Connor would not beat a world class boxer in above the waist KB

[Grijswaarde]

Serious about what, that Conors kicks suck? Yes.... Even compared to me.. But hey, my father is only a European Gold medalist for Yugoslavia in JKA Karate. And Yugoslavian champ (Yugoslavia was a top 5 nation).

Conors kicks are overrated

I'd expect most top boxers to school him in above the waist kick boxing

My father was once assaulted as a bouncer and people freaked out in the casino, for the assailant to stop The attacker later learned whom he attacked and was honoured to get floored by a Karate champion

YUP.

I think this guy is actually serious about this shit lol. For real.

Well, he does have a point that Conor is nothing special as a kicker. To say he's a beginner is ridiculous though.

Lets say I'm a bad kicker but i box great. And my oponnent is even a better boxer then me. Hmm? Maybe learn some kicks? .

It won't do any good if you're facing a World Champion boxer. I'm not even boxer yet I'm 100% behind them under american kickboxing rules. They own all of us, if they're boxing champs. or contenders.

So somebody related to you was a national champ for a country that hasn't existed for 25 years and that makes you a better kicker than a current multiple weight MMA world champion?

IHe is a great athlete, thats all. Throws a few kicks for fun. Specialised kickers are fucked in American Kickboxing against boxing Champs, and Connor has trained TKD 3 times a week for about a year...

Yes, genetics don't matter at all... Floyds father wasn't a great boxer, O wait.....<45>

Floyd didn't come out of the womb with boxing world titles, he won them himself. Sorry to disappoint you but your dear old daddy's very moderate achievements from a very long time ago haven't automatically made you into Floyd Mayweather.

Moderate achievements? He gets a pension for his european gold by the government. That's a pretty high status.

If Floyd knew Conors level of kicking, I'm sure he would agree to an above the waist kickboxing bout.

Because it only takes a beginner to kick out the knees of Maywheather especiallt when you're that much longer and taller than Floyd and he has 0 experience with it.

Kick out the knees?? Low kicks are prohibited in American Kickboxing rules. Where do you mean conor can kick him?

Why did you even reference Rogan? He said Conor would kick his legs out too.

So in the OP you state Rogan is crazy about what he is talking about then say Conor can't beat Floyd in a rule set that doesn't allow kicking the legs. That's a very stupid way to address it.

What I said applies if he was allowed to kick him in the legs. I'm sure Rogan was also referring to practically MMA without the worry of a TD not a specifically ruled kickboxing match especially not one stupid enough to not allow low kicks whenever that was the attack Rogan specifically named.

 

[savemgs]

yep Conor would do so bad. Kenny did ok.

 

[RJ43]

I'm red stripe in Connors kicking style - ITF TKD (3 and a half years of training). Spotting a beginner is fairly easy. Tell me how a beginner at kicking beats a boxer in american rules kickboxing?? Even a good kicker can be beaten and he's not even good.

Oh well why didn't you say in the beginning you were a RED STRIPE with 3 (and a half) years of training! No one would have questioned your analysis of a man that is actually out there fighting the best fighters in the world.

And how do most American kickboxers do in a less restrictive standup ruleset like MT in Thailand? In Thailand, specifically...not against shitty Americans wearing Thai shorts.

A guy with approximately 1 year of ITF TKD will not be sufficient. I have 3 and a half years, can hold my own against national level guys, and it would still be madness to put me in a ring with a boxer, despite having above the waist the kick advantage.

Michael Jai White (TKD black belt) does not believe high kicks allowed would make a difference:
