Media Conor McGregor has been working on his Boxing

[m249viking]

Looks like he still has 2 more fights and god knows how many years tied with the UFC, they wont let him do that again.

Things may be different now with PFL making moves, UFC falling under the umbrella it does now and the rise in popularity of these type of boxing matches

He can improve whatever he wants but we all know he'll gas within 2 rounds, not to mention the long layoff he had.

Removing Ido Portal from his camp the worst mistake he's made, now he's a stiff brawler

The dork with the ponytail.

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, but expecting different results - Albert Einstein

No, it was "one possible definition of insanity" and it was from Alcoholics Anonymous. It is in no way the actual definition of insanity.

Jake Paul would beat him

Damn right

Conor was no Francis, but he could make a formidable stunt fighter $$$
until his novelty finally wears off.

If he made a comeback and beat someone like Justin G, he would extend his notoriety, but we will see if he is able to do that. I think it would be amusing- I would actually be entertained if he got a few wins. He will of course never be a champ and may just fail badly. Looks like he's been training, so we will see if he fights again.

Conor went from a highly divisive and creative striker to not even having the best boxing in the UFC.

I miss capoeira kick Conor he was more fun to watch.

The dork with the ponytail.

"Touchbutt in the park" & "dork with the pony tail" Nate single handedly destroyed Conors MMA career

I want to scream about the injustice of this pic, but I find it too hard to not bust up laughing every time I look at it.

Highly doubt that's gonna help him check the kicks.

I think Conor and his boxing is what derailed his MMA career. Not that I blame him for going for the payday with Mayweather. I probably would have done the same thing, but he changed for the worst as a fighter after that.

 

[MileHigher]

His 2 most impressive victories where from his boxing in Aldo and Eddie.

False. Winning MMA fights with your hands doesn’t equal boxing.

 

[TankAbbott4Eva]

His boxing is the last thing he needs to focus on.

I disagree, I think he should just go and fight Jake Paul or something, I think at least everyone in the top 10 beats him, and it might be more. Seriously a fight with him and Makhachev shouldn't be sanctioned, Islam will murder him.

McGregor abruptly developed cardio problems after USADA and his physique noticeably changed, but it often gets overlooked because he still managed to defeat Alvarez (after hiding away over in Iceland).

He went from having veins going across his torso to love handles; and both of these pictures were for Featherweight bouts.

The 2nd pic he had more muscle mass and it’s clearly a bad pic. He was lean and jacked his entire 145 run. But yeah you’re pretty much saying he went off steroids and won 2 belts? Guess he didn’t need roids to KO Aldo in 10 seconds. His gas tank has always been bad past the 2nd rd, watch his pre ufc fights.

 

[ipowerslapmywife]

NO. No it hasn't. His boxing has always been terrible. He always leaves himself way to open and off balanced. His boxing footwork is terrible.

His boxing is the best we’ve ever seen in mma. I say this as a long time boxing fan and former amateur boxer. He’s the only mma fighter I’ve seen with the correct technique and fundamentals. He’s had so much success literally because of his boxing dummy.

 

[ipowerslapmywife]

False. Winning MMA fights with your hands doesn’t equal boxing.

Actually it does if boxing technique and skill is what gave him the wins. He won by superior boxing skill and technique in those fights. You’re acting like he just threw a sloppy overhand right and won

I remember seeing this a while back w/ some overly exaggerated checks

I think you'll find the original quote is actually Kenny Florian
