I'm glad Conor lost but I'm sick of people bumping Mayweather threads everytime someone who talked about their Floyd and savior loses.

She was willing to do a catch weight at 140

Who knows both fighters are in limbo now

What did Conor do right and what did he do wrong, what would you have had him do?

Conor was fukking Diaz up low key, he landed some tremendous shots, Diaz took a lot of punishment, Conor got discouraged when Diaz didn't drop from the blows, he also didn't respect his power, because him and his brother often throw those pitter patter shots then when you less expect through a heavy shots behind it

Also think the fact Diaz is a southpaw played a factor, but Conor was easily winning the fight until he got hit by the straight left which is was right on the button

He wasted energy with those worthless wheel kicks he never lands on anybody lmao, I thought he would use the spin kick to the mid section against Diaz, he landed soe good body shots but not enough, too much head hunting, I'm remember he predicted he would KO Nick with the left uppercut, but he could only really connect with the right uppercut, which were good shots that hurt nate, but he never landed the left uppercut clean like he wanted to do

all in all he just needed to be patient, and focus, he got mentally defeated when nate kept coming despite the ass whooping he was putting on him, but he should've expected that because outside the head kick from Josh Thompson, Nate has never been stopped

All in all his ego got the better of him, he didn't respect the bigger man shot, and he needs to tighten up his defense

For the life of me I don't know why he doesn't spar with Andy Lee who is also Irish and a very skilled boxer, Conor's never gonna be good on the ground, so he can't afford to get rocked on his feet like that

all in all I think Conor can beat him in a rematch now that he's been humbled, he can make the adjustments in his training

He needs to cut the shyt with all of those fancy kicks and wasted movement. His high kicks don't have much power behind em and are heavily telegraphed. He should keep his kicks no higher than mid level.

He couldn't beat Nate on 11 days notice what makes you think he'd win a rematch with Nate on a full training camp?

He's a better fighter, he was easily winning the fight until he got rocked, he didn't think nate could hurt him and made a mistake

Nate looked like Nate, he didn't look any slower or effected

he might be sharper with a full camp, but conor will be mindful and more cautious the next time

he just needs to learn patience when you are fighting heavier people, you can't just can't stand in front of guys and expect them to fold

Conor will also have a full camp to prepare for nate in the rematch where he can spare southpaws, etc

all that camp shyt is just excuses after a certain extent, nate obviously wasnt out of shape

also Nate will never be the same after this fight, Conor gave him a lot of punishment, and that damage will effect him the rest of his career

Dos Anjos is a southpaw breh so he had to have been sparing southpaws already. Try again.
