    How would Conor McGregor do sparring against Rigo compared to how Taylor did vs Rigo?

    Conor would beat her ugly because he's a man. She's probably more skilled than he is but the physical differences between the sexes should more than make up for that disparity.

    Connor gassed out of his mind in the 4th round

    Hits like a breeze.

    I think Katie would beat him in 10-12 rounder fairly easily. She is technically one of the best female boxers i've ever seen...has 0 power...but neither does Connor.



    Floyd is shot, feather-fisted because of his glass hands and carried Connor for many rounds. Even someone like Berto would finish Connor in a round or two if he wanted.

    Connor would look good being a try hard for 4 rounds...but when the later rounds hit Katie would school him.

    I hate womans boxing but Katie is a standout...and it's not like she's on steroids and testosterone PEDs like them butch UFC females.

    Conor by KO in 1 round. Rigondeaux is taking it easy on her there I think.

    Like him or not McGregor can box and has a bit of talent and gave a poorly prepared Mayweather problems for 6 rounds. He doesn’t beat anyone in the top 10 at light middleweight without getting more experience in my opinion.

    The physical advantages that a trained fighting male athlete has over any female boxer is huge. The strength and power differences are very significant.

    There are also coordination and spacing skill differences between men and womens, significantly in a mans favour. A male boxer just like a male footballer always looks better and more coordinated to the eye, because they actually are. This is a less politically correct area of difference as it pertains to the difference in a male brain function vs a female brain function.

    Rigo looked like he was sparring with his 12 year old niece...while his brother was watching.

    Never forget that time when the goat of female boxing was knocked out by a guy nobody knew.

    Women boxing is getting better and Taylor is really good but a trained fighter who is also a world class fighter like McGregor beats her easily, the strenght difference is too much.

    This has been done to death already. Why do people insist on recycling stupid threads like this that they and everyone else knows the answer to?

    Hollly Holm vs. Taylor would be more interesting.

    17-0 boxing, 37-0-1 in kickboxing. Says on her wikipedia she was the chick who paralyzed Hilary Swank in Million Dollar Baby. Seems legit. I can't find anything on the guy to check his bona fides. *Boxrec says he had a 13-1 record.

    Same rubbish we heard when Rhonda Rousey v Mayweather was mooted. Getting punched on the face by a trained man v trained women is worlds apart in power.

    Katie would get banged out once Conor connects. But to be fair to Taylor, she would still bang out the majority of normal untrained man and women.

    KT weights 130lbs. conor fights 154-170 and a man. You and any other moron that thinks she even has a chance of beating him should just stop watching the sport.

    I only posted this because a lot of her punches are thrown more correctly than Conor`s, while Connor would be too big, I think she could spar well vs him, he doesn`t look that good when he`s sparring and he`s easier to hit, maybe because of his head guard.
