Anyone verify that was Conor? Looks like him, but could easily be an imposter!

I hope for his sake that wasn't actually him.

There's poor and there's that.

It was a charity event, what do you expect him coming out like Ali?

It was him.

Saw a longer video of that match. Its amazing that Conor would put himself in that kind of position...loads of people recording and the guy clearly wanted nothing more than to knock him out and make the newspapers lol. Conors defense looked good but not much offense, was kind of like a matador vs a bull.

It was a 4 round bout to raise money for charity. People are actually having a go at him for raising money for charity lmfao. Sad individuals. Not referring to you with that btw but the others in the thread.

Ah, it was fairly sloppy alright. Although there did seem to be a bit of decent movement in him (apart from the few lunges forward and falling in a bit). But his throwing was messy as fu*k.

He should be fit though. If they had a few months with him to train him intensively, he might win a fight or two in the Leinster Intermediates. If he got a decent draw.

MMA fighter in charity boxing match looks sloppy, shocker.

Donald Trump · 20-04-2019 9:29pm

It's not a charity boxing match. It's an annual show that they run every year.
He got in for a few rounds with his Yank padded headguard. I didn't think they were allowed here for competition. Maybe because they put it down as an exhibition. Probably officially a spar.

That said, if it was senior level, would have expected headgear anyway!

What were you expecting, his last boxing bout was against Mayweather, he's a 2 weight UFC champ with one of the best striking in the business, did you really think he'd go in against an amateur boxer and take his head off?? :pac::pac:

It's a fundraiser for the boxing club.
Certainly just an exhibition bout, not an official amateur boxing event. The reason for that kind of headgear is better protection against cuts. which should be a bigger concern for a pro fighter imo.

Best "striking" maybe in the sense of going on strike and not defending the belts. :pac:

He was supposed to have boxed a bit when he was younger. One might have expected him to be a bit more composed. That's all.

So you think something went wrong in his preparation? Maybe he needed a longer camp for this fundraiser bounce around.

TerrorFirmer · 22-04-2019 9:23pm

I didn't bother watching the footage but I can only assume (perhaps incorrectly, who knows) that McGregor was hardly out to knock his opponents block off given the specific circumstances? Seems like a real non-issue for discussion. It was just a bit of light hearted craic a million miles away from serious competitiveness.

What a tool. I hope he comes back and gets sparked again.

The Fail though - "Till, who last fought in May against Jorge Masvidal"

ASOT · 23-04-2019 6:24pm

Boss Logic finally getting the recognition he deserved, this is massive. Mad how the ufc haven't hired him yet.

John Kavanagh liked this tweet. Tin foil hat time

Why tin foil hat? John was well looked after by Conor from my understanding.

I'd say TJ wished he was a boxer rather than an mma fighter, Jarrell Miller only got a 6 month ban for filing three different tests, one for epo. That's mental.
