We saw against Nate, the bigger man, that Conor's power doesn't translate. I think the same will happen with Alvarez. Hope Conor is ready for 5 rounds agani

wonderfullife wrote: » Yeah he's doing coaching in Boston and still fighting himself so i'm sure he's kept busy. It's a short enough run over to NY from Boston so hopefully he'll feature in some way. I wonder how late they are going to go out? You'd have to guess 2 weeks before fight night at the earliest just to get on NY time. Shouldn't be much acclimatizing to do....I've been to NY in November and it's cold as fcuk like here!!

I always presumed the reason why he was such a big factor in the camps was because he's based in Boston. Plus he would have given up a great deal of time from his other ventures to fly out to Vegas and help Conor with his camp and coach for TUF. Wouldn't be suprised to see him back involved when Conor goes over before the fight.

When Tony moved them out to Lucan and switched schools, it was a downer for him but he would never have met Tom Egan otherwise. And that was the catalyst for getting properly into martial arts. Speaking of Tom Egan, i wonder have they fallen out? Tom was coaching for Team McGregor in TUF22 with Roddy and Sergey and was in Conors locker-room for the Aldo fight but he was noticeably missing for the Diaz fights. Even on social media, he was watching the fights but commented on every fight but Conors. Was strange. Kavanagh was asked about it and basically offered no reason. Strange stuff. I hope they sort out whatever problems they have because he's been a huge factor in Conors career and it'd be a shame for him not to be there for the Alvarez fight.

DeVore wrote: » Imho, he has the instincts and the reaction speed along with the persistence, commitment to work hard and an almost unhealthy obsession with success, so in that regard yeah he would probably be at the top of any combat/physical sport. Beyond that it becomes too chaotic to predict really... he was certainly on his way when he switched to MMA by all accounts.
