You're the best, Mr. Slack. I thought your written pieces were impeccable but hearing you speak and getting a chance to experience your unedite opinion makes me feel like I know you. Or at least you know your audience enough to speak to them like they're an actual person. I wish you were on the fight companion with Rogan and Bravo.
Please do the GGG vs Canelo on primer the same style, with videos and gifs. It's a perfect way to break down the fight and I would love to see that kind of breakdown about that fight.
Jake Lamotta may still do public speaking but he's certainly not lucid. there's an interview he did a few years ago where he told the same joke about Fighting Sugar Ray so many times he got diabetes (yes the same joke he's been doing for over half a century) at least 6 times and even stopped after about the 4th to ask if he'd already told that joke. Although when he's in his 90's it's hard to tell whether that's due to CTE or just going senile.
Conor will show us how far his boxing has come along with the Diaz fight. Otherwise he'd need time to readjust to MMA. Diaz is a good fight to transition back from boxing, the fight would mostly be boxing. I'd say Diaz, then the real #1 LW contender. But he might retire after Diaz tbh.
43:35 I think you're making a great point, but we also have to remember Schaub played football for years before fighting which is just as bad as fighting when it comes to head trauma. Plus his positions (linebacker and tight end) are exceptionally brutal. He's spoke about taking multiple concussions while playing, and in American football there's usually 2 or 3 undiagnosed concussions for every 1 that's confirmed. There's a strong "just walk it off" culture in that sport, or there was until very recently.
Hahaha much respect. I always appreciate funny, plus analysis.. Only thing more that can be added if possible is frames or fight footage. Otherwise insightful commentary.
Jack, UFC has tried to book Nate against a slew of opponents, but he is just not interested in fighting. I believe Tony Ferguson even called out Nate before the Khabib fight. The other points about UFC lucking into a lot of their recent success and screwing up divisions is totally on point.
Russell Mora also let Fernando Montiel continue when he had caught the Holy Ghost on the impact and had a fucking dent in his skull. One of the worst refs going.
I don't understand Conor's strategy. It's like he was so worried about his weakness, cardio, that he never focused on his strength (except for 1 or 2 tries).
+JR Lonergan Not one time during the Corrales fight did Floyd straight up walk down Diego. He respected Diego's power, with Conor he barely moved his feet
I noticed Conor really didnt put anything on most of his punches, probably worried about cardio and energy output. Conor really gonna have keep upgrading his wrestling now i feel whoever he faces next is just gonna bull guard into the clinch and tire him out
This is a question that everyone seems to ski by whenever speaking about Mcgregor and I have been one of the biggest fans of his since his Porier fight. Does Conor Mcgregor have heart ? Of course any man who steps into a cage to fight another man who is trained to destroy you, has heart but does he have championship heart. It breaks my heart to say because he is one of my all time heros but almost every fighter fades in fights and he might a little more than the average champ but it seems like the true champions just have the will the hide their exhaustion and it seems like everytime Conor feels the fatigue setting in, my mouth drops and his posture fails him and it is so obvious to see.
Nope, Nate Diaz used similar tactics against Conor in MMA. Far less polished, but he managed to both drag the fight out, advance slowly and defend with the high guard. All his opponents will be sure to keep these in mind.
Nick 46 Conor outweighed a 40yo Mayweather by 21lbs & got walked down before drowning. You don't need Floyd Mayweather Jr ambiguous "movement" to do that. Nate did & will
DJ Nunes will be lucky to get 300k buys. Listening and thinking about the state of the UFC is depressing, you're right, they're doing a horrible job promoting anyone and just about every division is in a shambles.
What if McGregor had better cardio, couldn't he have won? In hindsight it's easy to say it was clear Floyd was waiting for him to tire, but what if he had kept going? I thought Conor won the first 4 rounds and I was thinking "Oh shit, Floyd can only afford to lose 2 more rounds now or he won't win" and was imagining Conor could potentially try to be defensive and threaten with hard counters if Floyd would become desperate to win.
If Conor had better cardio I believe we would just see a more typical Mayweather performance. It was extremely uncharacteristic of him to walk Conor down. If he didnt know conor had issues with the gas tank he wouldnt have used that strategy to begin with.
+smart water Mosely had Floyd in dreadful trouble! There`s also a vid here on all the times Floyd got hurt in fights, all those guys were better than Connor and had a smaller reach.
Also his punches are only solid in the first few rounds, he doesn't sustain his power. In fact it basically drops to 0 when he gets tired. He's very fast in hand speed, trunk movement and reaction time in the early rounds so he can usually take them out there and then. Floyd just avoided anything damaging early and only started really walking him down when he was confident that Conor's power wasn't there anymore. Honestly I give credit to Conor for landing what he did, some of the punches Floyd didn't see coming at all, which is very impressive to do to Floyd.
Wildledroses you don't understand how compubox works. It records when a glove touches the opponents face or body. It has no understanding of how hard a punch is. McGregor never hurt mayweather, his punches had literally no power.
George Smith I heap praise on his ability and hundreds of other black boxers who are actually likeable people. Awful trigger happy with the race card there.
well-the most insidious bias is that which is not acknowledged by otherwise fair minded people. Let me say, I am deeply honored to get your response even in this context-your independence, integrity, and depth of knowledge are correctly prized. Nevertheless, I invite you to imaginatively rehearse what it is like to live in a culture that never gives you the benefit of the doubt, always punishes to the max, and only grudgingly concedes merit-would you believe that focusing on the ephemera you cannot sympathise with is benign or that it is the same old same old? There is a lot more to be said about this, but my major aim is to encourage you to be proactive and provocative in your reflections about color and class in this great cultural stew of sports and combat sports.
You're the best, Mr. Slack. I thought your written pieces were impeccable but hearing you speak and getting a chance to experience your unedite opinion makes me feel like I know you.

Lol we're very similar
Ohhh I've waited so long for this Jacky baby.
Top quality, as always.

^this
Didn't happen

Conor vs Pauli ......that's the fight right there - Dead Horse

Notorious is a very solid read.
Awesome Futurama reference! :D

38:46 lol @ neo-footwork
Did the "punch stats" count the hammer fists to the back of the head ?
Hahaha much respect. I always appreciate funny, plus analysis..

I think Buster Douglas of all people is one of the fighters who's managed to keep a lot of their money (so far at least).

TBE (The Best Evaluation)
I don't understand Conor's strategy. It's like he was so worried about his weakness, cardio, that he never focused on his strength (except for 1 or 2 tries).
100% Gaethje would be a huge problem for Conor. Love the vids and articles btw.
Some small amount of BJJ at end of Lethal Weapon 2 and IMO it didn't look too bad??
It actually was a throwback Mayweather performance....looked a lot like his fight vs Chico Corrales
JR Lonergan I don't think you've seen the Corrales fight.
+JR Lonergan Not one time during the Corrales fight did Floyd straight up walk down Diego. He respected Diego's power, with Conor he barely moved his feet
Nate wouldn't take a fight against Tony in that time knowing he's got a money fight with McGregor basically guaranteed without having to do anything.
I noticed Conor really didnt put anything on most of his punches, probably worried about cardio and energy output. Conor really gonna have keep upgrading his wrestling now i feel whoever he faces next is just gonna bull guard into the clinch and tire him out
Don't waste punches sit down on yours turn and counter when he try's to walk you down clinch when you need to good luck
man, hey Slack, if you could get Firas Zahabi as a guest one day, i'd lose my shit....then give it to Michael Johnson to eat it whole.
kenpachi zaraki That's right, he eats his Gaethje knees whole
Do boxers wear cups?
They were groin protectors, but groin shots still hurt like mad.
Jack have you ever considered doing a history episode on Chris Eubank? I would watch the shit out of that
Kenny robertson is the 🐐

Mayweather laid out the blueprint for all future Mcgregor opponents
Grandswing Not if the fight is in MMA. Completely different game.
Nope, Nate Diaz used similar tactics against Conor in MMA. Far less polished, but he managed to both drag the fight out, advance slowly and defend with the high guard. All his opponents will be sure to keep these in mind.
Walk face-first into McGregor's punching range and catching and slipping all the shots problem solved
Nick 46 Conor outweighed a 40yo Mayweather by 21lbs & got walked down before drowning. You don't need Floyd Mayweather Jr ambiguous "movement" to do that. Nate did & will

That "low blow" landed on the hip
Burburls that would still be a foul then.
Hey Jack, what do you think Connor chances are if he fought Joe Duffy again?
35:06 mma is more entertaining

Mma was exposed as bum fights tier
Thing how many boxers actually got Floyd in Trouble? so Conor not hurting mayweather doesn't downgrade his punch stats
+smart water Mosely had Floyd in dreadful trouble! There`s also a vid here on all the times Floyd got hurt in fights, all those guys were better than Connor and had a smaller reach.
Abc Xyz Fuck you dirtbag loser stupid idiot LOL

Abc Xyz yeah smash mind sucks lol
Conor is the worst boxer mayweather has ever fought and Conor did very good for someone who is not a boxer
Broski MaKorski it was mayweather game plan to get punched 115 times! You fucking racist McGregor nutt hugger
... bitch what?
You just called him a racist for no reason. LOL
Wildledroses you don't understand how compubox works. It records when a glove touches the opponents face or body. It has no understanding of how hard a punch is. McGregor never hurt mayweather, his punches had literally no power.
Conor is not the worst boxer Mayweather has ever fought look at the records of some of Floyd's early opponents.
Why is slack a hater, conor wasn't suppose to land a punch
Broski MaKorski did you ever hear jack say that?
thats what i thought would happen, mma casuals thought gregor had a chance but i didnt and he did better than i thought
no-his color makes it hard for YOU to be sympathetic to him-how about his impressive professionalism and work ethic?
George Smith I heap praise on his ability and hundreds of other black boxers who are actually likeable people. Awful trigger happy with the race card there.
