MIK 4,763 Posted August 22, 2016 Report Share Posted August 22, 2016 I know amateur boxers that would beat the best mma fighters in any boxing match ...and second rate mma fighters that could beat world champion boxers in their discipline ...two separate sports its silly trying to match them up like comparing rugby players to football players . Pretty much what I was going to write Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rob284 1,682 Posted August 22, 2016 Report Share Posted August 22, 2016 Maybe lacked that bit wind as he is fighting above his natural fighting weight ?still unfit. Wasn't exactly a high paced fight. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Francie 6,368 Posted August 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2016 Lads it was a good tough fight, connor fought a good smart fight, diaz weakness is leg kicks, an connor took advantage, them leg jicks disabled diaz pressure imo, anyone that has taken jicks to the leg knows what im talking about, connor clearly won the fight, nate couldnt finish it, plain an simple. Connor leg strikes, punches, an inside elbows in clinch, but the third fight is coming, more money for two of them, fair fucks to them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'd say other than the leg kicks and obviously dropping Nate 3 times Nate returned everything including elbows in the clinch! One thing is for sure, Conor can't put Nate away and I think he knows that now, but Nate got close in the 3rd. Sure they should start punish fighters for running away.

lukey 1,621 Posted August 22, 2016 Report Share Posted August 22, 2016 Yeah! Nate Diaz could finish CM inside a round if the fight was fought on the ground, bud he did just simply sit on the deck waiting for CM to come to him. He would have got slaughtered for that. But whatever. I fancy Diaz for the 3rd by submission. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

marshman 7,758 Posted August 22, 2016 Report Share Posted August 22, 2016 A man does what it takes to win I ! I see an interview with Diaz and he said he went for the takedowns to much but in hindsight should of fought a different fight . And that is the thing lads hindsight is 20/20 ? The fight I watched CM was catching every time with the counter right and also slapped the shit out of ND legs he fought to a game plan with a man that was a lot bigger , did you see the size difference lads ? 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
antg 1,787 Posted August 22, 2016 Report Share Posted August 22, 2016 they fight at the lighter weight and id say CM will stop him. was a good fight and i think the decision was fair and correct. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There was a huge chunk of the fight he was running. Being a boxing fan yourself you know that's frowned upon and points deducted. As for his all round game I agree with you if he can get it done standing fair enough. . Chuck liddell was the master of sprawl and brawl used his wrestling not to get taken down then won fights with his striking. The distance is completely different a boxer setting himself up needs space in an octagon that he wouldnt get in a boxing ring...........Mcgregor wasn't " running away " through fear he was running away to give himself the space to re set...............space you just wouldnt get in a boxing ring hence yes in a boxing ring points would be taken as theres no reason for it.
