The right was, the left was not. He's lucky dude doesn't know how to counter.
Go watch that fight again. He went to the ground because he was getting lit up on the feet.Poirier whooped him on the feet and on the ground. Duffy is fine but he is nothing special really.
And on top of that his ground game is pretty solid.
I base it off their boxing technique. That doesn't change when fighting higher or lower ranked opposition.You also have to account for competition. I really don't see how you can be so sure Duffy would win a rematch when the level of competition he has looked impressive against is nowhere near the same level of competition Conor has been facing.
Now that doesn't mean he couldn't win the rematch, I'm just not sure you can base it off what we've seen from him since their first fight.
There have been many hooks just as wide which landed that way on elite boxers.

Watching his ufc fights, his boxing is so slick. He's one of the few who really succeeds at using that shoulder roll in mma and he actually uses bodyshots with his hands effectively. He draws opponents in with his shoulder roll and actually counters them properly with it. His jab off the shoulder roll is great too because of his hands being low, thus making the jab have more 'pop' and it being more unpredictable.
Just look at that left hook to the body, beautiful.
His combinations are slick as hell and his footwork is great. Many people forget he was destroying Porier on the feet before it went to to the ground.
I think he owns Mcgregor again in a rematch and Diaz maybe, if his cardio holds up.
What do you guys think? Discuss.
Does that make them "good"? Don't throw wide hooks where your head comes first, then try to convince me that it's a "good" hook because it landed and you didn't get knocked out.
you might wanna go rewatch that fight, duffy was winning on the feet and had dustin in trouble a few times.Poirier whooped him on the feet and on the ground. Duffy is fine but he is nothing special really.

that gif is the entire fight.Duffy has very legit boxing. Some of the best hands in the division. I missed his fight with Clarke though, did he show any improvements after his loss to DDP?
