Kavanagh also said that Conor wanted an 'insurmountable challenge', well yes, it is.

Parrying the punch with the right only really served to open himself up more to the left hook that Aldo was hoping to land....in fairness conor committed to throwing over that left from Aldo and got his just rewards but the margin between success and failure for each fighter in that exchange is so fractional. Aldo was far more reckless and paid the price, but conor did bite on that fake and was open himself (as evidenced by Aldo still landing while unconscious). I'm sure it makes it all the more bitter a pill for Aldo to swallow.

In interview's/ IRL he often seems diffident and respectful. On social media, his takes sometimes verge on the crass and immature. I get that this two sided dynamic isn't exactly unique to him but suffice to say he certainly seems more personable IRL... Anyways, he's got a book to hawk, so that goes some way in explaining it.

Ferguson was slagging Nate off. Nate slagged Ferguson off. Then JK suggests Ferguson should take up tennis himself in a sly little dig. Why feel the need to get involved? Anyway, in other "news" apparently Conor was on a mad one in Skerries the other night and kipped in the pub owners gaf. That'd lead me to believe the Floyd fight isn't as close as I thought.
