Conor has accuracy, not raw knockout power

[Lissove]

He seldom finished his fighters knocking them out out cold except recently Jose where Jose had big momentum moving forward and Conor connected cleanly on the chin.

Nate's like "you don't believe the shit you say, they believed it" is absolutely on point since most of the time the fighters Conor hits end up in this shocked state where they don't know what to do even when the hit was jusy a weak left hook, allowing Conor to do the follow up shots and TKO them.

He didn't finish Diaz since he rarely hit him on the chin, all those power shots were on the cheek, orbital parts as Diaz head was moving out of the way.

Examples of raw power? Rumble, Romero, Liniker etc

I think Nate wore him down with his toughness.
Add to that the increased muscle and Conor looked pretty winded in the second round.
Nate fought a great fight.

Anybody remember drew mcfredries I think his name was, he had some serious one punch power.

I agree. This is what he's getting at with "precision beats power".
