Nah, Diaz is the better boxer. Conor's just faster. A lot faster.

They basically had a kickboxing match which Diaz won.

I was honestly amazed at Conor's speed. I don't watch fights but was roped into going with some friends and the way he moves is kind of nuts,

 

[sf2fanatic]

Dana gonna need to give half the company to Brock just to see him come back? He probably needs to do it now..lol

 

[ironcreed]

No chance. You could see Diaz was hurting, especially on the cut which Conor kept poking. If Conor simply kept picking at him patiently he'd have been done. That one connect that rocked Conor, that he should have had his hands up for, just took it out of him. After that it was game over. It wasn't a lucky shot, but Conor was sloppy to let it connect. I mean, it wasnt exactly subtle or stealthy.

Were we watching the same fight? Nate hurt him and his knees turned to rubber. Nate kept pouring it on as Conor retreated and then Conor tried a take down to prevent getting his ass handed to him. Which meant he was screwed either way and was in an even worse position. Hence, the result. He got his ass beat. Sorry.

 

[Reg]

Can we still have him fight Lawler just for the fun of it lol.

 

[King Kovu]

That's what he get for disrespecting Stockton!!!

 

[Maintenance]

Oh god this is amazing.

 

[BiGBoSSMk23]

This is awesome lol

 

[Dmented]

He's very good but all the hype was premature.

You have to do it for a long time before you should get that type of props.

Absolutely agree 100%. I mean still, doing the things he did prior to this fight is no small feat and props were earned. But to think of him as some super fighter, nah. In time? I can see it happening. I can see him becoming an Anderson Silva or GSP.

Nope. A better boxer wouldn't have got his face lit up that quick in the first round.

Being fast doesn't mean anything, ask Roy Jones Jr.

A good boxer can nullify speed with great timing.

 

[ldcommando]

I'll admit something in this thread now, I was born and raised and still live in Stockton.

I feel manlier just for posting in the same thread as you bud

Phil "Fatty Deposits" Brooks

its like hes trying to channel fat mac. was he always that big?

 

[SRTtoZ]

Loooool

 

[BennyBlanco]

Damn it feels good to be a Dana.

Right about now.

Dana is probably fuming.

His biggest draw now looks human and loses most of his appeal to people who don't really care about the sport, for the 2nd PPV in a row.

 

[Spy]

No denial, just stating facts. Conor is the better boxer as his left hand was tagging Diaz all night.

Diaz winning doesn't prove your statement correct at all.

Did you watch the fight? Just admit your boy got outboxed.

 

[RootCause]

Lol good job Data.
Im off to bed. What a night.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

MMA as a sport feels so random.

Boxing = Street Fighter
MMA = MAHVEL

This is how Dana feels right now

It really is. In boxing Conor could have taken a knee after that hard punch, taken 8 seconds to get his shit together and continued the fight. MMA by nature is more prone to flukey/flash type finishes (not to say this one specifically was a fluke). It's why guys like Ronda or Conor and others get hyped up so quickly. It's not a sport where you are going to let guys have a bunch of tune up fights. You strike while the irons hot and take advantage of somebody's draw/star power while you can.

 

[-MD-]

This is just too much hahahahahaha

 

[AnotherDayAnotherDollar]

I had mentioned on another thread that Diaz had more than a fair shot and was a good bet if he had his regular camp. There was also talk about McGregor fighting Lawler, which is laughable at best. McGregor has power at 145, maybe at 155 as well, but I don't believe he's putting anyone away at 170. Lawler is one of the hardest hitting guys when he fought at 185, and he didn't seem like he lost power when he dropped down to 170.

Hopefully that humbles him a bit because McGregor is arrogant to the point of being annoying. He's a good fighter though, so I will appreciate watching Edgar fighting for the belt at 145

 

[SRTtoZ]

Its finally complete.

 

[BunnyBear]

Conor please destroy this bird chested bastard

where is you god now

 

[nib95]

Nah, Diaz is the better boxer. Conor's just faster. A lot faster.

They basically had a kickboxing match which Diaz won.

I honestly feel that Diaz only won tonight because Conor basically had little to no defence, and was just too arrogant. Diaz had his hands up the entire time, Conor on the other hand just seemed to just be taking it in his stride, and easily picking shots.

If there's a rematch, I'd be utterly shocked if Conor doesn't win, and I say this as someone who isn't exactly a big Conor stan.

 

[ironcreed]

Can we still have him fight Lawler just for the fun of it lol.

Oh god, Lawler would embarrass him.

 

[ramoisdead]

I disagree. People are talking more about this PPV compared to if the predictable happened. Plus it helps that most of the people wanted Conor and Holm to fail.

Dana partyin' tonight for now.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

where is you god now

probably doing some coke and hopefully calling an Uber.

 

[soundahfekz]

There's some very happy betters tonight in Vegas that's for sure, damn

 

[StoopKid]

So...who's UFC got left to exploit now?

We need you Jon!

Conor is ALWAYS like this when he fights.

People in the MMA world seem to think power transfers as you go up, from boxing you know this just isn't true at all.

 

[NomarTyme]

Lawler is a real life monster.

Seriously...I don't see how anyone could say Connor was winning upright either. You could see it in Connor's face after those 2nd-round combos: he knew he couldn't withstand much of that once Nate came on.

 

[PR_rambo]

Please don't bring Floyd into this...

He fought a guy in Canelo Alvarez who outweighed him by 25 lbs on fight night and masterclassed him.

 

[The Beard]

Did you watch the fight? Just admit your boy got outboxed.

Conor's still the champ in his natural weight class. Nate can take a beating though, he's legit.

 

[zelas]

.

 

[Turin]

I was rooting for Holly but I don't mind Tate getting the title at all.

 

[Ikuu]

Conor's still the champ in his natural weight class. Nate can take a beating though, he's legit.

Seems all Conor is good at is beating on the midgets.

 

[Bowling Pin]

May weather still undefeated lol.

For real. Conor, Ronda and that chick from Girls Generation have all paid dearly for speaking out against Mayweather. A superfight with Jon Jones is the only solution.

 

[Macattk15]

Will Nate pass the post fight substance test?

For real. Conor, Ronda and that chick from Girls Generation have all paid dearly for speaking out against Mayweather. A superfight with Jon Jones is the only solution.

Damn that girl went HARD.

 

[80s Bad Guy]

Floyd doesn't even get out of bed for the kind of money Dana pays

 

[Donthizz#]

Oh god, Lawler would embarrass him.

Conor got rocked hard by a lightweight, Imagine what Robbie would do to him. will take his head clean off.

 

[abstract alien]

Conor's still the champ in his natural weight class. Nate can take a beating though, he's legit.

I'm not so sure that is his natural class honestly. He is still champ though, so eh. I still think he should fight RDA.

 

[-MD-]

All of my hype.

 

[BennyBlanco]

Please don't bring Floyd into this...

it's disrespectful to Floyd

 

[Epsilon-delta]

Did you watch the fight? Just admit your boy got outboxed.

I watched the fight and I could have imagined what was your reaction when Conor was tagging Diaz left and right until Conor got cocky and dropped his guard.

Conor got beat but Diaz is not the better boxer.

And Conor is not my boy at all lol.

 

[JJD]

No chance. You could see Diaz was hurting, especially on the cut which Conor kept poking. If Conor simply kept picking at him patiently he'd have been done.

I mean, it wasnt exactly subtle or stealthy.

That cut was not hurting him, it was just annoying him. Blood in your eye stings a lot. Some fighters have taken so much punishment over their careers that their skin is thin specially at that spot. The punch that opened him wasn't even that hard.

 

[Optimusdouche]

He fought a guy in Canelo Alvarez who outweighed him by 25 lbs on fight night and masterclassed him.

Yea at a catchweight of 150 lbs. Canelo was dead on weigh in. In fact, he couldn't even stand. He had to sit on a char immediately afterwards.

Floyd is a fraud. If he fought in UFC style org where he had to fight everyone he would've got his ass kicked plenty of times.

 

[Pop]

Conor could have finished the fight. But hes too cocky and fucked around.

 

[ramoisdead]

Floyd doesn't even get out of bed for the kind of money Dana pays

It's true. Dana can throw all the money he wants but it won't make Mayweather budge.

 

[Qvoth]

just came back from lunch, conor lost? lol

 

[Verendus]

There's some very happy betters tonight in Vegas that's for sure, damn

Forget Vegas friend, I just made over a hundred grand with my bet. I don't even like Diaz, but I feel slightly bad about that because this is all thanks to him.
