He’s very quick and hits you with shots you don’t see coming due to great footwork and counters. Completely different animal than Cain who marches forward and punches hard.
Technique wise? Sure, but Cain simulates the looming threat of a KO very well.
As I've stated, I believe this is a way for Khabib to prepare psychologically for the fight. Khabib absolutely needs to be dominant to win the fight, he can't hesitate due to fear of a potential KO.
Conor by front kick
There are plenty of fast boxers at AKA. Cain just taught Khabib how to close the distance.
Khabib is going to be diving for Conor’s lead leg from the sound of the bell. Rinse and repeat until it works. He wants nothing to do with Conor’s hands. Hope he catches a knee to the dome when he comes diving in low.
I'm an Aldo fan but he was donezo after that first punch. But if we're going down that road, yeah you're right. BJM knee was probably the worse though.
Johnson tagged Khabib pretty decently yet he didn't really show he was hurt. Johnson might not be as technical as McGregor but he definitely has KO power. His odds are fine. The only odds people should be worried about are McGregor's chances of getting a knockout. Because when Khabib takes him down it will look a lot like his fight against Johnson.
It's also obvious that Khabib has a greater chance of winning. But can't tell that to the McNuggets.
