Support NeoGAF

[joshcryer]

I expect to see a lot of you in MMA-GAF after this, we do exist deep in the confines of OT Community

There's a boxing GAF? I know a lot of people are backing Mayweather but that's just because this is his arena. No one wants to make the logically risky argument.

I think Connor can go the distance. I don't know about a KO. But he will go for it at any moment he finds. Which will be rare.

 

[Calderc]

I'm not even going down this path of stupidity. It is not true, yes it's dangerous and its getting carried away and they need to address it. It is not the single biggest danger in combat sports. People have been dieing and getting life changing injuries in the combat arena for centuries.

Right but considering we don't have fucking Gladiator arenas anymore and boxing and MMA is as dangerous as combat sports get these days, yes, weight cutting is the biggest danger.

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

Not the face, the top of the skull.

I 100% no joke, expect the fight to go exactly like this:

https://youtu.be/43OFK1RuKoM

He gave him a combination then pulled his shorts down to expose his bare ass. What in the fuck just happened?

 

[ryutaro's mama]

I am in the U.K. rn.

Regardless of what happens, I will probably be able to hear Dublin from my hotel room.

 

[GoldenCrow]

Oh come on, if your going to troll at least put in the effort.

That isn't trolling it is the truth cutting by dehydration is extremely dangerous. Loose just under 20% of body weight in usually around 48 to 24hr. Then gain as much back in 24hrs to try and be fully recovered.

If Connor wins they will celebrate for weeks.

Do you know what a concussion is, they are kind of big news these days. How many fighters die or suffer injuries from cutting weight compare to how many of them suffer head trauma. There is no comparison. And its not even combat sports it all of sports.

 

[Martinski43]

I dont see Connor having much of a chance really even against an "old" and retired Mayweather. Maybe if he can go in hard in the early rounds? But Mayweather is too good and will wear him out most likely.

Do you know what makes a concussion happen way easier? Weight cutting.

 

[Angelus Errare]

Floyd's core is crazy, Conor better protect the fuck out of his.

Conor has looked far worse than that after weight cuts

This isn't even his worst looking weigh in. He'll be fine tomorrow. Folks are overracting as usual

 

[Sato Koiji]

Conor will be massive after he rehydrates tomorrow. He gives up speed but will be in there like a tree with heavier hands.

 

[darscot]

Yeah its the cutting weight, not the blows to the head. /s If you step in a boxing ring you will suffer head trauma. MMA it's not 100% because you might be lucky enough to tap out to a non choke submission without actually getting hit so its probably like 99%.

Yes weight cutting is dangerous it is in no way "the single biggest danger in combat sports"

 

[Sickness702]

Yes, it is called cutting weight, jesus christ, have you seen a single fighter cut weight in the history of combat sports? Guess what, they all drink water after weigh-in, god you are hilarious.

I've been watching professional boxing for the last 30 years, son. I don't care what he did in the past or what other fighters do, I am saying he looked weight drained today. He looked lethargic today. He looked pale in the face today. He reminded me of De La Hoya when he was weight drained against Pacquiao.

Who tf are you to tell me what my own eyes saw?

 

[Syder]

Yup. My opinion is that Conor and Floyd both look in fantastic shape








which is really bad for Conor

The person who isn't dumb enough to think that drinking water after a weigh-in is unusual by any stretch of the imagination.

You'd be great in boxing the way you dodge things.

A blow to the head might not cause a concussion. A blow to the head after a heavy weight cut probably will. That's like, scientific knowledge and fact.

If you go into a fight after a bad weight cut, a punch is worse than normal, cardio exertion is worse than normal, literally every single thing is worse than normal. So yes, it is the biggest danger in combat sports. Multiple deaths and people within combat sports attest to this.

This is how he always looks before weigh ins. He used to look even more drained when he used to fight at 145, it's no big deal. He will look fine come fight night. He didn't seem lethargic when he was yelling in Mayweather's face.

 

[Euphor!a]

This is how he also looks before weigh ins. He used to look even more drained when he used to fight at 145, it's no big deal.

No, you don't get it. The Irish guy was pale.

Spoken like someone who has literally never watched a Conor McGregor fight

 

[darscot]

That's like, scientific kniwledge and fact.

Why do I let myself get sucked into this stupidity.

 

[dream]

So can we address the elephant in the room? What is with Conor's massive schlong?

 

[Calderc]

Why do I let myself get sucked into this stupidity.

Yeah the more you reply the worse you look man.

 

[HStallion]

He wanted to cross swords.

 

[ryutaro's mama]

I hear he is dating Doris.

Thought you should be the first to know.

 

[number11]

I still can't believe this is happening. It's hard to take this circus of a fight seriously.

 

[darscot]

Yeah the more you reply the worse you look man.

Only to people that do not understand simple mathematics.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

GET HYPED!

 

[Calderc]

Once you go black...?

 

[Hutchie]

If floyd can look that way at 40 theres still hope for me! Diet starts on monday lol! I still need to find somewhere to watch this but at 5am uk im gonna be asleep

 

[Obliterator]

GET HYPED!

That weigh in was massively hype.

 

[Calderc]

Only to people that do not understand simple mathematics.

Ohhh so *you're* trolling? Cool.

But some guys in MMA try to cut 40-50 pounds

 

[Sickness702]

The person who isn't dumb enough to think drinking water after a weigh-in is unusual by any stretch of the imagination.

I said it was unusual? I said he was drinking that water immediately after, he didn't even wait to get to the dressing room. He was drinking the water like he hasn't had anything to drink in couple days.... hence, a WEIGHT DRAINED FIGHTER.... Floyd wasn't drinking, then again Floyd wasn't weight drained.

You're just arguing to argue at this point though. I am saying Conor looked weight drained and your rebuttal is that he was cutting weight before the fight. That's the same thing, genius.

 

[kikiribu]

Once you go black...?

It's not the first time he's been seen with a boner during weigh ins.

 

[BigJonsson]

Almost every MMA fighter starts drinking right after they get off the scale if they had to cut weight though

 

[Sato Koiji]

Did anybody hear Floyd saying that this will be also Conors last fight?

What did he mean by this?

Spoiler

hold me tight

 

[Sickness702]

This is how he also looks before weigh ins. He used to look even more drained when he used to fight at 145, it's no big deal. He will look fine come fight night. He didn't seem lethargic when he was telling in Mayweather's face.

We will soon see, can't believe it's tomorrow. I appreciate that you didn't come attacking like the other dude too

 

[Euphor!a]

This is not unusual in the slightest. It is called cutting weight, with your 30 years of experience watching combat sports I assumed you would know that people drink water after weighing in almost immediately. I think you would have better luck arguing that the Irish guy looks too pale.

 

[darscot]

But some guys in MMA try to cut 40-50 pounds

99% of guys in combat sports suffer head trauma. I am not saying cutting weight is not dangerous. I am saying it is not the biggest danger. I am also saying they dont publish articles and data on head trauma because they cant do anything about it. So they say its cutting weight and look at all we are doing about it. The biggest danger in combat sports is brain injury from getting hit in the head or having blood supply to your head cut off. The do their best to let go when guys go limp in a choke because it is insanely dangerous. There is nothing to be done about the hits to the head. The just allowed smaller gloves against the Doctors because its good for business. They are literally doing everything they can to insure one of these fighters suffers a brain injury.

 

[Sickness702]

Spoken like someone who has literally never watched a Conor McGregor fight

I've watched him fight, this has nothing to do with my observations though. I know he looked much worse in the past, I know he does this regularly, I'm not arguing that.

 

[gogogow]

Did anybody hear Floyd saying that this will be also Conors last fight?

That Conor will lose and not box again. I mean will people still be interested in Conor boxing again if Conor loses tomorrow?

Before you get hit in the head you have to cut weight
You get hit in the head enough and the fight can be stopped by a ref, if you cut weight to dangerous levels your body can just shut down if no one around you is willing to stop you

 

[darscot]

No you do not. Did Mayweather cut weight, its just math. Both fighters are risking brain injury but only one cut weight. How can the weight cut be the biggest danger, its silly.

The only people I've seen drink water as soon as they step off of the scale are fighters who are weight drained/dehydrated. Why the fuck are arguing with me , we are saying the same thing.

Fighters who needed to cut weight before a weigh in rid their body of all extra fluids. You said he is doing this and I am saying he looks like he is doing this, why argue?

 

[Martinski43]

That he will die like Apollo Creed in Rocky IV?

No you do not. Did Mayweather cut weight, its just math. Both fighters are risking brain injury but only one cut weight. How can the weight cut be the biggest danger its silly.

Because brain injury is a cumulative thing. Death from a weight cut and its many, many, many complications can be instant. Math, bruh!

Also, Floyd being part of the 1% of fighters who don't cut is the exception rather than the rule. Again, math, bruh!

You suck at Maths and its time to just let this thread move on.
