Prelims on Fox right now.
Main Card begins on PPV at 9 Eastern. Fight expected to begin around 11:45PM Eastern
He looked ok to me but didn’t have power or stamina - He did keep his head too exposed though- not a good strategy for boxing- He likes to rely on his quickness- but he waqs fighting an older fighter- (Who was still plenty quick and powerful- but not what he used to be)- Had Floyd been younger, he’da been hit more because he wouldn’t cover up-
I think conner paced hismelf ok- but really- He had no business being in the ring with floyd- due to his lack of cardio- Floyd at one point was allowing conner to hit him to send the message to conner “Nope- You’ve got nothing” and Floyd even winked at the announcers at one point to give a message that conner made a mistake agreeing to the fight-
Conner is quick and accurate- no doubt- but you are right- He isn’t a boxer and was too open and trying too hard to end it early- Floyd allowed him to make that mistake-
Conner I think could evolve into a better boxer- but he’s got some work to do from what I witnessed- Supposedly his boxing career had numerous knockouts- but against who? amateurs? Floyd did a great job covering up- and avoiding- His wink to the announcers was classic- in other words “He’s got nothing I can’t handle- I’ll turn it up soon=- just be patient”
Man you took him down good!!
A sparred with a few belt holders but there’s so many belts even 25 years ago that it was no big deal :)
Dont remember their names at all.
They played with me though or they would have killed me
the black and hispanic guys used to tell me i was the best white guy there lol
i GUESS that’s a compliment :)
They told all the white boys that
bump
Lol- they are calling it ‘the greatest fight in combat sports history’ - yeah ok- suuure it was- one amateur went up against one pro- amateur loses to noone’s surprise- after being completely gassed at 7 rounds whiel the pro just toyed with him and allowed him to gas himself out- “Greatest fight in combat sports history?’? Lol- i think not
Greatest fights? How about tyson douglas? Foreman Ali? Ali frazier? or some of the older great great fighters fighting people who were equally as great?
I hope you watched it before it got pulled. No chance of keeping that up on you tube, but it should available other places.
I don’t know if he actually supports Trump, but he’s certainly smart enough not to stick his foot in mouth like Conor did.
