You may have established that, but I don't agree, I also dont care if you agree with me, I'm not trying to convince you, it's my opinion based on my observations of Conor's career that he wasn't at his best that night, I'm tired of having the same conversation with you to be honest.Like we have already established, the first 15 seconds are all that is relevant to compare because that was how long it took Khabib to get the fight to the ground and he drained Conor in that first round by making him grapple for 4:45. If he was sluggish after that then there was a valid reason for it.
Watch the first 15 seconds of the Alvarez fight and tell me when exactly I am supposed to be seeing Conor "leaping in and out". You clearly haven't rewatched those first 15 seconds or you wouldn't be trying to continue this debate because you don't have a leg to stand on. He came out completely flat footed against Alvarez. There was no "spring in his step" and there was no "leaping in and out" in those opening 15 seconds whatsoever. Just like against Khabib. He actually looked a bit "springier" against Khabib than he did against Alvarez in the relevant time frame imo.
The "Conor was sluggish" narrative is an excuse and does not hold up to the video evidence when you compare those same 15 seconds to the Alvarez fight. If you can't find links for the two fights to compare then I can PM them to you.
