Official Conor McGregor thread (part 3) *Updated Warning in 1st Post Re:Boxing match
The last thread was nearing the 10k post limit so here's part 4.

The same rules as the last thread apply here. People seem to have strong opinions either way when it comes to McGregor and threads here tend to get a bit heated from time to time. Please keep it civil and discuss all things Conor in a mature way.

Any name-calling, trolling, baiting, or being a general ass-hat will earn you a ban from the thread and possibly the forum.
If you have an issue with a post, please use the report post function.

Any off topic posts will be deleted.
Any "Do you even train Bro?" or "I'm an mma fan longer than you" type posts are not permitted either. They only make you look like a fool and as a result, everyone hates you. Yes everyone.

**Upate with Mayweather vs McGregor announced**

Lads consider this the one and only warning - big fight with a lot of hype around it. It brings new fans to the forum as well as the regulars so try and get along. Any trolling or nonsense and people will find themselves on a break from the forum and that applies to everyone.

Conor's accuracy is insanely good so no idea where you're pulling that from.

Yes, he has vastly inferior hand-speed to Floyd but that's true of almost everyone Floyd would fight. They said Maidana had no hope because of his comically slow hand-speed compared to Floyd's, that he'd be butchered, but he took that first fight to an extremely close decision.

Show me the evidence of McGregor's accuracy against the stiffs he fought in the UFC?, Punches thrown Vs punches landed clean. Because I have Compubox stats back up Mayweather. Maidana was an elite boxer, a two weight world champion with world class boxing skills, power and agression. And Floyd beat him twice

You can have the fastest hand-speed in the world but if you eat a punch to the chin it's still going to hurt you.

Floyd v Maidana:

230/426 = 54% landed

Conor v Nate:

164/286 = 57% landed

I don't know why I even bothered showing you them because you'll just come back with a reem of condescension.

You lost all credibility when you called Conor's opponents in the UFC "stiffs". Those "stiffs" would rip Floyd's head from his shoulders in the Octagon. They *might* be not very good at boxing but they're not boxers, they are world class mixed martial artists that, in most cases, Conor made look easy work.

It would be like any of us calling Oscar de la Hoya a boxing stiff just to demean Floyd's achievements. It's not big or clever.

Yes he can. Unfortunately you don't get that kind of time to run and hit Floyd. He's far too sharp and evasive. If McGregor tries that, He will miss and eat a counter left hook, straight right combo.

McGregor's not going to be able to land a punch. and while he misses one Floyd will land 3 or 4 because he has more speed and accuracy.

This is boxing. You do know that right? Yes they are stiffs. You think Eddie Alvarez, Jose Also or Chad Mendez could box Floyd Mayweather? Talk about losing credibility

I asked cause he was heavy on the leg kicks for two rounds and while diaz is hittable but i doubt he landed clean 50% of the time.

They're significant strikes landed because Fight Metric doesn't separate them into punches - it is very difficult but theoretically possible to work out how many punches Conor threw/landed but it's still guesswork.

I gave it a try anyway:

164/286 is the total strikes landed/thrown according to FightMetric.

40/45 landed on the leg. They were all leg kicks. So we can remove them.

26/29 body shots landed, which included 5 teeps, 6 knees and a missed whiff at Nate when he was falling over at the end of the round. We can remove the body shots that were not punches.

Then you have to watch the fight to count the elbows Conor threw to the head. I *believe* he threw 7 and landed 5.

Once you eliminate knees, kicks, elbows you're left with 108/205 which brings the punching accuracy down to 52.6% from 57%

But that's not an exact science because I can't be certain from the camera angles we get if a knee/elbow missed or connected.

"Clean" is open to interpretation.

Both CompuBox and Fight Metric count a "landed punch" as anything that lands with force but they don't differentiate further than that.

For example:

If Floyd throws a punch at Conor that hits Conor clean on the chin, it counts as a landed punch. If Floyd throws another punch that hits Conor's hand and the momentum carries it through to land on his rib cage, both FightMetric and CompuBox count that as a punch landed even though technically it was partially blocked on the way through.

So in the eyes of Compubox, both are punches that landed clean.

I watched a long interview with the founder of CompuBox and he explained that while it is subjective, their experts only push the button for "Landed" if the punch lands with *some* force and punches can still land with force even if they're deflected on the way to the target.

Maybe. But I'd prefer to live my life supporting someone with positive energy than to hover like a vulture waiting for them to mess up so you can take pleasure in their failure.

Why not just try and achieve greatness in your own career/life, rather than obsessing about Conor?

I don't think people are waiting for Conor to mess up 'like a vulture' its just people are realistic that he has never had a professional boxing fight and know that his chances are slim to none.

Conor will be late for his own funeral. :cool:
