Here are ALL frames of Joe Cortez in that clip and they CLEARLY show that Joe raises his right hand towards Conor and advances towards him and it is not until he is right beside him that we even see his left hand move from his side and at NO POINT do his hands cross!!
Gintonious wrote: » The second last frame man! He is bringing his left hand in to signal no knockdown. When you watch the video back you can see it clear as day. If he was telling Conor to go to a corner he would be pointing clearly. Its cut before you see it fully...I wonder why? :rolleyes:

Outlaw Pete wrote: » Bullshit. One minute you say he DID signal no-knockdown and now you're saying he is bringing his hand up as he is about to signal a no-knockdown. Absolute baloney. Here's the LAST frame and his hands are at least six inches apart as you can see Joes right sleeve to the right of McGregor's arm thereby making it impossible for him to simultaneously be crossing his hands when one of them is six inches away ............. Nice try though.

Subcomandante Marcos wrote: » And you're ignoring the blatantly obvious. You can clearly see Conor pushing down Paulie's head, you can clearly see him pulling him, you can clearly see Paulie going over before the last hook comes in and you can clearly see him hopping straight back up. And you can clearly see Cortez waving it off as a no knockdown. As I said above, if it was a knockdown, why would they cut the SECOND Cortez gets in the middle? Why wouldn't they show the standing 8? why didn't they use the original image files instead of cropping them and degrading the quality? Because they wanted to pull a fast one on gullible people who won't ask these questions and deflect from the bad press Conor's workout was getting.

Outlaw Pete wrote: » You're caught waffling, Gintonious :P First you said Joe had crossed his hands, signalling a knockdown: And then when it's pointed out that you are making s*** up, seeing what you want to see.... you change your tune and now it's that Joe was ABOUT to signal.......... Like I said, nice try.......... but Joe's wrists are nowhere near each other in that last frame and that's why you've now changed your story.

When will we see one of Floyd's full sparring sessions in training for the fight released? When does anyone ever release a full video of a sparring session for an upcoming fight? Its an absurd request/expectation. There's very obvious reasons its not something anyone ever does under any circumstances. Under any cirmunstances, in any fight, it would be an incredibly stupid thing to do, which is why it isn't done. In this particular fight, it would be infinitely more self handicapping.

To me he had the look of a man who was punch drunk, it reminds me of a bout I had 15 years ago, lolz, the same flopping. Was it maybe exhaustion from Pauli, maybe, but he was ****ed either way and that is why he ended up on the canvas, push or no push.

Now, the big question is does he freeze and look overly silly and inept due to the magnitude of the event and the stage and the sport?
Naos wrote: » walshb wrote: » In a sport he practices against men he can beat...../quote] Right, but before he beat those men he was told he'd lose pretty much every time (Holloway, Chad, Diaz 1&2, Aldo, Alvarez). Why would he though? Everything we have seen from him thus far shows he excels when the pressure is on even under adversity, so why should this be any different? Ok, he doesn't freeze, doesn't look silly and fights his heart out... And still gets his ass whupped..
