Study Of Khabibs Failed TD Attempts

[lsa]

Your technical analysis was a textbook example of the illusion of knowledge. You clearly have no actual understanding of striking or combat sports and you speak from the perspective of a fanboy who 'educated' himself off of youtube videos. Your "analysis" wasn't worthy of a drawn out counter argument because your lack of pugilistic knowledge is blatant to anyone who's actually trained or competed at even an amateur level. You're the kind of dude who watches DBZ and goes outside and tries to summon a spiritbomb.


*Edit Also just realized you're a huge troll lol nvm

But dude he writes walls of texts, uses gif and is named ProLogic.
Are you telling me its all a lie

 

[PROlogic]

LOL I think we all have done our fair share of Kamehamehas and transformations.

Newton, Jones, and Brimage are pretty big fans of DBZ too.

Haha these are facts my brother

Add Kelvin Gastelum to that list !

Btw, do you watch Super? Mastered UI Goku was the shit


PS

I go Super Sayian when I do a breakdown and educate a hater or 2 cough @MEAN357

 

[C0NCH3TO]

mcgregor is 5’9”, Romero is 5’10 and Rob is 5’11 whats the big deal?

 

[ArtOfDrowning]

All that is nice in theory but you need to defened 100 TDs because Khabib will keep on going after them over and over and over.

Conor doesn't have cardio for it. He might defend in first round but in second...

 

[Pakman]

I can’t wait for these threads to die. Conor fanboys are legit the biggest group of AIDs this site has ever seen. Far worse than any Fedor, Anderson, or JBJ nuthuggers.

Every time I read something like this I cringe. Half the threads in this forum are from Conor haters. Every fighter that's worth supporting has crap fans and good fans.

 

[SOAzmayesh]

He's 1-1 against 19-11 Nate Diaz lol. He squeaked by in the rematch while he was tapping for his life in the 1st.

Talking about great records and all....

He didn't go for a takedown because he got the life choked out of him when he panic wrestled the first time. Are you seriously saying that Conor of all people could've wrestlefucked Diaz to an easy win?

Nate got outstruck by both RDA AND Bendo and beaten up on the ground.

Those two looked better on the feet against him than Conor did while also being far better grapplers.

I never said Khabib was a better striker than Conor lol. But RDA and Bendo wasted Diaz on the feet and on the ground, far more easily than McGregor did.

Haha one gif = must've won the fight!!!

Now show some of Diaz's highlights you stooge. It was a majority decision that many felt he deserved to lose. Khabib will destroy McGregor even easier than he did Barboza.

1. Aldo got emotional and Conor capitalised
2. Eddie would lose to everyone in the LW top 5. He deserved to lose against both Melendez and Pettis, he was the worst champ in UFC history.

Proof that the haters are worse than the nuthuggers.
Do you even ufc bro ?
Lol

Fought 145, trained for 155, 155pulled out, nate was asked but couldn't make 155 and asked for 165catchweight, mcg said not to bother with Catchweight an just do 170.
That's 145 to 170
Any surprise the dude gassed?

Fk me, you haters are dull and dumb lol.
Go have a bath with @Theproof
He talks as much shit as you lol.
Bout "if only the fight they trained and signed to fight was different rules and arrangement then it would have ended differently"
Lmao
Retards.

They are bad, but I think it's actually the haters who are worse.
Every mcg card, it is the haters who fill the boards and threads.

Proof?
This thread.

 

[Frode Falch]

Conor pulls out. Ferguson steps in. Ferguson eeks out a wired sd... Ferguson is a much easier matchup for Conor.

There it is folks

Haha Tony is Conor's worst nightmare. Khabib wont be a close fight. But its 50/50 who dominates who. So Khabib is a much better fight for conor

 

[Pancake Sprawl]

@Pancake Sprawl



You guys don't know much if you genuinely believe Conor is nothing but a "basic pull counter"


First of all, the ways in which Connor sets up his pull counters are very very highly advanced even by elite boxing standards

I will just name a couple methods of Conor's (there's many more)

1. Via leadhand control to shut down the jab hand and draw out the right hand response

2. Via various forms of distance deception

-Conor leans his head forward to appear as a closer target to Nate's jab hand, naturally drawing out the jab from Nate, Conor pulls back and then counters. Such one fluid motion from Conor in going from his pull instantly to his counter.

3. Via using lateral steps and educated footwork to create angels for his pull counters and line up right hook combos off the pull

Conor takes side step to his left to take an angle, counter with the left from a safer position defensively then right hooks into it off the angle. Again Conor showing off that REAL skill based boxing footwork/angles/IQ/countering skill


It's like saying Floyd is an over rated BASIC boxer, because all he does is land pull counters vs orthodox, and right leads vs southpaws etc


And regardless here is Conor hitting more types of counters

Conor has all kinds of slip counters. He can slip and counter from the inside, outside, pull back etc. In that gif we see Conor hit an inside slip to parry down overhand counter on the much taller Nate while making both of Nate's 1-2 responses miss. Absolutely sublime countering by Conor.

Those were examples showing just how diverse a counter puncher Conor is. Now here are examples showing how complete and diverse Conor is as a whole striker period

When leading how he uses advanced leadhand tactics/ rhythm manipulation tactics to set up combos etc

Just think about how amazing that truly was to do that to Holloway

-Lead hand probe, lead hand probe, condition, switch tempo, then go underneath Holloway's leadhand with a lead leadhand uppercut to a step out to the outside angle to line the left straight down the pipe. Sweet Jesus !

You can blindly name drop all the MMA strikers you know, you wont be able to find me examples of them ever showcasing skill like that against anyone half as credible of a striker as a Holloway (and its just one of hundreds of examples from Conor through out his career)

Conor is also an educated body puncher who has a great clinch game, and clinch striking who flawlessly transitions between from and each like no other

-After Conor jab feints to open up body punching combinations, Conor TIES Nate up and smoothers him. Conor has now KILLED off any possible offence from Nate

-After Conor ties Nate up and stiffles any possible return fire, Conor then breaks away on his terms. Conor then lands beautiful devestating punches on Nate on the breakaway

Conor's striking to grappling to striking to transitional skill/IQ IS impeccable too

Its those body punches from Conor which DRAINED Nate and allowed Conor to dominate most of the championship rounds

Also Conor's educated jab work (which he mixes up with his fienting systems and leadhand game.

Look at how Conor is always changing up the speeds of his jabs, shooting his jab from different positions like down low (uprising jab), and always mixing up his jab with fients and lead hand probes. Now that is TRULY EDUCATED jab work by elite boxing standards. Conor has an actual elite jab game too. Conor is nearly impossible to ever read or time everything he's doing

It's a shame how under appreciated Conor truly is.

It's remarkable how genuinely special Conor is...he has the footwork of Lomachenko with the lead hand game and countering of Floyd, with the foot speed and left of Pacquioa

Conor is truly a Marvel to watch and study

Yet so many take him for granted and discredit something genuinely legendary in Conor's incredible next level skill sets


Conor is the greatest boxer, counter puncher, striker MMA history has ever seen at a championship level

It's not even debatable

Conor is truly the most wholey skilled, well rounded striker in MMA history. He is elite from all ranges and all positions with all weapons.

When it comes to the full embodiment of who most encompasses pure skill based striking and immaculate fight IQ, there is no one on Conor's level, and it isn't even close

Hating newbs like @The Blob @Mysterio @migeru29 can't appreciate Conor's greatness because they don't know anything about fighting

"The UNeducated eye can not comprehend the brilliance of Conor McGregor"

Thoughts gentleman
@MescalineDreams
@That209
@markg171
@Dbreiden83080

boxers do all of those things all of the time and are much much better than Conor at doing it.

i know, you're gonna tell me i'm full of shit and Conor is a god among men and he can do no wrong, but i'm just going to say my piece and leave it at that.

just because i said Conor McGregor is basic, doesn't mean i'm saying he's basic by MMA standards, i'm saying when MMA nerds act like this is some mystical philosophical science shit, it's not. not by BOXING standards, which is the GOLD STANDARD for hand attacks.

Conor McGregor does not do things that are unique to only him, those are standard southpaw tactics that he uses.

and just because i say Conor is basic doesn't mean i'm talking shit on him. you know who else is basic? Bernard Hopkins.

the genius in his style is not that he's extraordinary in techniques or innovative in his attacks. the genius is in the intangibles. his timing, his distance control, his calmness, his ability to psych his opponents out, his ability to rise to the occasion etc., those things are the things that are unique to Conor. THAT'S the real thing that makes him a superstar.

not his extraordinary boxing skills.

 

[PopeUrbanII]

One failed takedown = One KO for Conor.

 

[PROlogic]

boxers do all of those things all of the time and are much much better than Conor at doing it.

Point me to all the boxers utilizing distance deception methods to create their counting opportunities like Conor does?

If it's so many, then you should be able to list plenty

And nooo....

standard southpaw tactics are simple things like taking the outside feet positioning and getting the outside angle etc

I bet you dont even know how Conor in fact will give up the outside angle as bait to lure an opponent into a counter.

Another example of how sophisticated and advanced Conor is by actual boxing standards. Using conventional wisdom as bait to set up...that's definitely not common southpaw tactics

The way Conor uses his leadhand as a sophisticated radar system plus has a sophisticated fienting system is also anything but common

Seriously, just go read my breakdown. Conor does in fact have actual legit boxing skill by elite standards. FLOYD HIMSELF SAID IT...Floyd>>>you

 

[Doomfarmer]

Please stop toting the Barboza win as this huge and incredible feat.

 

[MMonk]

Barboza has better TDD

Conor has far superior boxing, and Edson has far superior kicking. Conor has the edge overall because he has a better chin imo. He's not a "much better" fighter than Edson, I think Edson kicks Diaz's legs off easily.

Diaz finds that glass chin of Barboza easily.

Conor has better movement, timing, precision amd power.

Smart movement jab and KO treat are primary TD defence tools.

Defensive grappling comes in second, especialy against Khabib.

 

[Drugstore Cowboy]

Conor's TDD is not even as good as Barboza's imo (statistically Edson's is higher as well, no surprise there)

Khabib will make this look easy.

Shut your fookin mouth

 

[The Blob]

Shut your fookin mouth

Haha this proves that all Conor fans believe whatever they see on YouTube videos and cheap articles

Lmao you played yourself son, your false idol will get destroyed and humiliated

That is a non argument bruh.

These are facts of what happened and how things work in reality.

I don't believe in videos and articles, I believe in what I saw and practiced.

You haven't practised a thing in your life, ya fat slob. I doubt you can run down a hallway without puking.

[basedworld]

Point me to all the boxers utilizing distance deception methods to create their counting opportunities like Conor does?

Like Broner did to Demarco ?
Like BHOP , Floyd and lara ?

 

[PROlogic]

Like Broner did to Demarco ?
Like BHOP , Floyd and lara ?

False.

Bhop doesnt utilize distance deception often

Broner is a bum who's never beaten anyone elite

And Lara utilises distance deception not in the leaning forward but in his lead feet plus his stance where his head is further away from his body

Lara will keep his back leg planted and step his lead foot closer to the opponents lead foot to make them think he is closer then he is, to set them up or draw them in

And suprise suprise Conor does the same thing too


Pay close attention to the gif below how Conor takes a subtle step forward with his lead foot (while look at how his back foot is planted maintaining his range)

This makes Alvarez think Conor is closer then he is. Conor utilising another form of distance deception to make Alvarez miss-read distance

Alvarez feints a level change. Conor sees it a mile away (btw, notice how Conor half-cocked an uppercut. Conor was prepared to counter Alvarez's level changes with uppercuts)

Conor now simply pulls back his lead foot to normal (notice back foot still around same distance through out). This draws Alvarez out for another attempt. Alvarez drops levels and tries to go up top with an uppercut off of it (very Mendes-esque)

Conor readys his back foot, plants, slips to the outside and counters with a cross face elbow

This is just world class boxing skill+footwork+defense+countering skill by Conor. Absolutely SUBLIME!


So we have Conor utilising various forms of distance deception

Not even Lara has that much variety in his set ups (like Conor does)

I've shown you example after example after example of Conor doing things that only the most elite of boxers have made apart of their game....and yet some how Conor doesnt have legit boxing skill by boxing standards?

Sorry but you have no idea what you are talking about and dont really know much about boxing

The fact you only listed those 3 names tells me you are a casual who's just dropping the only names you've heard

Floyd himself said it, that Conor has some real boxing skill
