Won from a bum who lucked his way to the title
Yet, there were threads upon threads talking about Alvarez's days in Bellator and other organisations by the self titled
HARDCORE fans on here saying it would be a difficult fight for Conor as he took Melendez and Pettis down with ease and he had Boxing.
Here's how a typical conversation about the fight would go;
Poster 1: Yo, Alvarez is a dawwwwg. His fights with Chandler are legendary and he is the toughest guy Conor has ever fought.
Poster 2:Conor has better striking and Alvarez Boxing is sloppy. If he gets caught, he could put him to sleep.
Poster 1: LOOOOL. He ain't putting Alvarez to sleep. He always gets tagged and comes back and wins. And look at what Mendes did to him.
Poster 2: LOOOOOL. But Conor KO'd the P4P best in 13 seconds who is a better striker than Alvarez.
Poster 1: LMFAOOO. Alvarez ain't gonna lead with his face like Aldo did and Conor's power is overrated. He only knocks out midgets.
Poster 2: ROFL. Conor's fought at 155 already (at which point people were googling to find out how many times he had fought at 155) and is faster and stronger at that weight.
Poster 1: LULZ. Alvarez is made of solid muscle and isn't like the bum Conor KO'd at 155. Once he grabs hold of Conor he's fuuuuuuucked.
And so on. Using past fights is all well and good, but it doesn't absolutely determine how a fight is going to go.
