It was either miss hard, with the Floyd fight, or through laughably light arm punches. So, look foolish whiffing, or look stupid throwing pitter-patter shots that any schoolgirl would laugh at.
But, hey, that's the poison you pick making your boxing debut against one of the greatest ever. Luckily, he has $100M or so to make him feel better about it.
True!! Conor does best with all of his skillsets. Boxing is a very technical sport that takes years of solid devotion to excel in even at a regional or national level let alone to be world class. When you measure the experience level of two top boxers fighting for a title if you actually take the time to view their resumes you're looking at multiple time regional champs, national champs, world champs, Olympic level, multi weight division professional champs. I think people see the act of punching, and it gets devalued.
I offer anyone to go into a reputable boxing gym, and spar with a competitive boxer then they'll understand. I've personally competed in exhibitions (smokers), been a gym regular and I've been a sparring partner for many of my gym's competitive (USA Boxing registered) boxers. Even at my level I've toyed with guys coming in who wanted to go some rounds. Many of these guys weighing well over 200plus (I'm 175lbs). Many of these guys with backgrounds in other striking arts.
Conor didn't even have a boxing coach in his corner for that fight!!
However, Conor did make something like $100m lol.
