Conor via KO-TKOA little video for all the 'experts' in here who dismissed me when I told them categorically Conor would fight primarily from his karate stance.

Hold on. You said Conor would "fight" Paulie from the karate stance?0 -

Pretty sure people were more arguing against him using it, rather than if he would use it. What was Paulie thinking in a Phily shell against a soutpaw anyway.
Saw he switched stances...Floyd called that one as well.0 -

Conor via KO-TKOScroll to 13:20 and watch the last 20 seconds of Round 2 against Rocky Martinez.
Loma TWICE uses tight pivots to get fully behind his opponent. If you pause the footage at 13:56 and 14:05, you'll see Loma is standing right behind a blind opponent and both times lands heavy right hands.
In the last 50 years of boxing, almost nobody uses this technique, yet as the footage shows it can be extremely effective. It's also why Conor was able to land shots so cleanly on Malignaggi because, despite nobody in boxing using Conor's stance and range, they can still be effective.
There's more than one way to skin a cat in boxing and you're all being terribly dismissive that the techniques "can't work". Of course they can work. The real question is "for how long?". Even a master like Floyd is going to find it hard to time counters on a southpaw in a bladed karate stance, so the question is how long does it take him to adjust?
If he adjusts fast, it's bad news for Conor quite clearly.

When you live with depression every day of the week, there doesn't tend to be any added or removed when your favourite fighter wins or loses. I'm proud of Conor in victory or defeat.
All that being said I'd prefer if he wins because it will attract new viewers to the wonderful sport of MMA and that's good
Regardless of how I feel about Conor as a fan, Floyd is a scumbag who batters women.... So even if it was Jeff Horn fighting him I'd be disappointed if Floyd wins.
It sort of boggles my mind that many Irish people want the woman-beater to win.0 -

Do you think his 396-1 amateur record in boxing contributed to that?
Also, showing more footage like this, giving a bit away, no?0 -

Are Irish people compelled to support some just because they are Irish? You don't have to support someone because of their nationality.0
