Chris van Heerden's response to Conor's sparring video

Damnnnnnnnn

"Conor's happy as hell to get a Reebok deal, maybe his soul he'd sell to have mass appeal"

That's irrelevant as im not a professional fighter. Like I've said, his style works in MMA for sure but he didn't look good against a decent boxer.

WTF man didn't you hear? He can take on Floyd! And he drops world champs with body shots!
 
Didn't see any of the videos, I was under the rock for a few days...

Conor isn't a Boxer. Sure he is a Jnr Ammy Champion but is stylistically a Karate and TKD striker. Conor works to his best drawing his opponents into dead spaces, something he did masterfully when he defeated José. I wouldn't like to see him try change his style but adding to his game. I want to see him make submission attempts in the future... Maybe not against Nate though.

I'm sure there are certain posters here that think he could give Floyd a competitive fight lol

I am talking about the most basic boxing technique that most mma guys lack. Such as dropping your arm after a jab, dropping arms exposing their chin while punching with the other hand, lack of head movement, etc.
Things I am talking about have nothing to do with mma being a different sport with different dynamics. Those are basics that are applicable in both sports. MMA guys just lack even the basics which is crazy if you think about how much they train.

The guy has legit striking skills, but his boxing isn't all that.

I agree with that for sure. You don't knock Jose Aldo out in 13 with mediocre striking skills. Dude is skilled as fuck, he just needs to control that ego.
 
Didn't realize cCnor was talking shit to him the whole time while sparring guess that explains why Chris is so bitter

The quality of striking in MMA is extremely poor for the most part, just winging overhands and sloppy 1-2s.

Dude's probably never been to a gym lol

Hardkore said:
I think he's saying that in relation to the other striking arts.

I think he has no clue what the fuck he is talking about lol
But whatever, who cares
 
I just watched the edited video and was thinking it's strange that every 5 seconds it's an edited clip then came to sherdog and saw this thread. Lol
