Its hard to make adjustments when on top of the kicks Conor's boxing game was a lot more methodical. You're making it seem like Diaz wanted to just get his ass whooped, and not lending enough credence to what made Conor so successful at whooping his ass

Lol first of all, Nate didn't get his ass whooped. It was a close decision where Conor nearly got finished again.

I think Nate could have easily won with something that resembled a game plan, but even when he fought like an idiot it was still a close decision, so my bet @ +110 had value.

Id be very worried about punks cardio. This is his first real fight he could have a massive adrenaline dump.

Definitely a possibility

Card posted Gail's fights pre-UFC. He subbed a guy in the 3rd rd after a pretty grueling grappling pace for the first 2 rounds. Plus Gall is all over the grappling circuit and depending on format some matches require good cardio.

If the fight goes past rd 1 (and I don't expect it to given what I believe is a huge grappling advantage for Gall) I don't see cardio being an issue for Gall. Unless he's completely blown off his training which would be unbelievable given he's gone from a nobody to in the spotlight and this fight is his meal ticket.

I must have missed those. Do you know how long the rounds were in that amateur fight. 2,3 or 5 minutes? I should check them out very soon

Other than that, he went to a three round decision in a fight that only had two-minute rounds

Nate got has his ass whooped til Conor gassed and he started putting on pressure.

Again, he didn't fight like an idiot, Conor just fought MUCH smarter this time around, but see it how you want
 
Take that Diaz/Conor talk somewhere else, please. You guys go back and forth all the time over petty/unrelated shit, clogging up the thread.

Let me guess, the first fight didn't count because Conor "whooped his ass" until he gassed and got finished? That was extremely close to happening again, even when Conor threw leg kicks this time. Conor was closer to being finished than Nate was, so you can't really say Nate got his ass whooped just because Conor won one more round than him lol.

Why do people get so offended when we talk fights? Are we really making life so hard by forcing you to scroll past posts? Cmon.

I'm not offended, it's just annoying. Especially when it happens all the time...

Take it to a PM or something.

true but those where 3min ammie rounds, less time to get the finish and the fight went like 7-8 min total

True but the pace was high. And Gall looked fine 8 minutes in at that high pace. Add in his grappling matches (against very high level guys) that go on for 10+ minutes and it's hard to make a serious case that Punk should have a cardio edge. Esp when you also factor the age of each guy.

Sorry bud don't want you to go through all the trouble of scrolling past posts. Hard thing to do. I'll try to never talk fights not on the card before more people get annoyed over something so stupid
 
if punk reaches +400 on the uk books i will definitely bite.
