Tyson on occasion showed the patience Conor needs V Nate

[Seismic]

Watched Tyson's fights that went the distance and his bout with Bonecrusher Smith in particular stood out as a blueprint for Conor in the rematch with Nate. Smith had a HUGE height and reach advantage over Mike and possessed a solid, snappy jab and could take a hell of a punch. Tyson systematically took him apart over 12 rounds in a manner that showed maturity beyond his years.

Despite his slick performance the crowd, baying for another early KO, booed throughout but Mike did not get sucked in to hunting the KO, he was ruthless and ultra efficient. Conor needs to follow suit and just be methodical in his approach, the win is there to be had.

Yes, energy efficient conor>>>>>>> Tyson

 

[Maladroit]

Did ever Tyson gas after 5 minutes?

 

[Spookv]

He needs a ground game.

No one gives a shit what Tyson achieved from being roided and HGH'ed to the gills since his mid-teens.

USADA should be making that kind of drug regimen a bit harder these days.

Tyson started gassing after the Spinks fight when Don King ruled his mind and he was able to force Tyson to fire Kevin Rooney and all Cus D'amato old guard.

Energy efficient Conor joins Motivated BJ Penn, Chuck with that look in his eye, Old young Vitor, Sea level Cain, Healthy Shogun and first round Shane Carwin.

he just has to emulate what thomson and condit did, he`s more then capable for that.

you have too much faith in USADA

McGregor is not Mike Tyson lol. He can't knock out Nate, doesn't have the cardio to stick and move for 5 rounds, and doesn't have the ground game to grind out a decision.

Basically he's fucked. He will come out, conserve his energy a bit more, look good early on...but mid-2nd round Nate will take over the fight once again.

 

[chickenlip]

Nate is clearly the stronger fighter in later rounds and can take a beating. Conor should be more focused on his low level grappling than anything else

Not really. I know there are still obvious guys around who get around it. Lombard is still on the sauce. Alvarez in his fight with Pettis looked ridiculous(as opposed to Pettis who looked deflated).

Hopefully guys who show up to their fights with cannonball delts, tree trunk neck and popping traps will warrant further aggressive visits from USADA. That's my hope. The point is that roiding it up got a whole lot riskier just lately.

Mike Tyson had amazing defense. Conor's defense is minimal.

LOL!

"Tyson on cocaine showed the patience Conor needs V Nate"?

 

[Readybodisready]

Conor needs to use leg and body kicks. Forget about Tyson. Please.
