Lets address the elephant in the room. Tony's defense is terrible for a top LW. Every fight he's in he gets tagged repeatedly coming in. Regarding his chin, Lando, who can be pretty sloppy at times, put him on queer street. Now I'm not saying he's not versatile and have good defensive in other aspects, but boxing wise his defense is atrocious.
People point to Nate to compare to Tony but its a different story. Nate rolls with punches well and usually gets hit at the end of punches. Tony has a BAD tendency to get hit coming in. Everybody Tony fights hits him coming in. The Lee and Barboza fight are great examples of this. Conor's bread and butter is Tony's weakness.
If anybody wants to bring up the grappling, Tony hasn't shown any real wrestling game. Most of his subs come from counter wrestling. Now who the fuck knows what Tony could pull out his ass grappling wise but otherwise this doesn't look good for him,
Keep it technical.
