You never boxed
his cardio wasn't great, definitely not good enough for even a 10 round boxing fight. Part of that was Floyd gameplanning to snipe the body early and often. He wrecked the body early then turned It up.You were impressed him?
I was slightly
But 80% of his performance was garbage
Gassing in 4 rounds
The only thing that was a highlight from the fight was his switch
I can see people giving him credit for lasting 10 rounds
But then look at the type of fighter he fought
And the fact that the fight was more of a business/entertainment
Cub is on a winstreak and probably one win away from a title shot.The fight with Korean Super was his last hurrah. Cub is a shadow of himself.
Who cares about the European promotions? Gunni is still unconscious from being ponzi schemes, and Taiwan's striking is awful he wins with his wrestling and grappling
Considering the population of Ireland too, I'd say it's pretty impressive. People don't call Ray Longo the Long Island Edmund or anything, so why is Kavanagh the Irish Edmund?Are we really still doing the Irish Edmund thing? When this is a guy who built a roster of guys who got to the UFC against all odds, some of whom have excelled, from a martial arts no man's land here in Ireland? Is he the world's best coach? Not likely, but he's clearly a very talented one and his results speak for themselves. This is a coach who coached Cathal fucking Pendred to a few wins in the UFC. That takes some coaching nous at the very least
Seriously, his boxing looked crappy in the Mayweather fight. Any regional boxing champ can KO him in one round
Yeah... foreman came out with some stupid shitGeorge Foreman and Mike Tyson would disagree with that sentiment hater
QFTBetter hands after exclusively training in a ring, with 3 minute rounds, with boxing gloves, against a bunch of sub-par boxers. How is that any different to what he was doing before???
One of his sparring partners for FLOYD FUCKING MAYWEATHER! Was Artem "under 500" Lobov.
Don't make me laugh.
most actual boxing guys give him credit. The MMA exclusive fans without much experience or knowledge In boxing don't really know enough to comment on anythingGeorge Foreman and Mike Tyson would disagree with that sentiment hater

Wonder if he is managed by wme
Or just trying to get a grandchild a fight with conor

Respect the grind *Especially when we look at atg boxers that were once at that super mega fight level comparable to Floyd like Foreman, Tyson, Sugar Ray, etc. none of then had a mean thing to say about Conor
Now i would agree normally
But with conor not even having a legit boxing trainer and still carrying on with the Irish Edmund as his coach
Does this deluded coach really think his hands will be better because he didn't train anything else?
Another "yes-men" scenario
Now I'm not bashing conor
But someone that trained in a legit boxing gym with a legit coach and had more amateur fights than conor has ever had
Conor didn't show much that shows he could be boxing full time and if he comes back to mma and just uses his boxing i see him being way too overconfident and get caught due to the fact he lost the massive size advantage that he had at 145

Truth hurts, and deny all you want but having himself as headcoach for the Mayweather fight was beyond hubris
I agreeWhat truth? Conor is most likely a better boxer today than he was a year ago.
