Conor dominated r4 vs cardio freak Nate.Khabib GASSED rd4 vs a real estate agent.Conor=better cardio

[Rea_ctor]

I'm on board TS, sherdog won't be, but I sure am!

 

[Franklin U.]

Conor is 0-1-1 vs. mediocre lightweight who got ragdolled vs every top 155er.
We could do this all day. I favor khabib but a small favorite at that - Conor more than capable of hurting khabib and khabib more than capable of grounding mcgregor and putting it on him .(referencing iaquinta fight is fool's gold and still 50-43-d him.)

 

[Zefram Cochrane]

Agreed. I read TS post and was like

It's not bait. It's boxingislife's Nth account.

Connor has striking cardio

He does.... 8 hefty minutes of striking cardio

 

[Cpl. Cam]

List some fighters who could go toe to toe with a Diaz for five rounds and land the harder/cleaner shots while dealing with a height and reach disadvantage.

Well, considering everyone else in the division can take Nate down...

 

[Uncommon Valor]

Sometimes, I click on shit threads just to watch people tear apart the OP.

True dat.

Conor has far superior cardio to Khabib

...and Conor is the one whos actually more likely to win a decision too

Conor is undefeated in decisions and has never lost on scorecards, which includes dominating wins over Holloway and Nate, both of whom have far far better cardio then Kahbib


Even if Khabib is somehow able to survive the striking clinic that Conor is going to dish out, its not a forgone conclusion that Khabib can just "outlast Conor" and start to "take over"

Not even cardio freak Nate was able to accomplish that (Conor dominated round 4)

After watching Khabib vs Iaquinta we now know that Khabib does NOT have the cardio to ever beat Conor.

Meanwhile in contrast, Khabib GASSED hard in round 4 vs Iaqunita

Now replace Iaquinta with Nate and imagine Nate in that same situation starting to pour it on Khabib.

Replace Iaquinta with Conor and imagine Khabib exhausted in that same round 4 against Conor now (Conor always comes out fully rejuvenated in round 4) Khabib gets finished with ease in that round 4 against Conor (IF Conor doesn't already KO Khabib within the first 2 rounds with ease)

Another thing that favors Conor is that Khabib is NOT a finisher on the ground nor really ever actively peruses subs

IF Khabib is able to survive all the early knockdowns from Conor, and eventually manages to take Conor down, guess what. Conor can survive on the ground. Khabib's smoothering style and preference for control actually suites Conor and allows Conor time to work/hold on until the round ends (or get back up)

Now every round starts standing. In that scenario, now imagine it goes to round 4 and now Khabib is the one whos gassed. Conor is the one whos more likely to dominate Khabib under far many more outcomes (in under 2 rounds, or in round 4 via finishing a gassed Khabib or win the decision over gassed Khabib)

It's Khabib who literally only has a wrestslers chance against Conor

Once you ignore all the paid for Khabib hype and Khabib propaganda around Khabib, and start to more objectively break down the fight, you will start to realise how Conor is actually Khabib's worst possible nightmare match up brought to life.

Conor's counter punching/distance control TDD based footwork/neck framing to shut down shoots & clinches/clinch acumen is all wrong for Khabib. The writing is on the wall.

It's Tony who's the "tougher match up" for Conor. Conor still smokes Tony, but he just won't smoke Tony as easily as he smokes Khabib

All the banwagon hype fans putting money on Khabib are going to make Conor one of the easiest "under dog" picks in history. Easy work. Easy money.

Khabib is the male version of Ronda Rousey. Consider Conor the Nunez to Khabib Rousey

you act like winning a round against nate has never happened before. he has 10 losses. he has been finished twice. but yeah well done conor for winning a round, absolute world beater, no doubt

 

[Dionysian]

TLDR: The guy that obviously wilted in 3 of his last 4 fights has better cardio than the guy who has never gassed. The gems from Conor fans...

 

[ftpngo]

Would of could of should of. Conor being ducking Khabib for years. We get fanboy narratives instead of actual fights. Conor is retired. Until Conor signs to fight stfu.

 

[Benoitthegr8]

Conor fans.... lol

You're just stupid.

 

[chuckleknuckle]

List some fighters who could go toe to toe with a Diaz for five rounds and land the harder/cleaner shots while dealing with a height and reach disadvantage.

Condit, GSP, Hironaka, Karo, RDA, Henderson, Maynard, Guida, Stevenson, Oishi.

Probably loads more.

Don't cry.

 

[Spath]

Waiiit.... you think Conor dominated Nate?

Majority decision, 48-47, 47-47, 48-47. Clearly dominated. Conor’s nickname should be the dominator!

These threads are worth it just for the laugh. The above is so ridiculously funny.

 

[RemyR]

Just want to point out that his cardio will drop big tome if Khabib takes him down.

Look how tired he looked vs Mendes.

 

[bigconan]

Khabib didn't gass lol. He was maybe a little tired, but he didn't gass. Conor on the other hand looked like he was drowning on rd3 of the diaz fight.

(coming from a conor fan) Khabib's cardio is better. Not MUCH better but better.

But did conor win round 4 or not? That is the point of this thread....conor was able to over come his temporary cardio lapse in round 3.

 

[bigconan]

Conor gassed after 3-4 rounds of boxing, Khabib is still strong after rounds of grappling which takes way more cardio.

but yet went 10 rounds...go figure.

 

[bigconan]

Both have questionable gas tanks, but ufc 178 Conor , idk why he doesn’t move like that anymore . But that version of Conor vs porier isn’t going to need 5 rounds . The movement accuracy and set ups were unreal. Almost wonderboy like . I really wish he fight like that before .

He stopped fighting that way, you mean the spinning kicks and such? in the first nate fight, he did all that...but all that did was tire him out...so he learned..
