California grants UFC's Conor McGregor a boxing license

[The G.O.D II]

Ehh will see if this leads to anything. Everyone knows Floyd only fights in NV because they grant exemptions to take lidocaine injections for his hands

 

[Cheech&Chong]

Mayweather

 

[Vinny Lupton]

Why California?

 

[reservoirdogs]

this guy thinks it seriously doesn't he...

 

[jackswstd]

He's feeling himself way too much. Look what happened to Rousey when she got in there with a legit boxer, granted Conor is a better boxer than Rousey but against MMA guys. Any top WW to MW in boxing washes McGregor easily.

If Conor puts his left hand on any boxer in his weight class, they are going to sleep. At this point, it is ridiculous to doubt that left hand.

what weight does this vanilla midget fight at? I'm assuming 147 since he calling out Floyd or whatever. Mayweather's sparring partner's sparring partner would embarrass him.

If mcgregor connects that left hand on floyd's chin Floyd is going to sleep. Maidana had Floyd on skates and mcgregor hits harder than maidana.

what do you think will happen when mcgregor starts touching him up.

He'll get beat / schooled by a top 15-20 guy from 140 to 160. You put Mauricio Herrera in there and Herrera will look like '09 Pacquiao in comparison.

everyone knows what will happen ain't no need to speak on it as if it would be competitive let's just focus on fukkery and boxing eating off UFCs star

They may be the dumbest post ive ever seen. You should feel bad about this

We don't know that. But we know when Conor touches folk with his left hand, they take a sit on the canvas.

He'd have to hit him first, and hit him clean, this would be with boxing gloves too, you need to keep that in mind.

Conor is one of the best boxers in the UFC but in boxing, you're talking about dudes who have been mastering their hands specifically over years, focusing on head movement and setups specifically designed for hands-only fights.

Conor would have to train for a few years to become at least as proficient in pure boxing. By then, Floyd will be in his 40's sipping cocktails not giving a fukk about McGregor

But what if somebody decides not to move the expected way? Then you have a lot more to think about. If Conor takes his UFC stance versus a boxer, a boxer will have to think twice because they are not used to seeing that stance.

No they won't because they don't care about kicks, so his stance disserves him more than anything.

Until they fight, we don't know and it is any one's guess. I just don't see Mayweather stepping up to the challenge, Mayweather likes the easy way (the smart way). Maximum profits for minimal risk.

McGregor is the easy way for Mayweather though.

I don't think you're grasping how much more experienced Mayweather is. Conor is a one trick pony at best in pure boxing currently.

Also you're forgetting that if Mayweather studies Conor, all that UFC stance bullshyt goes out the window.

Boxers are trained to move a certain, so they except other boxers to move the same. It is like chess, you can only move the pieces a certain way, as long as that is understood, you can better anticipate the next move.

But what if somebody decides not to move the expected way? Then you have a lot more to think about. If Conor takes his UFC stance versus a boxer, a boxer will have to think twice because they are not used to seeing that stance.

If Conor tries to "box" he will be at a disadvantage for the reasons you stated, but what if he chose to do "MMA", but keep his strikes to punches, then the boxer has to think a lot more about how to approach that stance.

Until they fight, we don't know and it is any one's guess. I just don't see Mayweather stepping up to the challenge, Mayweather likes the easy way (the smart way). Maximum profits for minimal risk.

you have no clue what you are talking about

conor doesn't have defense to survive more than a few rounds in a boxing match

it's a joke

He couldn't beat a C list boxer let alone mayweather lmao

Conor got beat up by a journey man at the wildcard gym, he can't box
