Ah he wasn't really... if you watch him on the maize bag the power he's putting into that without even having to sit down hard then compare it to what McGregor is doing is light and day imo.

He cycles in gym shoes and his cycling partners are 40 y/o videographers and doctors. Or fat lads from his entourage out cyling in jeans. Not surprised he gasses so easily, his cardio routine is just a show to sell Macfast VHS tapes.

The doctor is a decent cyclist in fairness, but the others are a joke. Julian cruising on a mountain bike while the others are breaking their balls on 4 grand carbon road machines.

It's gone back in to 8/11, if it goes evens again I'm selling a kidney to raise capital to lump on it.

I get paid the salary on the 24th, half tempted to just throw it all on Floyd via KO/TKO...... if the fight is all above board it will happen fairly easily.

Not for 36 fooking mins he wasnt...this is a shambles...has Conor ever seen a boxing media workout cos this is the worst ive ever seen

Mr.Nice Guy

Wow he looks gassed to hell. He tended to fade in the later rounds against Nate and this workout doesn't suggest improved cardio.

What exactly is bad about his bag work? Floyd was tipping the heavy bag last night.

Well mostly his footwork, and how he's sitting (or not sitting) down on his punches. He's tapping them mostly, very little lat engagement or transfer force.

But like I said, most of this seems just for the cameras, fancy stances and flash stance switches and slip and rips etc.

Love this vid

I know that, that's what I was pointing out... But people were asking what's so bad about his form on the bags, just answering.

His mate in the shades is a awful tool standing their.

How much?

How much is a kidney running these days?

I was hoping he'd work the pads with Roddy. That's usually when you see his best striking and movement.

Lol at waterboy Byrne "beautiful work" while looking on with a serious look on his face, hilarious.

Hater.

Nah, in all seriousness, I don't think this is real. Like all myths though, there's an element of truth in there somewhere.

The cardio does seem worrying - add getting punched to the face and body repeatedly to what you're seeing here and it doesn't bode well.

Is anyone else thinking about just lumping on Floyd via KO?

Like Floyd says, switching stance saps energy. McGregor hasn't settled into one stance for more than two combos.

All just camera stuff, flexing, etc. Like ardinn said, if McGregor positioned himself like this Paulie would've destroyed him. McGregor is obviously going to react to someone differently than a bunch of bags.

I agree yes hes dancing from bag to bag ect with different shots but you have to question his cardio, he works very hard clearly workrate wise but for someone on about efficiency my armchair view of this is worry for his cardio he looks fatiguing to me just hitting a few bags.

ardinn

Surely if conor was this bad pauly margheritta would have been all over it by now, it's all a ruse - I hope!

Awh any hope I had of him doing the impossible is gone now...looks like a sky sports sat freebie fight night not the elite boxers that we see on PPV...Jeez I hope for his sake he's holding back otherwise he's getting knocked the fcuk out...Ricky Hatton looked a bigger puncher than Conor and we all know what happened him:eek:

The difference in him v Floyd hitting the bag is very noticeable, Floyd was going easier but hardly took a breath, Conor explosive shots clearly tire him hes heavy breathing after that first round on the bag imo.

Yep, Floyd's power on his hook especially was noticeable. McGregor expends a lot of energy but in fairness he's dancing around the bags, Floyd was just wandering shuffling and unloading. McGregor is sweating and panting because he's doing his best to paint a picture he'll 'float like a butterfly, sting like a bee'.

In the ring it'll be totally different, Floyd will have to move with him. They'll both be working up a good sweat in the first round.

I do think Floyd has the power advantage, in a big way. You don't spend your life solely working on punching without knowing how to channel that kinetics into your fist without thinking.

If McGregor is as stiff as he is here I think Floyd will drop him easily with a body shot.
