Just watched McG vs Diaz...

[daltonames]

That's not what I said at all. Nice try though. Way to lose the argument

Then what exactly was your point except Conor won the first round before losing the fight? Why would Nate fans need to cling to anything? He finished the fight in the 2nd round. Conor won 1 round of a 5 round fight. Yup.

Full camp Nate>Short notice Nate>Conor

Nah, he looked way different against Holloway & poirier than he did Diaz. To deny that is to deny reality. I also call bullshit on him & his coach saying he fought like he always does. Got a link?

Directly after the fight when Conor said "Featherweights crumble under those shots"

That's no where close to saying he fought like he always does. Not even in the same ball park. I'm interested to hear how you got that from what he said.

Conor has 0 chance. Anything can hapoen but not in this fight.
0% chance. Conor will probably tap after full camp Nate touches gloves.

not interested in offering analysis, eh?

 

[TrollHunter]

Conor will move around a lot and throw big wild punches (again.) and wasteful spinning kicks (again.) and then Diaz will slowly chip away at him (again.) and then lay a beating, pull guard and choke Conor out (again.). But then this is all just conjecture, and I could be wrong, or I could be right (again.).

Either way, Conor is always funny to watch and Nate is a really good fighter.

More than happy.
Conor doesn't have the right style to beat Nate. Nate has lost 10 times already, hes far from unbeatable and he's not championship material.

But his style will make him beat Conor 10/10, no head hunter with no jits is going to beat a diaz.

Just watched Bisping vs Rockhold 1...

Bisping fans think he's gonna win... I can't think of how. Tell me.

I just watched JDS vs. Cain 1...

Cain fans think he's going to win the rematch.. I can't think of how. Tell me.

Human muevment. Conor still has phenomenal muevment.

 

[Guile]

Conor landed a grand total of six strikes more than Diaz did. He won the round, but it's not like he beat his ass.

If Conor tries to fight the same way, he will lose. If he takes a step back and takes a different approach, he may still lose. I do think he's smart enough to learn that he can't beat Diaz by just swinging for the nosebleeds, but he's still a limited fighter who can't compete on the ground or clinch with Diaz, and isn't really that much better in terms of strict boxing, if at all.

Did you not read what I said? I stated that it is definitely possible that Conor beats Nate. Many on these forums act as if Nate annihiliated Conor with ease, which is notthe case.

 

[dontreallycare]

Connor can win. He just needs to watch Nick Diaz vs Carlos Condit.

 

[Lo Pan]

Nate is going to land cumulative shots and TKO him this time. It's gonna look like the his last fight with Maynard.

 

[Steve08]

I love that conor haters cling to the 6more strikes thing. It's a very simplistic view of things. Conor's punchers in the first round were a hell of a lot more damaging than Nate's pitter patter high volumes weak punches. Nate was getting tuned up.

"But but but 6 punches..." - yes because all punches are equal...

"tuned up"? Most of the hard shots he threw he MISSED...

You're clearly biased based on your username, so not sure why I even bothered...

 

[Filthymaggot]

Saying his chances are wrapped up in one lucky punch is not saying much.

Nothing lucky about that punch by bisping. Perfect counter to a lunging, lazy jab.

 

[Filthymaggot]

Just watched GSP vs Hughes, can't see how people think GSP is GOAT.

You should watch Serra vs GSP for a good laugh then.

 

[MarleyLynx]

In the first fight he was timid after the clinch of sticking in his range so he was throwing from too far out missing alot and reaching which likely gassed him. Nate oddly circled a lot more than his usual self which played into conors reaching behavior and conor's wheel kicks did nada.

That being said go watch the fight again simply from nate's perspective and not from Conor's and you'll see he really didn't look amazing or do anything special. Conor kind of lost the fight for himself. If he comes in more mature he should have a better shot even though diaz is a bad matchup stylistically for him being a great boxer with a great chin, great cardio, great length and much, much larger

I agree Nate did not run through Conor, I think most claim it was an annihilation because most Conor fans believe Conor annihilated Mendes.

You can't call him out on his biased if you're rocking that AV, you're clearly on the other side of that bias.

Sure, I liked seeing McGregor lose. But I'm willing to admit that as well. None of these clowns will.

Conor blew his load in the first and Nate took advantage of it. People seem to forget what Nate's face looked like during/after the fight.
