Would you like to see a Mayweather vs McGregor rematch?
The Herd with Colin Cowherd there is no need. Besides, Floyd only fights for 350 million dollar pay days.
No way
The Herd with Colin Cowherd I love your clips! Keep up the professional sportcasting
The Herd with Colin Cowherd u absolutely know nothing about UFC/mma. Conor is no where near the "toughest" guy in the UFC. Did u not see him quit against Diaz? Idiot
Andres Cantu hey hey hey
Sounds like you're a hater
You just said that MMA isn't skillful. It's pain tolerance and courage. You're ignorant of the sport, that's coming from a combat sports fan.
mma is for bums thats why Conor has ko's. Floyd proved Conor has no power and no endurance.
If Conor could use his kicks and elbows it would have been over for Floyd in 2 minutes. Conor is very skillfull at using his kicks to keep his distance and land his left hooks. You know nothing about MMA. Imagine if Floyd had to be conscious of Conor's hands, kicks and elbows coming from multiple different angles, his defense would change completely and he would get destroyed.
The1Andrew I apologize for the Walmart comment unprofessional of me, you're obviously looking for attention and friends because if you had some friends they wouldn't have let you put those half assed workout videos that you upload. We're cool, trolls will be trolls. Just give credit where credit is due. #lastresponse
The1Andrew Every guy in the UFC would break your skull, even CM Punk....
Sergeant Rocky yeah there's nothing skillful at all about getting blackbelts in multiple disaplines 🤔
Why is Ellen talking about mma like she knows anything about it. Go back to interviewing celebrities
Ark Corps that was wack AF... Go home
Ark Corps HAHAHAHAHA haha
Colin don't talk like you know MMA.
Bryanne Peguero and u know more huh?
pancakemix 707 He probably does tbh. To say it's all about being tough and skill doesn't matter as much is asinine
Bryson xxv exactly that was some of the dumbest shut i ever heard 😂
MMA is wack...
Bryanne Peguero HAHA CONOR SUCKS DUDE COULDN'T KICK TO SET UP PUNCHES.
HE LOOKED TIRED AFTER THE 4TH RND.
Colin completely misunderstood what Conor was saying this dude man
funny, you forgot to add this line in Mcgregors post," I always told him he was not a fighter but a boxer. But sharing the ring wiht him he is certainly a sloid fighter. Strong inthe clinch, great understanding of frames and head position. he has some very strong tools he could bring into an mma game for sure." But, telling the truth isnt going to sell money. Telling the truth wont get clicks. Admit it, you dont know mma. Stop taling about it.
Craig Descoteaux - I know right. It's like editing a sparring video. Telling the truth won't sell a fight. You sound like Paulie defending himself. Interesting.
Craig Descoteaux yup this is edited like mcgregor sparring paulie video.
Wow was that really the rest of it? A back handed compliment? That's about as humble and genuine of a compliment that he could have given. Smh cowheard Smh.
Was this the comment for real? Joke of a video then... :P
Craig Descoteaux , Exactly, these sports COMMENTators conveniently leave out stuff like that for ratings and clicks and all of that bull, but if you truly know sports, they can't fool you
"Show me a fighter that's all heart...I'll show you one that's prepared for a beating." - Frankie Dunn
The actual statement made by Conor.
"thenotoriousmma
Just coming back around after a whirlwind couple of days.
Thank you to all the fans for the support of the fight and the event! Without your support we as fighters are nothing so I thank you all!
Thank you to my team of coaches and training partners!
I had an amazing team and It truly was an amazing and enjoyable camp, and honestly I feel with just a little change in certain areas of the prep, we could have built the engine for 12 full rounds under stress, and got the better result on the night.
Getting to 12 rounds alone in practice was always the challenge in this camp. We started slowly getting to the 12 and decreasing the stress in the rounds the closer it got to 12. I think for the time we had, 10 weeks in camp, it had to be done this way. If I began with a loaded 12 rounds under much stress I would have only hit a brick wall and lost progress as a result and potentially not made the fight. A little more time and we could have made the 12 cleanly, while under more stress, and made it thru the later rounds in the actual fight. I feel every decision we made at each given time was the correct decision, and I am proud of everyone of my team for what we done in the short time that we done it.
30 minutes was the longest I have fought in a ring or cage or anywhere. Surpassing my previous time of 25 minutes. I am happy for the experience and happy to take all these great lessons with me and implement them into my camp going forward.
Another day another lesson!
Congrats to Floyd on a well fought match. Very experienced and methodical in his work. I wish him well in retirement. He is a heck of a boxer. His experience, his patience and his endurance won him this fight hands down. I always told him he was not a fighter but a boxer. But sharing the ring with him he is certainly a solid fighter. Strong in the clinch. Great understanding of frames and head position. He has some very strong tools he could bring into an MMA game for sure.
Here is a toast of whiskey to everyone involved in this event and everyone who enjoyed it!
Thank you to you all! Onto the next one!"
That's not what he said 😂
Yu Toob what?
Gabriel Waggoner the end of the quote he posted goes "... But when I stepped into the ring with him he proved he was a fighter." He took the ending off of the quote to change it's entire meaning.
Exactly. Pure dishonesty.
Jay Middleton ookkk smh at 0:48?
Gabriel Waggoner yeah that's the quote, he took the end off of it to change the meaning. A bit cheeky if you ask me.
Cowherd acts like he watches fighting every weekend & knows literally everything about what goes into preparing for an mma fight or a boxing match. He's literally just a dude with money who only goes to big events so he can say he was there & then act like he knows everything when he predics the most logical outcome.
Thad Campbell hahah so true
Other than his lisp, Colin Cowherds empty opinions are the most annoying thing about him.
Whats this guy talking about?! UFC fans weren't expecting Conor to win, we're surprised he survived that long as he did. I don't understand why you guys arnt impressed. He was your GOAT, no?
Connor was landing 23 percent of his punches to floyds 47 percent through the first 4 rounds. If he thinks all he needs to work on is stamina, he's delusional
This "analysis" is an embarrassment to real boxing fans...
Delete this video, you deliberately misquoted Connor you corporate shill. I'm a Mayweather fan btw.
Sure you are
X'O Host yh!!!!"Mayweather fan"
I’m a Conor fan but I hate that he could never take defeat like a man. Always has the same reason, he was winning some rounds
Devine Chin TMT all day
They call it "the herd mentality" for a reason. I lost it when touchy Paulie gave his two cents as well 😭💀
The match was the definition of "out boxed". Floyd read the fight from the first second; used rounds 1 and 2 to get a feel for McGregor, find out his style, used the next few rounds just to tire him out, then finished the fight in the closing rounds. From a sports perspective, it was fantastic to watch. And I'm Irish and was routing for McGregor.
Saying that you don't need skill in mma is an idiotic statement. Cowherd sharpe bayless any mainstream media is so uneducated about the sport of mma. I watched that fight rooting for Conor. I was fine with the outcome and I also became intrigued with boxing and will be watching more of it. But if you want any truth or real facts about mma mainstream media should be the last place to find it
I love Colin, and we disagree on certain things, but this is ignorance tbh. MMA is more scientific than he thinks. It's a complete chess match with threat of the human body, not just one part. As someone that has trained boxing and currently trains MMA, MMA is more of a thinking man's game. Boxing is as well make no mistake about it; but this sounds like someone that doesn't know the sport of MMA. But MMA is a chess match, with all of the threats your opponent presents. In many ways more so than boxing.
There is subtle truth to what Colin is saying, but the way he phrased it was poor. MMA has way more art forms integrated into it: boxing, wrestling, BJJ, Muy Thai, karate, etc. As a result, the best fighters are the one's who specialize in one art but well rounded in most of them. The trade off however, is that you can't be dominate and 100% devoted to one art because you need to train in as many as you can. The science in MMA is a lot more psychological and mental. Add that to the fact that you are able to throw elbows, kicks, and takedowns and you are adding in a factor of luck to the equation in trying to anticipate whether or not your opponent wants the ground game or the stand up, which varies from opponent to opponent based on skill. So in that sense yes, MMA has a ton of science behind it, but also a lof of luck behind it as well. Boxing is 100% boxing nothing else. So to see Floyd's experience (not speaking for every boxer because a lot just love to throw punches with no technique) and his skill and ability to disect his opponent. He is never beating an opponent off of luck or a "lucky hit." He is literally picking opponents apart and countering every punch with precision. Colin is just so black and white and extreme with all of his stances that he makes it seem like if this is good then the other has to suck.
Kim Stuart I can respect your take, Colins I can not. You make sense, and I'm glad you aren't ignorant like he is. Props to you for being knowledgeable.
Not true. Including kicks, and elbows doesn't add luck to the equation. In fact BJJ is more scientific that pugilism has ever been. It requires an adept understanding of the human anatomy. There is no luck in BJJ. It's all skill. The reality is that most half the techniques in boxing don't work in a real fight. The stances leave the opponents lead leg open single leg shots, and leg kicks. Not to mention Floyd's shoulder roll, and stance would never work in MMA. They have better hands than most MMA fighters, but they're not as effective when you switch their stance.
Bryson xxv yeah man someone's Colin just gets too extreme on his stances lol. With him it's like the only way to make 4 is 2+2 no other way hahahaha
Nicolas Rodriguez ...MMA isn't close to the skill nor chest match that 🥊 presents my brother...
Colin read the entire statement. He went on to say that he was wrong about Floyd and he now does in fact consider him a fighter.
Colin is completely out of line. I've listened to Colin for several years. I think he's spot on in his criticisms of ESPN and he's spot on when it comes to LeBron. He's a good journalist. Objective. Until now. This disgusting, absurd, misinformation he's spreading about MMA could not be further from the truth. Let's start with Conor. I like Conor, and I always have. If you think Conor is well-conditioned then you've obviously never seen him fight. You could make a real argument that of the top 10 fighters in UFC history he's in the WORST shape. he gasses in every fight that goes to the 3rd round. He has decent movement, he hits hard, and he's accurate. He's pretty much Anderson Silva reincarnated, who was in better shape by the way. The reality is this conversation should be about boxing. If you want to talk MMA then tell me what kind of shape Jon Jones is in, or Mighty Mouse, or GSP, or Cain. The list goes on for highly trained extremely skilled fighters that are just as good at their craft as boxers are at theirs. Conor went into the ring to make money. Plain an simple. Don't try to spin this into MMA vs boxing. The nostalgia goggles for boxing are laughable. We know through science and by observing the world around us that grappling is more effective than striking. We know it as objective fact. I thought Colin did his homework. Maybe he shouldn't touch this one anymore.
Mayweather Fans: "Connor doesn't stand a chance in the boxing ring but Mayweather doesn't have a chance in the Octagon"
McGregor fans: "Mayweather only won because Connor got tired and the ref stopped the fight too early..... If they fight in the Octagon, it's really over"
Florida Fish guy No, Mcgregor didn't only win because he got tired. He was in the best shape of his life. Floyd broke Mcgregor to the body. Floyd hurt mcgregor to the body as early as the fourth round. Watch the fight again and pay attention when they are in the pocket. Floyd broke him. With ease.
Broke him with ease? We all know he won but with ease? No. The ref saved him multiple time's for no exact reason for e.g when McGregor finally start's gaining momentum the ref would make them back away for no exact reason.
AttackOnVariousFilms if you’re talking about the body shot that hurt Floyd then it was broken up because Conor circled to Floyd’s back. If he would have just stood in front or circles to the sides and threw punches it wouldn’t have been broken up. I’m a huge Conor fan but this was a mismatch from the start, you can’t fight the best boxer of all time in your first boxing match and think you can win. Everyone knew Conor gasses really fast so he had to put Floyd away in the first couple rounds which he didn’t. Conor did better than people thought since Floyd will not eat shots to the face willingly so the fact that Conor did hit him is an accomplishment in itself. They both win in their respective sports which was the argument all along that Floyd would die in an octagon, it was still a very fun fight to watch and I’m glad he got 50-0 with a good fight like that.
Kris R also no one broke anything or anyone lol it was just experience over an amateur. Same way it would look say if Floyd went in an octagon and fought khabib
It was a very fun fight to watch indeed. I hate Floyd's style XDDD It's smart but I hate it how as soon as the opponent gain's momentum he'd back down and shove the back of his neck to people... It's smart but I don't agree with it.. I'm more Mike Tyson style.. I know if I don't like his style why'd I watch it, it was due to me being intrigued.
How could anybody like this video? If you're so stupid as to think there's no science behind MMA training, or that intelligence/creativity don't matter, then you've never really watched a MMA match. Just look at Jon Jones (ignoring the drug tests). He beat almost all of his opponents by out-thinking them. By obsessively studying their movements, patterns, and habits, which he then took advantage of.
There's nothing "us" MMA fans don't get. The reasonable among us didn't think Conor would win in a boxing match. If we're talking about a real fight though, it's not even a question. Even MMA isn't quite true fighting, but it's pretty close. Boxing is a sport, not fighting.
SurreallTV you're just really wrong. Pro boxers have gone to the UFC and gotten ragdolled. There's a reason Floyd didn't take this fight in the octogon. Like another poster said, MMA fans are aware that it won't work under boxing rules. Boxing fans are so deluded they think boxers can step into the octogon. Sure, MMA fighters are way below boxing standards. But boxers are way below mma standards. Conor did ten rounds with the greatest boxer alive. The greatest boxer alive wouldn't survive the first round against an average MMA fighter. Especially if they only had one training camp to learn how to kick and grapple.
@SurreallTV - Since you people are so biased, I'll use the opinions of professional boxers who compete in MMA to address your horrible arguments.
1. Boxers don't have tougher chins, they are human just like everybody else. According to undefeated 24-0 pro-boxer Fabio Maldonado (who's known for his defense and durability in boxing), the tiny MMA gloves make it extremely hard to block punches. Even with a high guard, punches always get through, so Fabio found himself getting hit by punches A LOT more than he did in a boxing match, and he actually go knocked with one punch against the current heavyweight champion in the UFC. Boxers rarely get hit clean, and when they do, they are protected by 8 oz or 10 oz of foam. It's just no the same.
2. Conor is fighting low level talent now? I think this is a code word for "I don't follow MMA and have no idea who he is fighting".
3. Low skill? How does one acquire multiple black belts from multiple martial arts lack skill? Jose Aldo is a former Jiu Jitsu world champion, Chad Mendes is an NCAA wrestler with a crazy record of 150-1 or so. How do you define "skill"?
4. How was Conor's punching power exposed? He only landed a few uppercuts. Conor is not known for being an all-round power puncher, he's just known for having a deadly straight left. One of the most popular criticisms of Conor is that he only has a straight left. Conor's kicks aren't that powerful, his uppercuts aren't that powerful, his hook aren't that power, his cross is decent, but it's his straight left which people are worried about.
"If you put him in an octagon that where tough and courage matters." This guy annoys me on so many levels all the time. How about it's where real martial arts, and jiu jitsu matter? The real sport of fighting in it's entirety! Floyd get's dropped on his head within 30 seconds in a a mixed martial arts/real fight.
1 leg kick and it's done.
Mcgregor wasn't 15 lbs heavier than Floyd, he was 25 lbs heavier AT LEAST.After the weigh in,Floyd has dropped down to 142 lbs,yet Conor has bulked up to more than 170lbs. "Weight doesn't win fights,fighting wins fights."
This guy doesn't know what he's talking about, mma fans thought conor could beat floyd because of his awkwardness, unpredictability, reach, height ... which was proven in the first few rounds.
How many punches did Floyd throw the first few rounds?
Magnificent 90 how was it proven when he did hurt Floyd and Floyd was basically walking forward the whole time and didn't throw any punches?
Magnificent 90 It wasn't proven because he got stopped.
It was not proven at all, floyd did not bother competing in those rounds because he had a gameplan. Conors uppercut didn't even faze him, it was weak.
How many punches did Floyd get hit with ?
I've been an MMA fan since I saw Anderson Silva's debut. But I've been a boxing fan my whole life. That's why i can say that Colin has no understanding of either sport. You're telling me Marvin Hagler isn't as tough? Rocky Marciano doesn't have courage? That's the dumbest thing I've ever HERD. So Damian Mia isn't a scientist when it comes to BJJ? your telling me it Isn't a science when GSP finds the correct formula of wrestling, boxing, BJJ to become one of the GOAT?....Man both sides of this fight have been pretty stupid, but there has been so much elitism and ignorance on the boxing side.
You misunderstand what Colin is saying. His point is that just being tough is not enough against a highly skilled technician. Ultimately you will get outclassed by the teacher.
Yea that was a part of what he said but his main point is that MMA is for unskilled tough guys, whereas boxing is mostly finesse. Both statements are completely false. "It works in the ufc and it works in a bar" he is clearly trying to downplay the level of skill required to be a mixed martial artist. He literally said courage and pain tolerance are most important in MMA, which is such a crazy thing to say. This guys knows nothing about fighting.
I used to think Colin's thoughts were well thought out rational and smart. I do not think that anymore this guy clearly just wings it and sometimes he is right and sometimes he is wrong but either way its clear he does not know what he is talking about.
Colin does not understand that Conor would destroy Floyd anywhere besides a boxing ring. That is what Conor was saying.
So apparantly, according to Colin, you dont need bravery and courage as much as skills in boxing. What about the Ali-Frazier trilogy? You telling that one of the greatest fights in fighting history was regarded as the greatest- not because of how much Ali had the courage and bravery when all odds were against him?
Muhammad Ali is crowned as one of the greatest fighter not only because of his boxing skills but because he has heart and tenacity and bravery. He would put himself in a situation where people thought he had very little chance to win. You telling me that Bravery and courage was number 4 there?
Seriously this Colin guy knows nothing.
Yu Zuck it was because Ali won a lot of fights simply by psychology.... he had heart and courage but he had way more skill and talent than anything else.... he mastered the art of getting in his opponents head.... so heart and courage comes 4th after skill, talent, and being able to get in his opponents head, and then heart and courage.....
I think youre missing the point of my comment. Colin was making the argument that UFC is less of a sport than boxing because it mostly requires bravery and not a lot of 'science'. That is just not true. Sure Ali was very skilled but that doesnt change the fact that the odds was not with him when he fought Frazier. Just taking the fight required a lot of courage just as much as skill and talent. Are you telling courage was 4th on his list of requirements when fighting Frazier? I doubt Ali wouldve won that fight had he not have a lot of heart and courage. Any ordinary man wouldve caved to the pressure and fear of getting hit with fraziers deadly hooks.
Not true. Ali's # 1 asset turned out to be his heart. His early success was attribute based. His style relied on speed, reflexes, and agility. After the 3 year layoff Ali could no longer rely on his attributes. He relied on his heart, toughness, will, and determination to win fights. He was willing to die in the ring, and that's what separated him from the rest of the competition.
WOW!!! He did not read the next line. Conor said that he was wrong about Floyd and that Floyd IS a fighter. Look it up. This guy is playing people for idiots. And he is incredibly uneducated and disrespectful to mma.
Aaron Jackson - you sound like Paulie
All y’all can disagree with Colin all you want, but I bet ya Connor won’t ever call out a retired boxer ever again.
Being 6 years past your prime doesn't mean you still aren't a great athlete. Jaromir Jagr is 45 years old and probably 18 years "past his prime". He still led the Florida Panthers in scoring 2 seasons ago.
I couldn't have said it better myself!💯
Don't talk about MMA or Boxing please lol
Here's a guy who has probably never had a fight in his life, who was probably the guy hiding under his desk in school, talking about fighting. How can anyone take this guy seriously.
Conor's comment wasn't a backhanded compliment! If Floyd took on Conor in the octagon, FLOYD WOULD GET KILLED! Conor said Floyd was a masterful BOXER, hinting at the fact that to say "FIGHTER" typically implies MMA fighters and not boxers. Conor was saying that Floyd was the better boxer, but not fighter, and he was 100% spot on. Toughness applies to both boxing and MMA, and if any sport has a "hole" in it, it's boxing. Corruption and favoritism among judges gave boxing that gaping hole. Go ask GGG if you don't believe me.
Conor is great because of his skill. Not because he's the toughest.
Colin is brainless he don't know fighting. Reason why he should not be allowed to broadcast his fight knowledge on video!
Conor is not toughest ! Look at Conor vs Nait 1 and Conor vs Nait 2 how can Colin say that , but he wins because of skills he has achieved through his dedication towards training . Colin is an idiot
toughness in mma may be number one, wtf are you talking about? mma is probably more of a thinking game since the risks of getting koed is much higher, lets see a boxer thinking about getting headkicked and kneed in the head. wtf xD
Ludwig Johansson a boxer would be more concerned about getting taken down.
Wow cant believe I actually liked this guys show for a little bit. Colin Coward knows nothing about the sport of MMA saying its all about toughness. Sounds like every other sports journalist generalizing MMA fighters as fighters with no skill and talent only with "toughness and courage". Everything involving MMA is a "science" that isn't only reliant on brute strength. Plus he says that Conor had ABSOLUTELY NO CHANCE, i swear half of these supposed "analyst" don't even know that boxing is a martial art, where tf do you think their punching technique comes from. Thats why its called MIXED martial arts. TRIGGERED AF
Literally the exact opposite of Conor's statement.
Exactly. Cowherd needs to issue an apology for this.
Boxers aren't fighters though... Boxing is ONE aspect of fighting. They're specialised (to excellence) in 1 aspect of fighting. Fighters use every part of their body.
Loantastic a pro boxer will beat 99% of people on the street in a fight. The best striker in the world will beat the best roller
Loantastic Nah bro they're fighters they're just limited fighters.
Loantastic Well Conor Mcgregor says otherwise I'll take his word over yours
An elite BJJ fighter beats both in a fight to the death. However the elite grappler almost always beats the boxer
UFC is for medioker People ! Boxing is for men. No One in UFC (4ounce) had knocked down somebody with a Body shot like they so all the time in Boxing 50-0. GGG baby!
is it toughness that allowed Conor to counter Floyd with an uppercut and combination as he came in or skill? I don't remember too many boxers countering Floyd like that. Or was that his strategy to get hit in the dome like that?
It was nothing .. No power so WHO cares?
Ur right. He didn't have the power everyone claimed so that's why Floyd eventually walked him down and brought it to him. But let's be honest, considering Conor has no professional experience - that he was able to counter a fighter that hardly ever gets countered is impressive. You can't say it's his strategy to let Conor win early. Not true. Don't mistake strategy to take the early rounds to read and measure for giving the early rounds to your opponent and letting yourself get hit.
Is this a moral victory for Conor and MMA fans? Yes. Absolutely. Floyd won fair and square. No two ways about it. But don't deny that the man exceeded all boxing purists expectations by a landslide and now they try to undermine the performance by saying "he let it happen" and further denigrating MMA by saying it's a tough man's sports and boxing is a skill sport.
it was a well timed counter but boxers never counter Floyd like that because Floyd is never defensively sloppy against actual boxers as he was against conor.
Floyd made it look competitive by staying in front of Conor and trading shots. He normally uses movement and angles to avoid punches. He did none of that because he knew he was in there against an inferior boxer. He gave away those early rounds. He could afford to. As soon as he decided to let his hands go it was all over. I don't know why this is so hard to understand for some people.
Floyd didn't even try. Conor in his prime had no power to hurt Floyd & had no stamina. That was a easy fight for Floyd
Compare Cowherd to that clueless fool Skip Bayless. Colin speaks factually and backs it up. That Skip has totally lost it man.
Anyone else excited about GGG vs Canelo?
I was going to buy it, but Oscar De La Hoya convinced me to illegally stream it.
mortal2400 going to buy it because my family loves boxing. If my family didn't I would of streamed this fight.
Still happy?
Boxing is very specialized with a lot of rules. Mayweather is really good at a small portion of all combat sports.
In UFC there are almost no rules, so you need to protect yourself from a lot more things. If you are not though, you are not going to make it into the ufc. But toughness isn't going to make you great.
IamSteda91 floyd been boxing all his life and has mastered every aspect of it in MMA how does someone find the time or skill to master each discipline looks like they need to do more cardio cause Conor looked unfit even against a 40 year old past his best I mean floyd didn't even train properly for this
Colin needs to stop talking about MMA. Putting bar fights and MMA in the same light just shows he knows very little.
I think Max Kellerman said it best.
He basically said it's disrespectful to think you're going to beat the best fighter in any discipline, if you, yourself, have limited experience in that discipline.
It's not that mma fighters aren't skilled. It that's they simply don't spend enough time in any one thing to master it.
It's not that boxers aren't tough. McGregor would've had an altogether different experience had he fought Maidana, or Canelo.
Bottom line is, LIKE CONOR SAID, HIMSELF, the sports are completely different from one another. Just because you're a master at one doesn't mean you're going to be a master in the other.
Colin, you need to stop embarrassing yourself by commenting on MMA. How are you going to just completely ignore the rest of what Conor said and spin his words to mean something completely else. You should seriously be disgusted with yourself.
Ryan Borchert just like Conor did with his sparing session lol
Colin and Skip should be banned from talking combat sports
If Paulie ever boxed Conor not "fought". If Paulie fought Conor with no specific rules, he'll be singing a different tune at the edge of his cliff.
0-1
Colin shut up before you offend all of MMA when you intend to offend just Conor McGregor.
"endurance" " patience" experience " head position" "frames" well damn all floyd needs to learn is how to kick and a choke hold, he would probably beat mcgregor in the cage,
Put any boxer in a street fight with no rules the boxer loses everytime
Matt Zellner ....actually i have seen it both ways it just depends on execution ....if a boxer has a basic understanding of grappling then they wont allow themselves to be grappled...
I seen to many one hit kos for that be true
Pure Truth
Toughness is number 4 in boxing? This guy is beyond a clown
SurreallTV you're a clown too LMAO and obviously know nothing about the sport
He's 100% correct Conor couldn't beat a 40 year old man.
Haha!! the truth hurts!! UFC fans are delusional.
The truth is I'd dominate you in ju jitsu, boxing or wrestling GEMJM.
Zeafer Jones the truth is you're homosexual cross dresser.
@GEMJ M - That's not an argument. Are all boxing fans mindless homophobic drones or are you the exception?
Colin taking his comment waaaay out of context is another example why people don't trust the media. He does this kind of stuff all the time
Colin is right, Conor was giving a backhanded compliment
Colin, that's not a fair statement. Many UFC fans (including myself) and pros conceded that Floyd would win this fight simply because he's the better boxer.
He's wrong that mma is only toughness but when he's talking about Conor being in his prime and Floyd being old and not taking the fight seriously and still the fight not being close at all. He's 100% correct about the mma nuthuggers who aren't in touch with reality
This guy said "toughness matters when you get in the octagon." He also said "cardiovascular excellence and training etc matter in boxing"... as if they don't matter in MMA... had Conor won, he would be chanting a whole different tune. MMA represents complete fighters capable of fighting standing or not. Boxing is an entirely separate sport and has it's own category. Boxers aren't called fist fighters, they're called boxers. It was what it was... Floyd was obviously the better & more experienced boxer. Congrats to him... he's 40 and performed incredibly well. The best boxing match for him would've been Vasyl Lomachenko.
Conor McGregor would have gotten knocked out early in the 1st-Round if he fought a boxer in his prime like Triple G instead of a 40-year old Floyd Mayweather. Boxing is different than UFC and MMA fans need to understand that.
So you took part of the statement and ran with it? This is just disgusting
Yeah. Just like Conor did with the sparring video. But you still love Conor Mcgregor.
lol What a sore loser! Mayweather was smarter, he let Connor punch himself out.
Please read McGregor's whole statement. He paid Floyd a very nice compliment, but Colin edits it here to make it sound like sour grapes.
I love this show but Collin didn't read the entire post of Conor. He said I always told Floyd he was a boxer not a fighter but after boxing him, he is a real fighter. Conor gave him nothing but respect and props. He's gotta read the entire post and then break that down not just half of it. He cut the post off in the most important part that he was arguing and making his point off of the entire time.
This guy has got a point! a Prime Conditioned Conor Mcgregor 29year old 170lbs couldn't beat a 149lb 2 year retired 40 year OLD past his prime Mayweather with brittle hands.
you can't even compare boxing to mma, that's like comparing chess to a uno game
if it proved something it is that 100% self belief is not all it takes, skill and experience beats it
I wish my job was to purposely say things to antagonize people for ratings and attention.
Every Mma Fan Needs To Hear This
Floyd was throwing power punches the first 3 rounds. He didn't quite use the jab like we're used to seeing, which is understandable against a slightly taller man with the longer reach. With that said, he didn't land a single punch to Conor's face till the 3rd which to me was impressive on Conor's part. Conor's activity and reach kept Floyd at bay at the beginning and near the middle but towards the end when he gassed out, Floyd capitalized. It's that simple people.
Colin show's his ignorance by claiming that toughness doesn't win boxing matches. Hey Colin, tell that nonsense to Mike Tyson who's toughness won him 12 first round KO's in his first 19 pro fights, giving his opponents no time to use any science, training, or cardio. Conor trained only 4 months for the fight, and he still dominated the first 4 rounds and was strong through 9 rounds. Mike Tyson was stunned that Conor lasted as long as he did. Had he trained and conditioned for 6-9 months, like he should have, Floyd would have had to rely on his bought and paid for judges to give him the decision.
Conor lost because Floyd is the GOAT of his era. It was more unrealistic to think Conor could go 12 rounds then it was to beat Floyd.
How many times did Mayweather literally turn his back to Connor and cover his head to protect himself? That wasn't fighting. My only takeaway was how much more dynamic and interesting UFC is to watch.
Mr. Cowherd I disagree. McGregor is not known as the "tough guy" in MMA. He is known for his skilled striking and great timing/ counter punching. He is not a Dan Henderson or a Nate Diaz who are known as "tough guys." Please watch his mma fights. His movement and style are what some thought would win the fight. Not his "toughness." But what we saw was obviously a gap in experience and boxing skill. Mayweather was too experienced in boxing and Mcgregor doesn't hit as hard as he thought he did ;). He is a precision fighter not a power puncher.
I think Connor isn't really honest with himself on this one. Floyd wasn't tactically as great as he normally is, he wasn't worrying about having to defend as much, and this explains Connor landing so much(and Max was right, in a normal fight Connor wouldn't touch him), he just walked through him. He just punched him in the face.
Has Colin never even heard of Demetrious Johnson?? He's not a tough guy but he's extremely skilled and has 10 title defenses. He shouldn't even talk about MMA if he doesn't know much..
completely out of context .. typical of colin .. just a hater, and perhaps the most incompetent person to comment on combat sports
The main point is that Connor got beat by Floyd (TKOed) & he is making up several excuses post fight for why he lost. That fight wasn't even close when you look at it from another angle. Connor was tired from Floyd punching him & chasing him down. His punches didn't have weight in them so Floyd didn't get hurt. And now he's going back to the UFC to take an L against Nate Diaz
Give it a break Colin, you treat him like Muhammad Ali. This was his debut for crying out loud
mcgregor is not the toughest in the ufc. you tell mma fans they dont know anything but you generally know even less. it was never about mcgregors toughness, it was about giving floyd a different style. However this did not mean we expected connor to win.
He edited Connor's statement! He gave Floyd a lot of praise!
So he cut Conor's comment down and used a part of it to mislead his listeners into thinking Conor disrespected Floyd and Boxing. This man is NOT a true journalist. He is biased and spiteful.
Wrong Colin. Being a 'tough' guy doesnt help you one bit in MMA, skills win the bills, that's it.
What a shame you didn't read the full statement from Conor. He stated that Floyd was a fighter in the very next sentence.
This match taught me 2 things about boxing. A, its corrupt beyond measure. B. Boxing fans are delusional.
Have y'all really so little knowledge of boxing's history? Mayweather carried Conor for the whole fight. He didn't want the hate that would come from knocking out McGregor in a couple of rounds and feeling like they'd been had.
The fact that mayweather can turn his back completely to get a ref stop a half a dozen times and still win says alot about boxing. Turn your back to your opponent in UFC and see what happens.
*That's a very good way to look at things. ✅😁*
what this guy said is true tho, that was a backhand compliment, smh Connor you lost because Floyd is the better boxer just get over it
No it wasn't. Go and read Conor's entire statement. Colin mischaracterizes it here.
Jesse Stevenson Connor won't admit Floyd beat him, he's basically saying he beat himself
"Congrats to Floyd on a well fought match. Very experienced and methodical in his work. I wish him well in retirement. He is a heck of a boxer. His experience, his patience and his endurance won him this fight hands down. I always told him he was not a fighter but a boxer. But sharing the ring with him he is certainly a solid fighter. Strong in the clinch. Great understanding of frames and head position. He has some very strong tools he could bring into an MMA game for sure."
What more could you possibly want than that?
Colin so ur telling me Floyd would win in a street fight? BS
I guarantee you that Colin was bullied in High School. He has this passive aggressive grudge against Conor. He reeks of fear
Colin, you've just misquoted him. He said, I always thought Floyd was only a boxer - but he's a fighter as well. I mean, jeez, you leave out the rest of the quote and then proceed to rattle off reasons why Floyd is tough, when Conor has already said it?
A bar and an MMA fight!? You're really making that comparison? Come on man, tough isn't the number one attribute you need in an MMA fight! And if you're going to quote someone, read the full quote!
Being an mma fan this pisses me off damn. This guy never once said mma takes skill and Is a science, but is only courage and pain tolerance. Training for a mma fight is way more intense than boxing, as for in mma you are training 4+ different styles of fighting boxing,wrestling,Jin jitzu, kick boxing, muay Tai etc. Boxing fans will never get this, boxing is dying and losing to the ufc because let's be honest, it's more fast paced,bloody,not just one style of fighting, but many
They STILL don't get it and NEVER will.
