Boxing

Damn Conor should have taken it easier in the first rounds so you could have lasted the distance:yuno:

Sorry to everyone who followed my Floyd by decision prediction and lost money

Cmon man what boxing matches have been this good the past few years? The Mayweather Pacquiao fight* were garbage.

The last time Mayweather was this offensive was against De La Hoya, which was 2007

Cotto v Mayweather was better than this. Conor did a good job, but he doesn't have the defensive capabilities to go with a great boxer.

I knew Cotto was the gonna be the one you brought up but that was 2012 okay so best fight the past 5 years

Lomachenko sparring is more entertaining then this... Let alone every his fight.

Rigondeaux v Lomachenko and Golovkin v Canelo will hopefully cure this aids.

// Honestly like some kind of softcore porn with all the hugging and slapping.

did you see klitschko vs joshua?

This. And was just a few months ago.

 

[Universe]

Well. After watching that, my first feeling was wishing that fight had never happened.

Lesson 1) Dont get wasted if you want to pay attention

Lesson 2) I found someone with shittier stamina than me: MMA fighters

A 40 year old made a dude in his 20s pant like a hooker on her 5th client of the day.

Conor landed 112 punxhes, manny landed 86

Floyd did what was expected... Let him do his thing and tire out (very) early and then boxes the shit out of him. Good thing the ref stopped it though, any longer and he would have been on the floor.

I waited years and years to see Floyd lose and the fucker never did. Even though I said this would happen I was hoping Conor would pull off a miracle.

Considering he isnt a boxer, he looked decent and atleast did a better job than Hatton

Cotto fought today and was a better fight than this one
Five years ago Marquez vs Pac 4 was better too
This one was better than expected but I wouldn't say it was great

Yeah ya kent.

In all seriousness though, best investment seemed to be either that or TKO but the latter wasn't paying. Thing was I had a couple of beers and convinced myself the riskier bets were a good deal also, so there goes a couple of bucks again.

 

[Rasha]

He did well considering he is not a boxer.. would love to see if floyd would last more than a minute in octagon but thats another story..

Its all said already here.. this was another level fatigue by him.. didnt expect him to gas that much out

I reckon it makes both look like warriors. Two blokes putting reputations on the line, and both lose nothing from the result.

Im reading comments on facebook and i think the us really has some race issue. Really disturbing.

Sadly it has been getting worse lately my man. These racist cunts have gotten emboldened because of their ally and soul mate in the white house. It's a sad state of affairs recently.

But to be honest, that latent racism has been there for a long time in this country...maybe seeing this ugliness exposed can help lead to some real dialogue and policy change that addresses the deep issues. But who knows.

They will have it for life

It's completely different. MMA tends to be more explosive which is why MMA fighters do more weights and explosive activities. Boxing is different which is why they do more roadwork and skipping. I've grappled with boxers and they get tired very quickly too. Because it's very different and they're not used to that type of cardio. The squeezing, pushing, pulling, sprawling type cardio feels different from the ability to constantly throw and block punches.

I've never had a boxing or muay thai fight, but i've participated in training camps with guys who have and have gotten very "Striking fit", and yet felt like my grappling endurance was shit. And at other times I've been very jiu jitsu fit and couldn't spar for more than a 3-4 rounds without getting spent. And obviously getting ready for both is different as well

Also, not to mention Floyd's style is a far more energy conservative style than Conor's. Using a wider stance and switching stances regularly does get you tired. Lastly, Conor doesn't have good cardio in MMA either. He's struggled every time he has had a longer fight.

What happened to "Fook teh Maywetherz"? Was that 100 million worth it? We don't need a participation trophy. Pour que....Pour que Conorito.....

Yeah maybe. I've always seen cardio as just cardio without nuance, but that makes sense.

Thank goodness Boyo McGregor lost. Sick of him tbh.

"I made him fight like a Mexican" LOL fucking Mcgregor
