That's what coconuts are for.These type of exercises are used to build up your tolerance for impact
I remember Nate saying how his knee to the belly against the cage took a lot out of Conor.
I guess this is Conor trying to improve his ability to take that knee or punch.
Yeah, Conor doesn't have anything besides his left. His biggest hinderance is that he was blessed with being a southpaw with power and speed. These things blitzed his opponents and caused him to get by on those gifts.
He never was blessed with god given cardio.
He lacks true flexibility despite trying these spinning capoeira kicks, he's actually pretty stiff.
Fighting someone with Nate's attributes is a tall order. Had Conor been raised in a proper US gym from the start, he really could have been something good. His self marketing is bringing him millions, not his martial arts ability really. Beating Aldo once after many years undefeated really convinced people he's the real deal.
You should help him out with his Thai kicks.Nope
You should help him out with his Thai kicks.
Your joking right? Conor's twice as fast as that.
Yes, also his body punches looked solid. It seems he's focusing on bodywork and working in a bit more Thai-inspired standup into his rematch. I think it is a good move.Haha well i like his knees in this video. And in his last mclife sparring video, he did a very nice lead leg roundhouse to the body.
I agree with you on what Conor strategy should be, but If you don't see Rigo as impressive, you are not familiar with boxing. Lol...that "pro boxer" is one of the only boxers as gifted, if not more gifted than Floyd Mayweather. Look him up.So many shitty posts on this thread. Mcgregor looks solid but if he isnt going to abandon the spinning shit and focus on low round kicks, he is setting himself up to lose again.
And LOL at the guy saying his video wasnt impressive and putting up a video of pro boxer dogdging the strikes of a 100 year old geriatric. Because it wasnt very impressive at all.
So what exactly does he gain by laying down and getting punched in the stomach at the end of the video?
Your joking right? Conor's twice as fast as that.
Wow, this dude is legit coming into the rematch doing all the same shit.
Did he throw a single leg kick there? He better hope that left hands and goofy spinning shit gets the job done this time.
conditioning of the body, you get used to strikes to the abdominal muscles so you adjust.Tolerance....?
You think he's gonna show the world (and Nate) what they've been working on and are planning to do?
