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.

Seems a pretty sad waste of energy to me!

Again with the "hating"! Christ on a ****ing bike. You're absolutely delusional.

Sad waste of energy? Try relentlessly crawling through other people's post history.

I am a massive United fan. I didn't think we had any chance really against Real Madrid a few days ago........ MUFC who is one of the best teams in the world, at least top 10 had no chance against RMFC. What I am saying is that while I love some teams I live in realism..... Conor has like a chance to beat Floyd for sure but its like 0001%, If floyd fought in MMA imo his chances would be way lower.

If Conor does get that puch and knocks Floyd out ill celebrate. If Conor out boxes floyd (wont happen) I'll happily be wrong.

Honest question Eagerer, do hate Conor himself as much as you seem to hate his big fans ?

From looking in it does seem at times that you for want of a better phrase ''get off'' on bashing his supporters that he does give hope to. I can understand frustration and the such but believing in something that brings you positive energy is hardly a bad thing and does not need to be ridiculed as such.

His fan have said its unlikely he will win but have been able to atleast in wonders case articulate it to a degree.

Whilst Floyds fans have openly mocked Conors for having the gaul to say he may have a chance however low but ''I'' believe in him.

Is it jelously or lack or something to believe in or god knows what ?

Again, the "hate" comments. Everything is about being a hater on this forum. It's not a ****ing Justin Bieber fan club. Everything is portrayed as an "attack" as if you're somehow under siege. I've never come across a more sensitive bunch in my life

For the record, I'm not the first and I certainly won't be the last to joke about tears and saltiness here.

As for "his fans have said it's unlikely he'll win", again I'll point out that wonder has clearly stated he now thinks McGregor will win. I've yet to see any reason offered by anyone to justify this prediction other than "I love Conor McGregor".

We're up...........

As JK says the sun will rise Sunday morning and life will go on as usual, with everyone involved even more rich than Saturday, there will be a day of bragging on here for the Floyd backers (1/6 favourite hardly an earth shattering prediction).

Why waste time in your own career/life worrying about how others choose to view things. It's extremely unlikely McGregor won't win, everyone gets that. Some sad wasters here are trying to suck the life out of the entire event.

"Your tears will taste magnificent?" I mean that is embarrassingly pathetic stuff. Its just a fight. I think people need to cop on a bit

I presume you meant it's extremely unlikely he will win?

Of course it's pathetic - that's the point. I don't actually give a **** about him, I just find his delusion and devotion laughable. It was a response to his backing away from his initial misleading portrayal of statistical analysis (again, it's becoming quite common for him) with a childish, nothing answer in "49-1".

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.

Yes but is this theoretical 108 landed clean.?

"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.

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.

Good luck getting punch only stats for an mma bout

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.

McGregor hasnt left the house going by the teams social media, wont be on time for that thing at 11 anyways.
