Atlas says he watched a couple of Conors "Bigger" fights and sees hes a calculated counter puncher. Same as Floyd just, of course, not even close to the same level.
Jim Lampley essentially says the same thing. That he recently saw a couple McGregor fights and realized hes a counter puncher not an attacker. That hes not going to attack Floyd and its going to be a terribly boring fight.
The boxing world as a whole lives in a bubble. Conor attacks with a furious pace when he needs to. But when he knows the other fighter is coming for him aggressively he counter attacks. He can fight and knock you out going forward or backward.
Ive said before. These guys don't even know Floyds opponent yet they are analyzing the fight. Boxing is a bubble where they think the world of combat sports cant touch them. Its just a bunch of cans compared to the "Sweet Science".
Conor probably will not win but for these assholes to basically imply that he doesn't punch people in the face for a living....and is a 2 time world champion at it? I think Atlas called him a "pedestrian". They just don't know what the fuck they're talking about. They don't follow MMA or its evolution. They cant even imagine somebody from *ANY* combat sport having ANY success in a boxing ring with top boxers. They have their heads stuck up their asses IMO.
