He has pretty good distance management (vastly better than Conor in this fight) and also a nicely timed jab.
He threw some nice counters when Conor threw a jab, he keeps his hands high. And he even seemed less flat footed than Conor at times.
And when they traded, overall Conor walked into the harder shots. He wasn't really dominating on the feet at any point.
It's the same as people talking about Conor's "touch of death" or his supposedly fucked knee against mini Mendes.
People cling to arguments without understanding any of the finer points.
