If only boxers had the ambition and mental fortitude of McGregor. Im not a UFC fan , but this guy is clearly the embodiment of what every fighter should be. He puts sissy boys like Bumlovkin to shame. A man with a mission- fight everybody and anybody , no matter the weight.
Really? Reads as being pretty bitter and small minded. Boxing fans tend to freak out anytime mma is mentioned.
I'm not taking anything out of context. Kareem was friends with Bruce Lee. Bruce Lee told him that. The interview is in the March 2016 issue of Esquire. Read it yourself. Don't take it out of context to suit YOUR agenda. I don't have any agenda.
He meant it in the context of EVERYTHING ... genius. Jabbar referenced it regarding his mastering the sky hook in basketball. Do you even know who Jabbar is or what the sky hook was? Christ. This board is filled with freaking children.:-(
If Golvokin's opponent pulled out and some average heavier guy, say De Carolis, was called up as a replacement, do you really think he'd be worried?
When I say stupid, I mean you really ****ing stupid. To think you are too stupid to realize that you tried to use Bruce Lee to prove boxing is better than mma, that boxing's rigid style is better? You must really be a freaking heel! Bruce Lee is the antithesis to an orthodox system such as boxing. That's why he discarded all orthodox fighting arts and developed his own you dumbass! For godsake, Bruce is the godfather of MMA. Haha...
Indeed. McGregor was going to fight the best guy in a higher weight class without a tuneup. Now he's moving up a ridiculous 25 lbs for the Diaz fight.
You can't even read. I was commenting on the discussion that more variables doesn't make something more difficult. I brought up Bruce Lee because I actually remember him when he was alive. And, unlike you, I didn't think the sky hook was an MMA strike or a boxing punch. Get your head out of your @ss. And learn how to read, for God's sake. Do you have a dad? Ask him about Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. And f*ck off. :hi:
If you're going to reply try staying on topic instead just purely attacking the person. You really are that ****ing stupid because not only did you try to apply the Bruce's comment about classical orthodox Chinese Gung Fu but that you are too ****ing stupid to even know what the **** he was talking about. In Asian martial arts, they teach a thousand different kicks, all these ridiculous animal and insect forms. That's what he was talking about, you don't need to ****ing know Tiger form, or Praying Mantis forms you dumbass. Because historically, martial artists prided themselves on who knew more forms, and thus because you know more forms in a real fight, the one who knew most won! Right? 'course you wouldn't know that, nor could you from simply ****ing Googling it. atsch
Conor McGregor is a true character, not a phoney. He'd beat Mayweather in an actual FIGHT. Anyway, you can't knock a guy who takes out the guy who was P4P no.1 for 10 years, in just 13 seconds.
I applauded his recent press conference, especially in regards to tearing down PBF's poster and daring PBF to do something about it. lol
