No where in that article does it reference interviewing a doctor, or a doctors quote.

Not saying it didn't happen but wouldn't he have been under protocol and not been out partying after and shyt?

There is literally no mention of the doctor or the quote in the article.

I'm not saying he was not concussed, he probably was, but this article is set up like Facebook click bait.

It's another ringside doctor giving his opinion based on the signs Conor was showing. Dismissing it as "couch diagnosis" is funny since it's an actual fight doctor giving you his input on what he saw and outlining the difference in symptoms between fatigue and head trauma.


How much money did you lose on Conor? :mjgrin:



Ps. His "fatigue" started in the 8th round after a flush straight right, he started looking like he lost all balance.
LOL, its the equivalent of when a player goes down on the field and then the sports reports all share the opinions of 'what other doctors think'. Its not an actual diagnosis, regardless of the persons qualifications.

Plus, I just saw your ass spend 7 pages arguing about the Cav's doctors 'not agreeing' with the Celtics doctors, but suddenly when it serves your pro Mayweather agenda, all that logic goes out the window now huh? :mjlol:

Fake news.

Dude took an ass beating and the fight needed to be stopped. That's all that needs to be said. It was clear that dude was wobbly and not attacking anymore.

I'm pretty sure a large portion of TKO's are due to the same exact thing. Let's not act like this was something exceptional.

Traumatic simply implies trauma to the brain--as in your noggin got fukked up. It has nothing to do with the severity of the injury.

Also tbi is pretty standard as far as med terms, describing any and all injuries involving the cerebrum (inter and intracerebral injuries)

He definitely doesn't have one punch KO power but best believe he has good pop in his punches. KO power is overrated when that's your only weapon.


Relative to real boxing Floyd doesn't have that KO power but he has been taught from childhood how to throw a lightning fast reflexive snapping punch that can do damage after multiple strikes.

GGG has real boxing KO power in both hands and would have murdered Floyd inside of 3 rounds.. MMA stand up game is no where near the level of professional boxing... shyt is essentially amateur to pro. To be fair though Floyd would have had zero chance on the ground and he doesn't know how to kick either.. both sports should just stay in their own lanes.

when you get hit with a good shot you will see a white flash. mcgregor was seeing lots of white flashes.


Yup...
You always see those little stars .. everything goes black for a split second and those little white reddish stars explode in your visual..

on one hand the stoppage was justified because Conor wasnt throwing back. on the other hand, I feel if that was a legit boxer in there another ref or even the same ref wouldve let it go longer. even Conor said he didnt think he was finished. a lot of fighters have brain injuries. this is after the fact so it doesnt change the fact that the stoppage was questionable. really, any stoppage is a good stoppage because it saves the fighter from the next punch. we dont know if Conor was hurt early in the fight. you cant say it was at the time of the stoppage. :comeon:

also, nikkas need to stop saying Floyd cant punch. this is bullshyt. he doesnt fight in a style to where he puts power on his shots unless he needs it. ask Shane Mosley if he can punch. when Floyd has needed power, he has shown it. he isnt a big puncher but he is a good one.

now....against Conor, he fought a totally different style. he was actually coming forward, not worrying about getting hit and throwing nothing but power shots. the first few clean shots he connected with I am sure jarred Conor's brain.:manny:
