I'd really like Frankie to drop to 135 finally, he looked tiny against Ortega and he really doesn't have a lot of options at 145 anymore anyway. A rematch against Cub doesn't do much for me, either.

he's got great movement but it's like he has little power versus UFC level competitors. They keep talking him up like a knockout dynamo but 2 of his 3 fights so far have been pretty underwhelming. he got outworked badly in this one and when his legkick gameplan clearly wasn't working vs Ware he just kept trying to force it with no backup plan while getting soundly outstruck and outgrappled

He's not a Sage Northcutt or PVZ type of UFC prospect. Edit: He's like a disappointing Thomas Almeida. Tezcatlipoca fucked around with this message at 15:30 on Mar 21, 2018 |

Snowman_McK posted:Hey, hey...Floyd threw 18 punches. So we agree Conor won a few rounds, it literally doesn’t matter that he won them because floyd did nothing, floyd had to do that in order to win late. There is a reason Floyd didn’t try to just go in and knock Conor out quickly—he wasn’t physically capable of doing so and had to strategize and gameplan to beat a guy who had literally never done his sport before. Conor got hosed up the last 3 rounds after he was gassed. As a lifelong boxing fan and 20 year mma fan I was extremely impressed with Conor’s performance. Rewatch the first round. When Floyd actually tried to throw his first punch Conor slipped it and hit him with a quick combo that made him realize he was in a real fight would have to try to win. I was impressed with Floyd’s strength in the clinch, i had figured Conor would be way stronger but that didn’t seem to be the case. Even though he gassed hard, I was also impressed with Conor’s cardio. He nearly went 10 rounds with the supposed best ever. Pro Boxers aren’t even allowed to fight 10 rounds until they’ve fought several 4 and 8 round fights but Conor went right in at the highest level and held his own until he gassed, long after an 0-0 fighter should have been in there. In fact, had the commission followed their own rules, the fight would have been a 4 rounder and likely looked very different. Floyd would be forced to trade early while Conor still had energy to evade and counter instead of pouring it all on when Conor was exhausted and staggering around like a drunk. The revisionist history of Floyd let Conor win rounds keeps getting parroted by people who hate Conor and don’t understand fighting in general. Conor did better against Floyd than DC did against Jones and Aldo did against Holloway. And those guys are legends and champions, Conor was 0-0. The gap isn’t as big as you think. Overall mma looked really good versus boxing even tho the entire thing was setup in Boxings favor. What would Conor have had to do to impress you? Win the biggest upset in the history of sports? R-word.

You're dumb. Floyd clowned Conor and could have finished that fight any time he wanted after the 3rd round. None of us hate Conor but as a lifelong boxing and 20 year MMA fan you have a pretty lovely grasp of how that fight played out.

tes are you opining that Floyd might have lost a 4 or 6 round fight against Conor? What do you mean Floyd "had to" not throw any punches the first few rounds so he could win late? Do you think Conor would have tired before he did if he were dodging shots from Floyd for the first three rounds? do you think that by Floyd essentially letting him take 3 rounds off his longevity in the fight was improved or hampered?

sorry folks. Floyd is pursuing his mma license to fight in the UFC and Conor is the current lightweight champion. this discussion is just as germane to real ufc fights that are going to happen as khabib/TF.

Win the biggest upset in the history of sports? R-word. Actually look good. Instead of having to go to compubox to prove that he looked good. Not gas out in round 3 Not have one of the most risk averse boxers walking him down throwing haymakers because he was in no way scared of him. Not get finished by a guy with no finishes since 2006. By the same token, what does the fight look like where you don't say 'he did better than expected'?

My coach, who I call Master for normal reasons, told me to shut up and refused to throw in the towel while I took the most horrendous beating seen in the octagon in recent memory because it would have been worse for me if he had. Reminder that with his selfless inaction I cried every day for three weeks and won't fight again for a year or maybe ever.
