Nate vs Conor 2 proved that when they're both fresh, Nate can't lay a glove on Conor & gets lit up badly when he tries. Nate's really good at a lot of things but his #1 asset is his chin. Anyone else would've been finished inside 2.
joe rogan praising conor mcgregor after watching edited footage of conor boxing a retired paulie malignaggi in the 12rd round; you would think he learned his lesson after worshiping ronda rousey but no "conor has magic." didn't see much magic against khabib, care to eat more of your words joe?
the “u fkn serious bro?” look schaub gave when joe was riding on nates jock was priceless. like wtf are u talking about joe? nathan got destroyed and his life shortened
retired out of shape paulie goes 12 rounds with prime conor mcgregor, joe watches edited footage of paulie in 12th round and immediately says "he's beating the shit out of him." how about you ask for the full footage before jumping to premature conclusions. remember what joe said about ronda “We always like to use that term once in a life time, once in a life time does not apply to Ronda Rousey. It’s once ever in human history. ” - Joe Rogan
People keep saying Paulie "2-time World Champion" like he's a good boxer or something. Paulie never once beat a single legitimate champion. His two best wins were over guys with 8 losses each. (8 losses is a lot in boxing.) Paulie is a B-level fighter at 140, a C-level fighter at 147, and at this point he is retired and out of shape and against a naturally bigger man like Conor you can't expect him to be ANYTHING special.
Richard Hurtz Is that fact? I could see the mayweathers not allowing Conner another shot but mayweathers reputation would be destroyed if he loses so i would have thought they made sure he could get a rematch just in case.
That's why Conor is a fair bet. EVERYONE makes way way more money if Conor miraculously sleeps him. If it's rigged, there's only one direction to rig it.
I thought Nate saying he went down on purpose was bollocks. But then I listened to the audio of his corner, And it does SEEM to back him up. Still gave Conor the fight 3 rounds to 2 though.
If Nate has that 15-20 lbs off him for light weight one of those shots sleep him or put him down enough for McGregor to get full mount. The third bout will end in a stoppage.
Paulie malianagi has never been a defensive wizard. He's been a punching bag for the last few years now and on top of that he was in there out of shape against a guy who was in tip top shape. In boxing they switch out sparring partners for fresher ones. nobody cares that he beat up on a punch drunk ex boxer.
Typical Joe Rogan...Never brings up key topics of a fight, He didn't even mention the fact that Nates Sumo wrestling and 40 pound difference was a clear advantage over McGregor ...😒😒😒
Nate with the magic 35lbs lol. Nate really should be fighting at 170, at 55 he's still good but his chin is not the same which is why he got stopped by josh Thompson. Plus Nate was not as good back then as he is now. When he came back and fought michael Johnson his boxing and counters were crisp. He had a second wind in his career at that time period. If he were to fight an actual welterweight now I honestly think he could do some damage. He would just need to work on his takedown defense because a lot of guys just want to lay on top of him. Look at how cerrone was tearing through welterweight, I think Nate might be able to. His chin is so much better up there and I think he should really take a fight up there and wait for Conor to come back and maybe they can fight one last time at 55. He's looking pitiful right now since he ain't taken a single fight and is all up mcgregors ass right now.
James Miles Dude are you serious. The 1st fight Conor got rocked by a 1-2 and choked out. 2nd fight Conor barely won with a majority decision. Diaz even outstruck him in the 2nd fight. I dont understand how Conor kicked his ass in both fights.
Smae Lop what fights was you watching lol,watch them back again mate,mcgregor absolutely smacked Diaz around in that first round cut him up badly,then he gassed out because putting everything into the punches,that's when Diaz 1-2 him and won't say choked him out mcgregor quit let him choke him because he was fucked,and for second fight mcgregor embarrassed him for first two rounds dropping him loads times rocking him and badly cutting him up again,Diaz had one good round where he gassed again but none them shots was landing hitting mcgregor shoulders very easy second fight,
James Miles lol are you delusional enough to believe all those punches were just hitting his shoulders. Do you remember the end of the 2nd round where Conor was stumbling trying to run away from diaz. Diaz was getting hit but at least he could take the punches. Conor was running away every chance he got. If anyone was getting embarrassed it was Conor. And stop saying Diaz won the 1st fight just because Conor gassed. Do you believe the only reason Conor beat Mendes is because Mendes gassed. Youre acting as if it takes away from their win just because they have better conditioning.
Smae Lop no im not taking it away from Diaz first fight he won fair and square Conor thought he gassed out,but that fight lasted 8 mins 7 mins that fight was Diaz getting a pasting simple,second fight you definitely watching different fight number one mcgregor smashed him about first two rounds dropping him at least 3 times maybe more,so nowadays new rules your looking at 10-7 or 10-8 rounds,yes Conor gassed out in 3 Diaz was throwing lot punches but where you get mcgregor was all over the place stunned hardly any them landed mcgregor started beating him up again next round because he was running away to get he's breath back that's called smart fighting,
What round it was does matter. A guy who's out of shape and has been retired for 2 years...he has no business sparring 12 rounds on day one against an in shape world class athlete. People are making too much of it. If he really dominated, paulie wouldn't have been around for 12 rounds. That clip is just a promotional tool and it worked to a tee on rogan.
Kaergaard what am i making excuses for exactly? Him getting hit with a good shot...the non existent knock down? We won't really know what happened unless we see the entire sparring session unedited...not the conor mcgregor highlight package. I mean why bring in an out of shape, retired, blown up 140lb fighter in the first place? That's not the type of work he needs to prepare for a serious fight at 154lbs. Convenient that it was a guy who talked a bunch of trash about conor before and also very unusual to set sparring up like a 12 round fight with a referee.
mightConsiderThis January 25. isnt 2 years ago - he talked shit, got beat, now he makes excuses. I dont care about the reasons for the fight, he showed up and now you treat him as if he's a kid that didnt know the game.
Kaergaard you don't know he got his ass beat...neither do the rest of the people lapping up this hype and parroting what dana white says like they know it with certainty. If it was anything convincing or impressive, we'd be shown more than 30 seconds of 12 rounds. It all needs to be put in proper context is all I'm saying.
U watch one 10 second clip of a 36 minute 12 round sparring match n he got his ass kicked? Let's see 2 or 3 full unedited rounds, besides that let Paulie get in fight shape for 6 weeks n spar 12 rounds again. Guy was out of shape retired 140lb fighter n McGregor couldn't finish him, but he can beat Floyd?
He took like 3 steps in the other direction then started fighting again.youre going off that picture that went viral instead of watching the fight properly
1 big punch landed against an old malinaggi and these guys getting excited. They sparred more than 12 rounds wtf that was probably best punch conor landed.
no he didn't. tbh I believe Malignaggi he seems pretty genuine. If this was a knock down, which it aint, why the fuck it cut so short? and don't see the aftermath. He couldn't even have been hurt just lost balance. What a joke trying to sell the fight.
You know what the only thing I dont like about joe is he is a very baised announcer and he is biased with alot of things he says he needs to stop picking sides and be a real announcer ive heard him announce a fight and talk about every single punch one guy landed but the other guy was also landing but he didnt say anything about that then the guy yoy could twll he liked got knocked out shocked the fuck out of him and now he is being baised with nate diaz saying he may have fell on purpose sure wtf ever did you not see nates knees buckle
No idea about boxing this Joe he landed a straight late in a spar against a fatty. Mayweather is 40 but he trains in an art form that's been around alot longer than McGregor's discipline plus Mayweather has practiced since he could walk. McGregor is cool but his fighting doesn't impress me at all hes just faster than the guys in MMA because they are all slow. But doesn't have world class speed. A 40 year old Mayweather is going g to make McGregor look slow in both foot speed and reflexes
Mcregors power has been in MMA it's not boxing jon Jones is the only world class fighter in Mma. All best athletes combat sports are in boxing there's shitloads of them
Joe Conner dominated the second fight with nate. He was dropped 4 fn times and was kicked into near submission! Concert landed the better shots, more shots and who has the worse for wore face? That's the dumbest thing I've heard you say. Conner won quite possible 4/5 rounds of that fight. They were close no doubt but Conner won!
I know it's not likely, but if it just so happens that mayweather knocks out mcgregor......I really cannot wait to see what excuses these two come up with to defend mcgregor.
Waste Man most likely that's what there gonna say..but all I've been hearing so far was " Floyds 40 though" .. "Connors the one with the knockout power" .." Floyd does not have ko power" .. and according to these two before the fight even happened it doesn't matter that this is Connors first boxing match and floyds the greatest defensive boxer of all time you know why? Because " Connors not a traditional boxer.....he's unorthodox " ..so either way even if it just so happens that floyd ko's Connor there gonna look extremely hypocritical and bias if they end up using that excuse.
There's no shame in loosing your first boxing match. Now imagine your first boxing match is against the greatest ever. There's no need for excuses if mcgregor gets destroyed it's what should happen,he had the balls to go over to another sport,something that Floyd will never do
