    Bonkers assertion. Do you think the average lad is taking on Katie Taylor and winning?.

    Yes...quite possibly. Maybe not skill wise, but he'd knock her clean out the second he lands one shot, and she is not near un-hittable.....

    Plus, for all her talent, she can't burst a grape....

    I have trained very average white collar lads that would knock her clean out once they landed.....

    This is MEN V WOMEN.......It's a no contest.....

    You train boxers? I'm very surprised this is your opinion then. I've well over a decade's experience in various martial arts - if they land is one thing but I'vwe seen big strong but inexperienced lads struggle to lay a finger on women or much smaller men with good head movement and footwork.

    You may well know more than me though and I'll agree to disagree even if I'm wrong, as we're dragging the thread off topic.

    McGregor himself is 1.73m - just under 5 foot 7 - it's manlet size.

    I've seen him out in Dublin - he's a small guy.

    I would actually attribute this to some of his issues - small man syndrome.

    He's a trained fighter but a much bigger guy will have a good chance of dominating him even if he's not a pro fighter - depending on the circumstances e.g. a tight space for example - that's why have divisions in boxing and mma etc

    Mcgregor has big arm length for size and is a well built 155r, yes he is on the short side. But no way in hell an untrained fighter stands a chance against him unless size difference is massive i.e the mountain v mcgregor.
    Just takes one kick to head and its not just as simple as grabbing him and picking him up with pro-fighters wrestling and jiu-jitsu no matter how big and strong u were be hard.

    This is gotten farcical. MMA analysts like Noel O Keefe have been recently vocal about how dangerous some matchups have been recently in smaller events where people without a win (but trained in mma) matching up with people with 10 wins and how dangerous it could be.

    And now people are saying that a world champion elite fighter could be dominated by a much bigger amateur. The same elite fighter who was so quick that they slipped in a KO punch against Aldo, wouldn't be a match for a much bigger amateur.

    Is this really what the world has come to....people thinking they can even get a touch on an elite fighter, because they are 5 inches and 20lbs of fat more?

    I said in certain circumstances - nobody was saying they would beat McGregor in an octagon. But a much bigger and stronger (well built and not fat) guy in tight spot bar fight with no space in a crowd - different situation completely and size and strength are a big advantage there.

    anyway my point is that I believe that him being such a short-arse is linked to his aggression issues (sucker-punching older lads in bars, trolley-throwing, phone-smashing etc) and possibly the "allegations" regarding women also.

    Do you think you would beat up Conor McGregor in a fight in a pub with a crowd? Ya know he is also a brown belt in BJJ?

    did I say that, no I didn't.

    I didn't even say that a much bigger and stronger guy would beat him in a pub fight in a tight crowd - I said that it's an advantage for the bigger and stronger guy there in that situation and the bigger guy has a better chance - I didn't say who would win. I don't know who would win but the result is not a given.

    something suggests he also thinks under the right circumstances hed score a goal in the FA Cup final, successfully flirt with Heidi Klum and keep up with Usain Bolt for 75 metres in the Olympic final. Fcuk it, its all about a tight spot in a bar and being bigger.

    He would have you hit 4 times at least before u even throw a punch with speed and skill difference, no matter how tight the space was and no matter where the venue. So u want be a hell of a tough guy to think u stand any chance.
    Anyways I think u probly have a point though on the short-arse idea of why he so aggressive in normal life. He would like to think he is heavyweight champ, any weight anytime he said many times, even calling out brock lesnar years ago but when usman called him out recently for title fight he went very quiet. He would get murdered by heavier divisions in UFC.

    Back to the thread subject again, I see kavanagh has posted again yday from Vegas with positive mention to Conor. Would he keep doing this if Conor is out there wreaking havoc on innocent people??

    I’v€ no id€a why. I gu€$$ h€‘$ ju$t a good pal. €€€€€.

    What odds would Paddy Power give do ya think?

    Why would a tight crowd help? Probably worse for the big lad if he cant get a punch off and Conor just takes him down and does literally whatever he wants to him.

    Actually I can't believe I'm discussing this...:pac:

    right. he wins. every time. with each hand holding a fanboy's cock on either side of him so he can only use his head.

    moving on then ->

    About him being a total short-arse - what's your opinion on that making him have an aggressive chip on his shoulder?

    Maybe, think he's 5 foot 8 which isn't far off average height for men in Ireland I think.

    Fighters and aggressive lads come in all shapes and sizes though.

    that's true.

    I certainly do think that it plays a part though.

    Probably more especially if you're involved in an aggressive business...

    Call me old fashioned but I don’t believe there is any lady on earth who would be able to beat me in a fight. Just saying.
    And I think only few females from the animal kingdom could maybe get the better of me in an unarmed combat, such as a tiger, grizzly bear, elephant or lioness.

    You'd get your ass kicked so hard.

    It's all well and good IF the woman doesn't get hit...but that is not the way things always work out.....

    Seen it so much....males in with females across all ages and experiences....it's glaring how clearly superior the males are in terms of what really matters, power and strength....

    That is why when sparring, the males have to go a lot easier......

    Even a female that is clearly bigger will still struggle against the smaller male...the power and strength is with the male....

    Katie could out-think and outmaneuver and outsmart all she wants against a non trained average man.....I get this.....but the second the man lands clean, and he will always have that chance, it's lights out....end of...

    I dont see how this Mrs X would batter Mr Y nonsense has anithing to do with the thread.

    I feel this allegation is going to just fizzle out and we will hear no more about it.

    I wonder about the 3 allegations now - 2 in Ireland and the one here.

    The two in Ireland are much more serious, most especially the one from December 2018.

    Still does seem highly "unlucky" out of the thousands of wealthy sports people out there, that this individual in particular has manged to rack up 3 allegations of sexual assault against him in less than 2 years.

    Well 3 allegations is alot. By the sound of his behaviour in this allegation, he at least exposed himself, showing his lad to a woman outside the toliets.

    Its horrible behaviour no matter what way you paint it.

    But to do it when on the holiday with the misses.

    No shame, no considerstion.... zero fcuks given

    yes, it's scumbag behaviour for sure and you can end up in jail for it.

    although the reports from the guards in the newspapers about the December 2018 incident are on a whole different other level of seriousness.

    not inconceivable that the situation of a posse of boozed-up and coked-up scummers in a hotel on their third day of a bender where the "leader" is turned down in front of his gang by a woman could end up in a bad bad way very quickly.

    You could say the same about, say, your average big fat rugby player vs. any lighter weight boxer.



    You'll also know well yourself that one of the first things that a person gets used to is getting hit on the nose. The very first few times someone gets a punch, their eyes will water. It's a bit of a shock to the system. Someone who has never been hit before might find out that they go down a lot quicker and easier than they thought....even if it is a girl hitting them a relatively soft dig.

    You're talking tripe lad, Katie held her own with Paddy Barnes on numerous occasions in the pre Olympic high performance camp. Paddy would be the first to admit he wasn't holding back anything and he had a lot easier fights with men at international level. Any of the other lads that were there will tell you the same.

    She couldn't burst a grape, did you see the state of Delfine Pearson's face and head after the last fight?

    As for your white collar lads knocking her clean out if they landed, the trick is landing the punch not being capable of having a knock out punch. They might look handy up against another lad that did six weeks training but that's not going to cut the mustard against someone who is at home in the ring.

    Again lad, your talking about a boxing match, not a fight. She’d probably batter any of us in a boxing match. A fight is completely different, in a fight she might try to get in close to work the body so the bloke can’t swing a ko haymaker, but she’d then have to deal with headbutts, elbows, knees etc.

    Oh sweet Lord in Heaven, do you have any comprehension at all of the sweet science?

    A fight is completely different?

    Have you ever even seen two amateur boxers at it up close?
