Yep trying to hit with his palm.He even whiffed his illegal blows. GOAT hands.
glad to see you're still bitter and delusional.Glad to see you finally got some air.
By concentrating on training for Floyd he honed his strengths while also neglecting to address his weaknesses.
Bitter... can you parrot more. Whats next? Bum, dork, or changed my life? Lol at you silly kids.glad to see you're still bitter and delusional.
It cant hurt.
Just as long as he keeps his unorthadox style and doesn't try and box 'traditionally' moving forward
Nope, Conor trained no grappling for a couple of months, just boxing. Grappling is still going to drain him, just like it always hasMMA is my favourite sport, but you can't deny the hand skills of boxers are light years ahead of MMA's.
His biggest weakness was his cardio, I think preparing for a fight like this he'd have learnt to control himself a lot more.
If Conor learned anything new in training for Floyd, it likely came from new sparring partners that were actual boxers. I’m not saying Roddy sucks, but he doesn’t seem to be anything special as a striking coach. To admit that they didn’t plan to get walked down by Floyd reinforces that point.Conor came in with that one shot knock-out mentality and Floyd let him use all his gas trying to find it, so you may be right here. I don't think he took much away from the fight in terms of what he learnt but what he learnt building up to it.
Conor IS boxing.....Poking at OP term with Conor's precision only to whiff badly in that gif sequence even having Floyd lined up, sweet science baby...
Conor IS boxing.....
Which is better, this or Ronda's shadowboxing?
That fight should have never even been sanctioned. I get the whole money thing....but that was bad action.Heh. He talked his way into that fight, earned insane figures off doing so. Anyone who watches boxing could tell he had no business being in that ring as far as the actual fight goes.
An embarrassment for boxing in my opinion.That fight should have never even been sanctioned. I get the whole money thing....but that was bad action.

Anyway, any MMA opponent that tries to stand and bang with Conor in the first two rounds is not very smart. Conor already had an advantage in boxing that should be minimized, and if he’s improved, that’s even more reason to attack his weaknesses and avoid boxing.
He expected to tool Mayweather the same way he did to the likes of Alvarez but learnt quick that it doesn't work that way in boxing lol. Some of his timing was on, but it would take a lot more than one flurry to win a boxing match.LOL no he didn't! What the hell were you watching? Conor was scared shitless to throw any real power punches because he 1. didn't want to get countered and 2. doesn't know how to throw power punches without loading up on his backfoot and launching himself into the punch (which would get him countered by a good Boxer). Conor threw a bunch of powerless arm punches. It looked like he was trying to win a decision or just not get finished

I really don't think he thought he would win. Conor is not stupid. He knows he can't win the counter game against Floyd like he did VS Eddie. And his lead punches were really weak arm punches that were never going to get him a finish. It really did look like he just wanted to not get finished and be "competitive"
But who knows what Conors game plan was. Floyd did his home work and knew Conor hates being walked down. Floyd kinda ruined Conors chance to even show what his strategy was when he took Conor out of his comfort zone by walking him down
