He needs to go back to the way he used to train. He got rid of Ido because of the comments everyone was making. That was when he was training with Ido and practicing his traditional martial arts kicks. He also wasn't trying to KO/TKO fighters with one punch back then like he is now. He shifted his training and striking style to a power punching style that doesn't suit him. He was never really a one punch power puncher, he would get TKOs after rounds of landing over and over again and he would eventually get the finish. Once he started training like a one punch KO artist that is when you saw the biggest shift in his fighting style. He became flat footed and abandoned his footwork and tried to walk fighters down instead of using footwork/movement to counter strike. That's also when he stopped getting KOs/TKOs because that's not how he was getting them in his previous fights.
Also his slow footwork/movement is mainly because he stopped working his footwork movement and switched to a stationary walk-em down style after Floyd used that on him in their boxing fight. It doesn't suit Conor's fighting style because he lacks an inside boxing game, that's why Floyd used that style against him. Conor tries to use it but he is a euro style counter puncher, that's his boxing style and it doesn't work well trying to walk fighters down because Conor will always stop mid range and wait for something to counter, that's why he was always in range to get kicked by Poirer. If you are trying to walk fighters down you need to be able to lead and you need to be able to fight in the pocket, you can't always stop mid range and wait for something to counter.
Also he focused more on muscle instead of speed/movement/footwork. That's one of the main reasons his footwork is completely different. His focus on muscle drastically slowed his legs and he doesn't move around the same anymore. He isn't able to do the bounce he used to do because those require different muscles to perform. He focused too much on slow twitch muscles with his legs and his legs loss their speed and explosiveness.
