Chris Van Heerden clearly impressed with what he saw of Conor in the sparring sessions they had...
"Does Conor have boxing skills? Yes he does"
"Do I think Conor can go anywhere in boxing if he focuses purely on boxing for a few months? Yes... Conor can make a noise..."
"He's got good boxing skills"
"clear he comes from a boxing background"
[interviewer] Do you think if he focussed on boxing he could actually get there?
[Van Heerden] Yes
[interviewer] Wow
[Van Heerden] Yes, I will say this.... I'm going to be honest and a straight shooter .... If Conor McGregor purely one his boxing skills and he's with an elite trainer.... Let's say Freddie Roach, and Freddie spends time with him for a few months focussing on purely boxing - I can see McGregor adjusting, his skill getting so much better and he's a fighter, it's what he does, he likes standup, so it is in him to fight.... It's not going to come overnight but I do see Conor (making it) ... He's a gutsy fighter
