confuse that with any of the stylistic presence of Rigo, or Crawford, or Floyd. Guys who stayed face forward while they lured their opponents in for counter strikes (aka sweet science).








Conor TRIED to do that and got served quite a few times for his trouble; thus resorting to full scale running.

As I said in the other thread, Mayweather stops McGregor inside of 6 rounds.

ESPN analyst at the fight had Diaz winning.

Conor marked Nate Diaz up broke his nose, had his gushing blood, FLoyd didnt mark up his opponents like that. Conor gassed and turned and ran to get distance to recoup thats a lot different than running the entire fight off the back foot trying to counter a guy smh

Conor was trading blows man, so you focus on the few times he ran out to catch his breath smh.

I seen some MMA fights where the guy literally back stepped all night and refused to engage throwing air jabs like Floyd, Conor vs Nate was a war, yet you focus on the few times he turned and ran hahah seriously just stop this is called reaching.

So basically you just said that using movement to counter for 12 rounds is not ok but hitting someone then literally turning away and running in the other direction when the other guy is mounting an attack is ok? That's just a primitive version of what Floyd does, but it's ok?
