People don't understand what happened in second fight.

[Deleted member 579771]

It was not calf kicks. They were not very detrimental for Conor, and he catched them quite effectively later on. Also Poirier is not better boxer, and it isn't the case that his boxing played a deciding factor. That fight was a repeat of Diaz fights, but Poirier has killer instinct and power which Nate doesn't has. And after dominating the beginning of the fight, Nate also had similar situation when he went on the offensive. But he is not a finisher, and Poirier is. Poirier is the toughest and the most ruthless slugger in lightweight and you can't passively defend agaist him and let him attack you unanswered. And since McGregor has only meager chance of knockout, he will inevitably slow down in the end of 2nd or in 3rd round, Poirier will beat him to tko. And calf kicks, boxing or any kinds of punches are completely irrelevent. It is just a innate qualities of fighters which can not be altered, what will always result in Poirier's win by TKO.

By first I meant second

Im glad TS is here to clear it up for us dummies.

You're a moron if you think that many hard calf kicks didn't effect his performance.

Reaching for calf kicks is not what you're supposed to do. He was setting himself up to eat a head kick.

He mentioned the wrong fight... hence I told him to shut up...

Conor wasn't really knocked out, his legs gave away, he fell and then ref simply had to stop the fight. I don't think Conor lost consciousness even for a second

>catched

Therein lies the problem, doesn’t it? Your op gave me heartburn. Way to be a casual, though. At least get the most basic of facts correct.

 

[PalmStrike]

1st fight ^^^

 

[Streeter]

Can't disagree much ........ I got it almost definitely as a 3rd rd TKO in this fight for DP. CONOR will look better but he will fade end of 2nd and get lit up the 3rd an tkod

 

[DRstrange]

This was a very eye opening post.

[GueseGuy]

Casuals don’t even know this is a trilogy

 

[Pathfinder]

Shut up...

It was not calf kicks

Dude, you can see Conor after the fight walking with a severe limp. Conor even acknowledged the effectiveness of those kicks and how they affected him in the fight.

 

[Trax]

Brother you thought their second fight was actually the first.. Casual alert system exploded, there is no way back.

Casuals don’t even know this is a trilogy

First fight is more like a Prologue. Like a fight number zero. It is completely irrelevent. 7 years before and in different weight.

Certainly. But they were not a deciding factor.
