It was early in my opinion, the ref looked to me to be 2nd guessing himself.
Beautiful body combination by Aldo to KO Stephens, but Aldo was leaning+back foot was off the ground

You've heard some discredit Conor's masterful counter KO of Aldo over the years on sherdog
"Bu but made technical errors/jumped in due to being emotional"
And yet you watch Aldo KO Stephens, and it was the exact same case there, and to an even greater extent. Aldo jumped in leaning forward. His backfoot was literally off the ground
Look at his back foot completely off the ground
In fact Aldo was actually much more tighter and much more technically correct against Conor
As you can see there, Aldo was much tighter against Conor.
- Isnt leaning in as much. Much more subtle in his intentions, and his backfoot never actually leaves off the ground
Just compare, and you will see Aldo WAS actually "reckless" against Stephens. Aldo actually did make technical errors against Stephens
It's like with Anderson Silva fans. When ever Anderson "clowned" an opponent and it worked "omg amazing"
Yet when ever a better fighter would make Anderson pay for doing what he's always done..."doesn't count" and insert random excuse here ___
ALDO HAS ALWAYS "JUMPED IN"
And this isn't a thread to diminish Aldo nor his great win. This is simply to expose the ignorant double standards from sherdog posters
You cant praise Aldo for this win, yet then excuse or diminish his losses, just because....
In every single fight Aldo is always leaning in/jumping in etc
Aldo has always had major issues with being jumpy to fients and or over-extending in boxing exchanges
A much better fighter to Aldo in Conor, simply made Aldo pay for doing what he's always done against lesser fighters
That's why, skill wise and stylistically, Conor will always wreck Aldo.
Conor with his sophisticated fienting systems, Lead hand radar systems, footwork, range control and immaculate counter punching skill will always have Aldo jumpy/over-extending/and walking into - or "jumping" into his counters etc
This is why Holloway beat Aldo. His fients+jabs kept Aldo continually off set. His length, chin, and pressure then would eventually overwhelm him
All though to be fair, Aldo has a much greater chance of beating Holloway then ever coming close to Conor.
Conor's footwork and counter punching are a death sentence for Aldo...where as in both fights vs Holloway, Aldo has had lots of success against Holloway....Its just a matter of Aldo having the right gameplan against Holloway (which I can go into detail for another post)
So anyway the point is,
Don't discredit or diminish Conor's and Holloway's wins over Aldo. Aldo has always had the same strengths AND FLAWS. Conor and Holloway are simply better fighters. No excuses.
Just because Aldo beat Stephens that doesnt mean he's now suddenly ever coming close to Conor McGregor who has vastly superior boxing skill and striking skill to Aldo
And Holloway will always be a very tough fight for Aldo, that Aldo will have to have the perfect gameplan for and fight his best fight to beat
Much respect to Aldo for his win. This thread is simply about adressing the double standard excuses people make for his losses, and about keeping realistic expectations in check
Now after saying what I feel needed to be said, Aldo vs Ortega would be an absolutely great fight. Even Aldo vs Mendes 3 is there too. Imagine what a BARN BURNER that fight would be?
LOL
Conor Obvious fanboy, desperately trying to claim Conor would beat Aldo every time.... when Conor proved him wrong by ducking aldo multiple times....
Conor FORFEITED HIS BELT rather than rematch ALdo.
If it was that easy, he would have done it in a heartbeat.

This guy needs help. How many times has he banned and he still keeps coming back.
Meanwhile, Conor praised Aldo, said he was happy for him, didn't put himself in any way and just said he was happy for a fellow fighter. This idiot always ends up bringing Conor in, no matter the subject.
Seriously TS, go out. There is more to life than Conor.

Conor being a southpaw counter striker is the main difference between Stephens orthodox boxing style. Aldo can lean all he wants while throwing power shots against othodox strikers with close to equal reach. Aldo can take puniahment from orthodox boxers. Conor is just a bad matchup for Aldo because he can sneak in those hard straight lefts.

He didn't lean nearly as much against stephens.
But leaning into a taller fighter is nor an abnormality. If the taller southpaw capitalizes, merit for him.

1. Timing
2. He's clearing leaning more against Conor. His his is over his lead foot against Stephens but well past his lead foot against conor

Lol you have no idea who you're talking to bud, I too remember that fight very well like it was yesterday i loved naz entrance long as fuck though.
But why don't you correct be on my "bs"?
What is it naz going life n death with Kelly? Because naz was getting dropped and tagged a lot in that back n forth encounter.
Fun fight but it was back n forth no doubt about it
On a side note ill school the fuuck out of you if you wanna talk boxing history

His love for Conor is straight out embarrassing.
Wonder if he had the rope ready when Floyd showed Conor what its truly like to have amazing hands at the age of 40.
Probably spams that one uppercut gif (which shows Floyd's brilliance) and Conor behind floyd photo.

I'm having fun tho. <45><45> He's obsessing over someone who doesn't even know he exists. He's already a loser.
Next round to face Conor. <45><45>Any middleweight that Conor faces wrecks him. He ain't doing shit in an open weight tournament.
It ain't just DC, retard. Worst heavyweight fighter wrecks and sends Conor into a coma but hey, Conor is still a better fighter in the hospital bed.

Lmao did he just say Conor is a far superior fighter to DC?
Lmao yet Conor always beats Floyd in a "real fight" because of take downs and subs.
Lmao these guys are straight out embarrassing, imaging being in love with another man that doesn't know you exist.
Pathetic

I'm a Conor fan but this is just retarded. Think about this, he has been banned 4 times now and he still keeps coming back to praise Conor.
But bro, Conor outgrappled Holloway, that's gotta count for everything. <45>

I see Conor as an entertaining fighter and that's it. Imagine thinking of someone 24/7 who couldn't give a shit about your existence.
<45><45><45><45>
Answer my question, manlet. Who wins a fight, DC or Conor?
Fucking moron.
