Conors MMA Strength and Conditioning...

An MMA fighters core strength is out of this world.  It will drain you, it will take from your speed, power, endurance, etc...

Even though Paulies boxing technique is light years ahead of Conors, Malignagi at times looked like a bum off the street in the ring against Conor.  

FLoyds base and balance could get all fucked up by Conor and Mayweather could end up looking like a flailing journeyman at times.

It will be sort of like a BJJ guy in a Grappling only fight against a High Level wrestler who knows BJJ but may not be as good at it as the BJJ guy.

The core strength of the wrestler will fuck up the BJJ guys rythm, balance and base.  

Conors overhook, headlock and other clinch positions could fuck mayweather up.

An mma guy just tweaking an overhook will fuck your shoulder up. and just a little extra squeeze on a 1 second front headlock from an MMA guy will fuck your neck up for weeks.

Conor could just hug him hard and mayweathers spine will get fucked up.

IF you get into a clinch with an MMA guy and they just move you from side to side you feel like all your limbs have ripped off even though from the outside it may look like nothing.

Tangling with an MMA fighter is just a different universe.  They can fuck up your neck, back, shoulders, joints by just playing with you.

This is the x factor in my opinion... if Conor can rough Mayweathers joints ligaments and tissues up enough he can then tee off on him.

Technique will only go so far... a black belt in BJJ becomes a white belt when he gets punched in the face...

I believe Mayweather could turn into a white belt boxer if Conor attacks the ligaments, tendons, joints and tissues during the clinching.  

the normal clinching/grappling that goes on in a boxing match is all an mma guy needs to fuck someone up.  MMA guys are just different animals.

Superb insight and perspective on the 'hidden' dynamics of this fight.

Malignaggi looked like a 12 year old boy flailing around the ring against a 200 pound linebacker...

MMA core strength is no joke.  MMA guys can make anyone outside of MMA and wrestling feel like they're a 12 year old kid who just locked up with a Bear.

I don't know too many 12 year old boys who would last 36 minutes in a fight with a bear. Must have been Winnie the Pooh. Try again..

With 16oz pillows and headgear... he would have been flatlined if he ate that straight left with 8oz gloves.

Woulda, coulda, shoulda we'll never know. It was a good straight left up the pipe. The rest is just speculation.

The thing is that Floyd has always been underrated in the clinch, his greco is legit, plus he will headbutt and elbow if he feels the need. 

If Conor starts making it real rough on the inside or dirty, it wouldn't be surprising to see Floyd respond accordingly.





With the stakes so high this has the vibe of a fight that could have something truly crazy happen.





Victor Ortiz: &quot;On the headbutt: &quot;I did the headbutt, but only because <strong>I told Cortez twice he used the elbow on my eyebrow, my right eyebrow. And I said, 'Cortez! Elbow! Elbow!' </strong>and he says, 'Fight out of it!' <strong>And then Mayweather's smiling at me</strong>, so I was like, 'Alright. BOOM!' But after that I got apologetic, and I apologized. I got deducted for the point and then nothing happened to him from the headbutt. It would've been something else if I would've gashed him open. It would've been a bad thing. But at the same time, I was deducted, I paid for what I had to pay for, and I was apologetic to him. And I really meant it, sincerely. I was like, 'Dude, OK, I got caught up in the moment, I'm sorry. That was very unsportsmanlike.'&quot;</p>

Yes the front headlock will be the key to his success.

…the fuck outta here.

I don't know too many 12 year old boys who would last 36 minutes in a fight with a bear. Must have been Winnie the Pooh. Try again..

Don't pay attention. He's just on UFC payroll to sell the fight.
