Agreed on all points. What I'm more inferring is that if they can hurt him, Conor can too, not because RDA's skill level is the same as it was, but because Conor has the power to. Of course RDA has improved by leaps and bound since then, it just makes me think that if Conor can sneak one through, we at least know he's capable of hurting RDA. (I suppose Stephens isn't a great example though, because I think he literally leapt off the ground throwing it if I recall correctly.)
True. I want to re-watch RDA's last few fights, I'm not going back too far for obvious reasons.
Yes he is, and yeah, Conor has definitely never faced someone like RDA before. That said, RDA hasn't faced someone with Conor's boxing and kicking ability, at least not that I'm aware of. That's why I want to watch their last few fights. Conor talking the way he is is either him being a showman or he really sees something exploitable in the way RDA fights. Conor also responds to pressure better than Pettis or Cerrone.
In any event, I'm super pumped for this fight.
