I haven't seen anything special in the last three hyped fights. I know the lads are rated high, just something in the fights that hasn't grabbed my attention.
I would wager that you are not a boxer. Now, that's by no means a "do you even lift, bro??" comment, its just that to a boxer, watching his movement and his strikes, its really clear what a talent he has. That might not be obvious to someone who might be a fan of the sport but isn't into the technicalities of slips or hooks or footwork etc.
I see him do things my coach tells me to do and I'm like "I'm supposed to move my head, roll my shoulder, turn my knee, shift my weight and hook.... while you try to punch me in the face??? Jog the fnck on!
"
The reason the competition is looking amateur is because Conor's movement and technique makes them look amateur. Their strikes miss because his head movement is ungodly fast and good. He lights them up because even though they know its coming, his jabs and uppercuts are just too slick and accurate for them.
There is no, and has never really been, a question about Conor's talent as a boxer, if you train it, you can see it in him, and he makes it look effortless. Its true what he says, people want to talk about the trash talking, the antics, his opponents but never about his skill, because its just undeniable.0 -

You may need to check my posting history!:pac:
My point was more directed at the opposition. Conor for me has obvious talents. He has a boxing background.0 -

My point (which I made in an overly long, round-a-bout meandering way, you may want to check my posting history ) ... is that his opposition didn't suddenly become crap... he makes them look crap by being a genuine genius at boxing. 0 -
