The gas/pace will make the difference, since McGregor is suck at it.
His face will be like your avatar there - wrinkly, messed up:
Man, the Nate case doesn't have nothing to do, the problem there was only the reach, because Nate has weird boxe and "outboxed" McGregor many times. Although Holloway's reach is lesser than Nate's, he is better in boxing light-years and the gas match from both.
You forgot that this time will be 5 rounds. Max will patiently awaits and do like he did to Aldo. Keeping the pace and growing between rounds. Although McGregor will use kicks this time - because Max is a standup guy too -, the x-factor here is definitely gas, and McGregor suck at it, he is known for it. Max will do the correct strategy, I don't see McGregor winning. His left hand will shoot sometimes, but he will succumb to Max pace, then will get knocked out. Max definitely is not Nate, and we all saw what the simple Nate did to him, pushing aside the reach thing.
If you think a full size Max Hollywood is NOT a hard fight for Connie...you crazy!!!
Seems a little dangerous for McGoat.
The only reason he's giving nate a rematch is Nate beat him in the first fight and they're tied 1 -1.
If the fight goes passed 2 I don’t see Conor surviving the pace this time around
Complete nonsense dude.
Against Holloway he used various jumping knees, side kicks, high kicks, hooks on the outside angle, inside angle....dominated him on the ground as well.
Since the second Diaz fight, McGregor's mostly cut out the superfluous movements and focused on his trusty boxing, if you pay attention. And boy has he gotten great.
But Holloway is a brawler. Conor won't have to worry about takedowns or defending on the ground because Holloway is not much of a threat there relative to the various opponents he's faced at LW.
Rewatch Holloway's fights with Aldo or even against Ricardo Lamas. Holloway still throws that sloppy right hook that catches short opponents sometimes and isn't very fast. He makes up for it with volume, but the problem is when he steps in that cage it will be McGregor who controls the rhythm and has the power to hurt him. It's McGregor who will get to the center first and establish the flow of the fight. And once Holloway backs off It would look very similar to the first fight, minus the excessive takedowns from McG.
Against McGregor, Holloway won't be pointing at the center of the ring and calling for a brawl,
I don't think so, Max gets hit so often I have a feeling it would be either the same decision win for McGregor or an earlier KO. After watching the Max vs Jose fight I don't think max is really as amazing as he is built up to be. I don't see Max getting past Ortega so we could see this fight actually happen.
They went the distance back then, even if still a loppy striker, thats a much better one than back then, in a 5 round fight i could see Max even submitting Conor in the later rounds.
