Have you ever read "The Sweet Science" A.J Liebling. Great stuff. There is no way to compare the subtle beauty and discipline and integrity of boxing to schoolyard fighting.
He fought a killer in his second pro fight ever. And he was competitive the whole fight. Many people said he shouldn't have even taken that fight so early. But contrary to many of these up n comers who fight cans to pad their records.. Loma fights the best. P4P no one comes close
You make a great point about the lack of footwork. I think he was so caught up in trying to make himself "unpredictable" and show off how he was ambidextrous and all that (changing lefty and righty multiple times per round and all that smoke and mirror) while never really being able to set his feet and throw a proper jab/cross/hook/uppercut. Shockingly, none of his punches appeared to have any sort of sting on them from the opening bell. Granted, Floyd has a history of making good punchers look off (his fight with Canelo was incredibly awkward to watch) but Connor didn't appear at all to be rooted in any boxing fundamentals...despite having been introduced to fighting at a famous Dublin boxing club and being known as a striker obviously. I heard pre-fight commentary (about a week ago or so) where the guy gave some interesting insight into the biggest adjustment for Connor coming into this match. He said that Connor usually sets up his hand strikes with kicks or at least THE THREAT of a kick. If you watched the second Diaz fight, it was Connor's front leg kick to Diaz that set up the rest of the fight for him (including the damage he was able to do with his punches to the head). In fact, I'd say that in his second Diaz fight, Connor was somewhat Muay Thai in his approach to breaking down the bigger Diaz. Take out the legs and then punish the head and body. It appears that, without his full arsenal, he wasn't even HALF a fighter last night...more like a third or even a fourth.
Ok. Now I am thinking you're sort of crazy for real. Middleweights have provided some of the hardest hitters in boxing history!!! And in another post you called Roy Jones a boring fighter?!! Brah...get a grip and come back to reality. Saying such outrageously and clearly misguided comments just makes you sound like you've got some sort of vendetta. You have lost all objectivity and it's not even remotely subtle any more. No one can take you seriously at this point.
you got me mixed up with some one else BRAH...... I never mentioned Roy Jones
Oh. My bad if I got your crazy talk mixed up with someone else's. After a minute or so urs just started to sound like everybody else's. I'm sure you can forgive my confusion.
Never said one punch. Your extreme views tho are without merit. And I pulled that from memory chief. Anyone that has your ignorance that talks so much out of his arse must think everyone else on planet earth takes the same approach. You're unique in that way brah. Some might say "special."
I will go have a look at his fights and the loss which was shrouded with controversy.
And you got it all sewn up
