Floyd could hardly touch Conor clean and consistently when Conor was fresh. Look at Conor slip parry and slip Floyd's entire punching combination like if Floyd was stuck in slow motion. Conor saw that BS coming from a mile away. DENIED!
Look at this one here. That was that footwork everyone was talking about! Sublime Lomachenko like step around pivot to get the angle on Floyd and force Floyd to turn into him, which as Floyd does, boom, right hook into left straight through the guard
Heres Conor slipping another right lead from Floyd and countering with an uppercut to the body
Conor was too fast, too slick, and too skilled and too quick off the counter from range when fresh
I like the body work
A lot of people are in denial about just how great Conor was doing until rounds 9 and 10 when Conor gassed. Conor was 0-0 competing and winning rounds against a 49-0 Floyd. That's mind blowing. It's mind blowing how skilled of a boxer Conor actually proved himself to be.
Conor's lead hand game+fienting+jabs were legit giving Floyd major issues; off setting Floyd's timing on the counters, keeping Floyd controlled at range, keeping Floyd too pre-occupied in contending with Conor's lead hand probes instead of doing what he wanted to do, and shutting down Floyd's jab hand
People just don't know boxing, especially these MMA fans who hate Conor.
showtimes own score cards had the fight 4-4 for Conor heading Into the 9th
Not to mention this body shot at the start of the 9th which had Floyd badly rocked to the lower left gut. Purely legal. No where near the balls. (Ref stepped in and saved Floyd. Blatant corruption)
Conor had the entire deck stacked against him in corrupt boxing and still held his own.
Not only almost got the finish before the ref saved Floyd, but If Conor doesn't gas and makes it to a decision then we are talking about a close controversial decision now
(where even showtime had it 4-4 for Conor before Conor gassed)
Despite the fact judges were already getting ready to rob Conor on score cards there would've been public outrage
You would think MMA fans would have celebrated a 0-0 Conor doing that well against a 49-0 all time great boxer and proving that the best in UFC can hang with the best in boxiing.
yet Conor's haters on sherdog would rather become cuckholds to boxing then give Conor any credit. Conor haters aren't true fans of MMA
F the haters. Let us appreciate just how spectacular Conor's performance was at 0-0 against a 49-0 all time great. Let us celebrate Conor's skills. War mother fucking Conor aka the REAL MATRIX counter puncher in the UFC aka THE BEST BOXER in MMA history aka the greatest defensive based counter puncher MMA has ever seen
