Dana White releases Pauli KD vid

That is MMA, where Nate is a legitimate MMA fighter that is bigger than Conor who didn't prep either. We saw what happened when prep time was put in the equation.

A controversial split decision?? Lol He's bigger but they both compete at LW? So does it matter that Connor was bigger than everyone at 145? No it doesn't, it's just an excuse you use to spin to your rhetoric
 
Nearly everything Conor does is bizarre and it's to create openings that are traditionally not favored in boxing over the traditional defensive advantages from them.

Lots of boxers have different styles, but they are largely from the same platform. Very rarely are boxers overly unorthodox and when they are they are called out on it until it becomes successful.

Conor doesn't do absolutely anything bizarre. Every punch he throws is thrown very often in boxing. Every stance, every movement, can be seen in boxing. Whatever awkwardness you might detect in him comes from the fact that he is fighting guys who are not great boxers, that«s why he can get away with certain things.

Post an example of something Conor does that we don't see in boxing.

It wasn't a split decision and it wasn't controversial.
 
Boxing purists are too stuck in the entrenched dogma and orthodoxy of what skilled boxing looks like to see the reality of the situation - McGregor is a special talent, one who has the ability to compete with boxing's best using a unique style that is totally foreign to typical boxing fundamentals.

This is why they think he looks "slow" and "amateurish". The truth is that he is neither of those things, but he also doesn't punch like a typical boxer. His striking is extremely accurate, fast, and powerful. It just doesn't look like typical striking.
I think there is a lot of truth to this. I have thought this for a long time, but could never write it as well as you.

Something something nexus.

You see Mr Thompson....It cannot be absconded, it's deep inside of you and you will have to make peace with it. The gaping secretes the longing of your narrative. Allow the mucus to clear, and the musk to invigorate the senses...
 
After just seeing the video I understand the confusion. Conor summoning his internal qi force to make Paulie fall.

That definitely didn't look like a push down.
 
Paulie was probably super concussed after 12 rounds and had no idea what happened

What was controversial about it? Whether round 3 was a 10-8 because Nate landed some pitter patter shots against the cage that were proven to be mostly rolled with if not completely dodged?

And it does matter because they were fighting at open weight. A 155 Nate Diaz is different from a 170 Diaz, if you can't see that you're an idiot. Likewise a 145 Conor is different from a 155 Conor. A 170 Conor is just fatter, and it shows with the extra bulk that people actually were stupid enough to think was muscle put on in a few months time.

Nates also a good boxer. Has a place in professional boxing too. Maybe not at the top top, but better than a lot of guys I see. The fact is Conor put it on him. People need to get over it already.

Quit getting butt hurt over sparring drama, it's not real.

There's a reason Dana released it, he's got an agenda
Dana White released the footage because Paulie Malignaggi was destroying interest in the fight by making delusional claims about the sparring sessions. Dana White has helped to bring balance back to the discussion.
 
Paulie said it that Conor's camp is free to post whatever. When have you ever seen a fighter put out promotional material of them sucking/struggling? That's marketing suicide FFS. The whole point of these vids/pics is to excite ppl into thinking Conor ACTUALLY has a chance.
Do you ACTUALLY think there is 0 chance McGregor lands a clean left hand in 8 oz gloves on a 40-year-old?
 
Should have put this up yesterday, They would have been all over sports talk shows
 
Paulie says Conor dragged his head down so that was the "shove".

I mean, maybe I can buy that, but it doesn't change the fact that he got hit pretty clean in that second video. Conor shouldn't be landing shots like that on you.
