Lol I came across this. I understand what you mean about playing the villain. This makes me wonder won't this have a backlash outside the ring when real people hate him and may do stuff even though that was just his smart business move he made.<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XHMQQPVGuTQ" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XHMQQPVGuTQ</a>
Mcgregor needs to talk about the beat woman failed relationships bad father thing lolol
ya i said that earlier. I don't want to see Conor do that, that's some horrible shit.. but, if he did, the woman-beating angle could end up getting under Floyd's skin. Don't think there's anything Conor could say, other than that, to get Mayweather to lose his composure out of the ring. Don't think there's anything he could say to get Floyd to lose his composure inside the ring.
Yeah I hope he doesn't go that route either. I don't see him doing it though. He has the crowd right now and they'd turn on him.
Mcgregor needs to talk about the beat woman failed relationships bad father thing lolol
It's funny how all this world tour is pure entertainment just to lure more viewers to buy the fight even though the chance's remain the same for connor to win at 1%, which is the punchers chance.
I enjoyed watching it but my opinion is the same that mcgregor has no chance. he has 0 boxing iq and mma movement and boxing movement is different, he will find it hard to get around the ring that floyd will be the one chasing while mcgregor on the backfoot but will fail and get beat up badly.
In terms of stimulants, im going to switch to nicotine patches or lozenges from ecigarrette vaporizers. Ecigs are destroys lungs, similar to real smoke.
I don't think ECIGS are anywhere near as bad as real smoke, but not of it is optimal. Are you gonna try get off the nicotine completely one day?
Yes indeed.
good luck man
Brilliant explanation adarqui about the boxing gloves with the 4 oz. v 10 oz. scenario.
This is the reason why I love this forum so much!
The UFC is a marketing machine and they do an excellent job at hyping their fighters. Remember a couple of years ago when they were talking up Ronda Rousey and saying she'd beat up male fighters and kick Mayweather's ass haha. I've said this on facebook when people have been saying Conor has a chance but in reality it'll be 12 rounds of Mayweather running circles around Conor and making him look stupid. I'd even go as far as to say that there's more chance Conor will get DQ'd than actually winning this fight or knocking out Mayweather.
49-0 against boxers who have spent decades training and perfecting their art and being the best of the best. This is just his swan song for going to 50-0 and having a final payout. Understandably in the boxing fraternity people are understandably angry that Conor has even been given this opportunity as everyone else has had to earn their way to the top and earn their way to fight Mayweather. Conor has just come in and it's a circus. Talk is cheap.
When it's time for business, Floyd will go back to being surgical.
I'm hoping mugurza (don't know spelling) wins the wimbledon. Also I think federer will win the wimbledon as I am not sure how the others will do up against federer.
I imagine what most people mean is "Conor won't have the same level of power". Boxing gloves are much heavier. I think they are using 10 oz gloves in the bout? 4 oz vs 10 oz is a huge difference. I've sparred with 12, 14, and 16 oz gloves. I'd never spar with 4 oz gloves. Hard sparring with 4 oz gloves instantly becomes a "real fight", every shot can cause serious damage (especially to orbitals etc). 10 oz gloves aren't that far off from sparring glove weight, and 10 oz is used in amateurs.
Actually, maybe it's like 10 oz vs 4 oz running shoes?
Most everyone on this forum knows how good it feels to put on some very light weight shoes and do some sprints, runs, etc.. Then you put on heavier shoes and you instantly feel more sluggish. Yet, these elite Kenyan marathoners are running in 8-12 oz shoes.. How the hell do they feel so good in such heavy shoes? Experience, IMHO. These guys, who look so skinny/weak to most people, are running consistent sub-5 min/mi for 26.2 miles in 8-12 oz shoes, 8 being "minimalist" to them. So not only do they have the lung capacity, mitochondria in their capillaries; they also have this incredible mastery of a heavy implement on their foot. Studies show you can output more force in heavier shoes up to a certain point, but tell that to anyone coming from flats/waffles.
To me, that's similar to the idea of going from 4 oz to 8-10 oz gloves in a professional bout. When you "feel fast" with 4 oz, have power with 4 oz, have timing with 4 oz, then you put on a pair of 8's or 10's & get in there with someone who has mastered 8's/10's (and even 16'z in sparring), the power/speed/confidence you had with 4 oz gloves is going to most likely suffer. Add that to the accumulated fatigue of throwing/defending/missing with heavier gloves, and you have a new set of problems.
If this were a "fight" (not boxing) with 4 oz gloves, i'd give Conor the edge, especially considering Floyd would probably break his hands within the first round. Floyd would not do well in the bare knuckle game, he's not physically built for it & his style is perfected/optimized for boxing.
pC!
But what size gloves do you think MMA guys spar with usually? Not 4oz that's for sure. That's just a recipe for disaster. Most guys will use 14 or 16's as far as I'm aware.
On a side note, I do love Joe Rogan's take on things that MMA should be bare knuckle. Makes sense to me.<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V7CYIhMW9KA" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V7CYIhMW9KA</a>
