Cyborg fought someone her size and age
Not someone retired and 25 pounds lighter
Not someone retired and 25 pounds lighter
did she say she would win in the first? did she act like a clown all round? did she have a lot of her believe in her bullshit? did she do it instead of defending her belt?
The three or four gifs out there for Baars show some good shots for her but that's pretty much what she landed early in the fight, Cyborg came on strong at the end, muscled Jorina around and landed shots of her own. And she won at least one round by most accounts. You just don't see the Cyborg gifs because these threads are always started by salty Ronda fans. Or a Conor fan in this case.I don't get the difference, Cyborg got utterly outclassed against a champ in Muay Thai- she survived to the end and had a few moments, but for the most part she got battered. It also wasn't her kickboxing debut. Conor went in against a world champion boxer on his debut, got outclassed but had a few moments too. The only difference was he got finished, but he did survive until the 10th.
Yet for some odd reason, most people talk about Cyborg's survival as some proof of her striking ability- since she was against one of the best kickboxers and survived, and would smash her in the Octagon. But Conor was just a lolworthy failure against an old man. Are people really this dumb?
Baars made Cyborg look like a clown. She exposed her for the striking amateur that she is. I don't give her any credit whatsoever.
Floyd was definitely past his primeFloyd was 40+ yrs old, had retired 2 yrs ago and hadn't so much as sparred a round in that time.
Conor basically called an old man out of retirement, sold the fight to the public and got paid.
True story, she gets a lot of stick for lack of competition and other things- and deservedly so. But when it comes to this fight, I always see her getting respect for taking on a champion in her own sport and being competitive.
You have no clue what you're taking about.Because she's a warrior and Conor is a talker / businessman.

Disrespectful how? I just stated the facts.Floyd was definitely past his prime
but this is pretty disrespectful to Floyd to be honest.
Love it. Cybor going for the same old looping arm punch she always throws. Her nuthuggers love to talk about how great she is, but from a skills standpoint, she's fucking terrible.This is the knee of death!!
well, he Is one of the greatest of all time. Greatest defensive boxer of all time.Disrespectful how? I just stated the facts.
He's over 40 years old. He was retired. He said he hadn't sparred even 1 round since retiring.
Watch the fight not a gif.Love it. Cybor going for the same old looping arm punch she always throws. Her nuthuggers love to talk about how great she is, but from a skills standpoint, she's fucking terrible.
Cyborg lost, and Baars outclassed her. Cyborg has size and strength on people, and that's it.Watch the fight not a gif.
