Title: Conor McGregor vs Lloyd Maypeter
Post by: Xant on July 13, 2017, 07:32:27 pm
Anyone following this? Toronto presser was pretty wild. Conor McGregor is going to be the biggest name in sports ever after he KOs Lloyd in the third round.

As much as I would love to see that happen it seems incredibly unlikely. Have you not seen the videos of McGregor trying to box?

Tbh the best outcome would be a double knock out leading to dual traumatic brain bleeding and double death in the ring. Both are total dickheads.

Harsh. Floyd is far dickier than Conor.  McG is quite funny and an entertaining troll.  Floyd will run too much to get caught and I don't think he'll ko Conor.  Probably be a boring fight.  Conor always has a chance of clipping him though.  Conor has advanced from being on the dole to a multi, multi millionaire in a few short years.  Good on him.

Its boxing June Weatherman will win, I don't want him to but he is one of the best technical boxers that has been in the ring.  McPotatoe might get a good hit or two in but yeah it will be another unexciting boxing match, unless your into the finer points of boxing.

I have, and I take it you have no idea about boxing since you ask. Conor already whooped a top 10 boxer in sparring a year ago, Chris Van Heerden.

I think McPotatoe will do as well in the fight like OKAM devs did on EPIC. HUuuuuge talk, zerooo work. They may throw in a few armors or swords (read: cosmetic punches).

Another similarity with OKAM?

i said the same thing to myself... but i think i do hate pussyboy floyd more.

Here's how it will go. Connor won't be able to hit floyd, he will get furious after the second or third round, and floyd will catch him and that's all she wrote.

Also i think the PPV is like 100$ instead of 50 like normally..... idiots. I'm not paying for it anyway

Conor's more accurate, faster, and has better angles than Maidana. And Maidana hit Floyd plenty.

Conor by KO, guaranteed. You can take that to the bank.

Conor via Mayweather dive in 3rd round.

Nah, Floyd is prideful and cocky like McGregor.  Apparently he has plenty of money (though guys with retinues tend to burn cash) so there is no motivation for him to dive.  Quite the contrary, I'm sure he'd like to school Conor in the manly art.

Floyd is obsessed with money more so than his record. A dive would set up a rematch and then assuming he wins it, a rubber match to end the trilogy.

He'd become the first billionaire boxer.

Problem with that story line is that if he loses, especially with a dive which is not that easy to fake, no one will pay a penny to see a rematch.

Scripted match. No way non boxer would last 10 rounds vs world champion.

Same goes the other way around. If they fought MMA style boxer would get suffocated in 20 seconds tops.

This was a bit like those shitty C grade movies where Tyrannosaurus Rex fights Gigantic Shark. Makes no sense but is cheap entertainment for general crowd who watch WWE.

Yes, nothing is ever real Leshma, old men in suits sitting around a darkened room smoking cigars decide how everything happens. Have you ever gotten punched in the face? Knocket out? I volunteer to give you the experience, if you like. You'd have to be a pretty godamn good actor to pull off a script that requires you to get wobbled and dazed. And also a complete retard to compare it to fucking "pro" wrestling, so it doesn't surprise me you made the comparison. Completely appropriate leshmanism.
Title: Re: Conor McGregor vs Lloyd Maypeter
Post by: Leshma on August 27, 2017, 03:05:02 pm
Way to generalize, Oberyn. I just find it hard to believe that this was proper match because:
- it was a clown match and both fighters are known to be entertainers first then fighters in their respective categories
- it happened during an era where classical fighting disciplines have hit the bottom and are being replaced by clown fiestas like american wrestling, which again, is fully scripted show

This happened because American viewers paid 100 $$$ to watch this one match. Not because you or me wanted to see over illegal stream. Those American viewers watch WWE, this was made for them to enjoy.

Edit: You should watch WWE a little bit more, those actors are very good at faking injuries.

Post by: Oberyn on August 27, 2017, 03:33:33 pm
McGregor gameplay seemed to have been go out guns blazing and try to do as much damage as possible in the early rounds. Maywheather's gameplan was to, well, weather the early rounds without exherting himself and drag McGregor to the later rounds he's clearly not used to experiencing. He was gassing out around the 6th/7th already, once he got wobbled in the 8th and Maywheather smelled blood in the water it was done.

"it happened during an era where classical fighting disciplines have hit the bottom and are being replaced by clown fiestas like american wrestling, which again, is fully scripted show"

Absolutely retarded and ignorant, yet declared with complete faith in your own nonexistent knowledge, classic Leshma. Actual fighting disciplines have had a massive uptick in popularity, the heyday of soap opera style american wrestling was the 80's and early 90's. Muay Thai, kick boxing, actual wrestling, judo, BJJ, etc have been growing in popularity and entering the mainstream the last couple of decades. Reality once again is the exact opposite of whatever delusion resides in your head.
Title: Re: Conor McGregor vs Lloyd Maypeter
Post by: Xant on August 27, 2017, 04:32:34 pm
Obviously it was scripted, I mean why not? Just go ahead and risk ruining legacies of both fighters and facing massive legal backlash that'd leave both possibly bankrupt, just so that you can.....

Well fuck me, I got nothing. I literally don't know what the supposed benefit here would be of scripting it instead of them fighting for real.


Good fight though, Conor did better than expected. Took up to 5 rounds from Mayweather, who's the greatest of our generation in boxing, albeit clearly somewhat diminished from even two years ago. And the amount of times Conor took Mayweather's back... that'd have been death for Floyd in any other setting than boxing. Pretty much all the pro MMA fighters and boxers tweeted that they were very impressed.

Post by: Yeldur on August 27, 2017, 06:34:20 pm
The thing is, Mayweather just sits back and lets everyone swing away at him til they wear themselves out and then he comes in for the strike. He saves all his power until his opponent has used up all their energy (Pacquiao fight anyone?) then attacks them full force when they can't defend themselves. I'm not insulting his tactic, but his tactic beats McGregor's whole fighting style, you can't really do that in kickboxing as you'll end up getting fucked over, in boxing, it's very different. McGregor did well for someone who is the opposite of a professional boxer, but, to be honest, all it takes is to look at Mayweather's style.

In this fight I will admit he was a lot more aggressive, but he was still playing relatively passively throughout the match. Truthfully I think it would have been more interesting if they were both fighting aggressively as hell, then it would have been a game of who gets KO'd first, not who gets worn down and KO'd first.



All in all, McGregor didn't win, but he did land some pretty damn good hits during the fight. Gotta give him credit for that.

Mayweather was the worst possible opponent for McGregor. He's dangerous early but he fades fast. A defensive genius is literally his kryptonite. Slugger type boxers like Canelo and GGG are his ideal opponents. He's not going to sleep in 1-2 when he can out-counter Floyd himself in the first round. Of course if he gasses against GGG/Canelo then the finish is going to be a lot uglier than what Floyd delivered.

McGregor's defense was not natural to boxing. Mayweather saw this and was able to walk through his guard taking little to no punishment and TKO'd him. That type of flawed defense would go horribly wrong against a slugger. I didn't expect McGregor to win so I wasn't really surprised, crossing into a totally different sport put him at a huge disadvantage, I just didn't expect him to lose as badly as he did, he barely won one round. It was also a bad idea for him to fight with 8oz gloves, I think that hurt him more.

He was only able to walk McGregor down once McGregor gassed.

He won 3-5 rounds. Showtime had him neck-and-neck with Mayweather before the TKO. He did incredibly well especially considering Mayweather abused the boxing rules to the hilt.

If you expected him to win more than 5 rounds then you've really got no clue, and if you think he "lost badly" then you also have no clue. There's a reason why boxing legends are saying the fight was competitive, and they know a bit more than you do.

Watch at 37 seconds lol. Well MMA tends to be more about bursts and fights tend to be shorter. It takes a special kind of conditioning to last 12 rounds and stay active all 12 rounds. It's like comparing cross country vs sprinters.

McGregor would beat Floyd 19 out of 20 times they fought.

Abstract:
Floyd could only win against the stronger, younger, faster, & more skilled Conor McGregor under extraordinary and rigged circumstances (& even then only after Conor gassed!).

In this thread I will elucidate what these extraordinary circumstances were, and why they wouldn't apply most of the time. Conor wins both the rematch and the first fight in 19 out of 20 alternate universes, proven by math and Gödel's number theory &c.

Every argument I put forth is backed by rigorous logical thinking and rational analysis; opinions and bias simply have no place here.

Without further ado, I give you....

Four Reasons Why Floyd Pulled Off The Lucky Freak Win On August 26 (That Wouldn't Apply In Most Fights)

Reason 1: The Snake

figure 1.

The Reptile, Paulina, the Snake, The One Who Speaks, Paulie Malignaggi -- whatever you want to call him, his role in this fight's outcome cannot be denied by any rationally thinking human being. Paulie Malignaggi (hailing out of Bronx, NY) was sent as a spy and triple agent into the Irishman's camp to learn his secrets and to sabotage his progress. Credit where credit is due, Paulie was tremendously successful in his job. I'm not here to cast moral judgement one way or the other, but whether his actions were ethical are up to each reader and each reader alone. Needless to say, however, that most elite-level moral philosophers that I hang out with are extremely disappointed in Malignaggi's behavior. He's fortunate that Nietzsche killed God in the 18th century, because there were limits to even His mercy (see e.g., Old Testament).

Thanks to Malignaggi's deep-running and inevitable betrayal, Floyd Mayweather (pictured on the left with Paulie Malignaggi, figure 1), McGregor's opponent, was able to tailor his tactics to Conor's approach. This is akin to a chessmaster knowing exactly which stratagems his opponent would go for, and victory would be all but guaranteed.

What was Floyd's counter-tactic to McGregor and just what (among other things) did Paulie reveal to him? This and more I'll explain in Reason 4.

Reason 2: Conor's Gloves Weren't Laced Properly

Quote
They tied up the laces and brought them back to the wrist, to support the wrist. What it actually does is make the glove tighter, so when [a punch] lands, it has more bite.

You loop [the laces] at the wrist and tie it around the wrist. That's just Boxing 101. You learn that the first day in the gym.

They had the gloves tied down at the forearm, which leaves the gloves loose, and doesn't give you the support.
https://www.balls.ie/newsnow/andy-lee-conor-mcgregor-gloves-372324'

As anyone who has ever boxed can tell you, lacing of the gloves is one of the most important factors when it comes to the gloves, far more important than the size of the glove itself -- ask any Hall of Famer. Conor's gloves being laced poorly is the equivalent of him wearing 26oz pillows, and made knocking out Floyd Mayweather an impossible task in practice. This is huge! Conor's principal weapons (his power and accuracy) were stolen from him thus making a (T)KO victory a path he couldn't take.

Further, this doesn't solely impact the chances of a knock out, but of course impacts his overall power negatively, thus allowing Mayweather to ignore punches that would send him reeling back were the gloves laced properly.

Suspiciously, Mayweather seems to have had foreknowledge of the lacing issue, for the tactic he and Malignaggi cooked up before the fight appears to have taken this into account. Also, as further evidence, he knew if he referee did not get a chance to stop the fight in his favor, it would go to a decision, despite McGregor's prowess and reputation as a deadly knock-out artist. Why, you ask? Because the judges were bought with big money, and this is clear evidence of Floyd's almost magical knowledge of what would come to be.

So -- who was responsible for lacing up Conor's gloves? A good question. No one seems to know. It's as if "The Lacer" simply vanished after the fact. Rather makes you think, no?

Reason 3: Mayweather Was Knocked Out By Zab Judah Prior To The Fight
http://mmaimports.com/2017/08/breaking-floyd-mayweather-knocked-out-by-zab-judah-in-sparring/

It was leaked to the press, and the fans, that Mayweather employed Zab Judah in preparation for the Irish Knock Out Machine.

This isn't the first time Floyd's taken advantage of Zab's considerable skillset to prepare for a fight, but as Fortune would have it, Zab's style bears a striking, serendipitous resemblance to Conor's style, albeit with less technical brilliance but just as much blazing speed. However, it is the first time Floyd has been caught by Zab badly enough to be knocked out!

Because of TMT's tight-knight, family-unit nature, the gym and Mayweather were able to keep this "public secret" as merely a rumor, officially, and medical professionals (I don't blame them, they did their best) weren't able to confirm the knock out. Zab's management was hastily instructed to lay a smoke screen and to claim Zab was never present in the gym.

Floyd himself certainly didn't volunteer to confess this to the doctors overseeing the bout. He would've been given a medical suspension and the fight would've been off.

And not for nothing: the reason why knock outs result in suspensions, much like getting caught for steroids, is that the fighter builds a resistance to getting knocked out again until the brain heals and the "sensors" responsible for shutting off the brain recover their normal function (that is, to tell the brain to shut down after a certain amount of trauma). This gives the fighter that has been recently knocked out an extremely unfair advantage. It becomes essentially impossible to knock them out again until some months have passed. As Prince Naseem Hamed famously said, it only takes 3 pounds of force to knock someone out, properly applied. With the trick Floyd used (getting knocked out just prior to the real fight), those 3 pounds are multiplied by a factor of ^3.

Reason 4: The Judges And Referee Were Bought

Figure 2.

In the picture above (figure 2) we see the judge payments. Notice anything strange? You should, because I circled the discrepancies in red and added exclamation points. This can't be stated strongly enough: TWO JUDGES IN THE MAYWEATHER-MCGREGOR FIGHT WERE PAID MILLIONS OF DOLLARS EACH!!!

Inquiring minds want to know: why? Well, why would you ever pay 100 million and 30 million to two judges for 30 minutes of work? And does anyone find it coincidental that two judges were paid, and two judges only gave Conor 1 round? I certainly do, and like V from V For Vendetta, I don't believe in coincidences.

And then of course we have the referee. Ah, yes, the referee. Thirty years from now, we will see a picture of Robert Byrd as the definition for "early stoppage", and for good reason. He was clearly looking for an opportunity to stop the fight, because he knew that the longer it goes, the more dangerous for Floyd it gets. And so he jumped in after a couple glancing arm punches, causing an uproar in the MMA and boxing community, with thousands if not millions crying "it was stopped early!" Mike Tyson among others...

This is a genius strategy by Floyd, one he's notorious (no pun intended) for using in all his matches: pay two judges and you're guaranteed at least a majority decision! You save 1/3 of your money this way also, showing that Floyd is not just a great boxer, he's also a shrewd businessman. Look at the majority decisions in his career; we can take the Canelo one as an example. Without this system of his, he would likely have lost to the young lion of Mexico.

Speaking of Mexico....

Reason 5: Floyd Became a Mexican

Figure 3.

I promised to talk about the tactic Floyd came up with Malignaggi and in this chapter I will.

Floyd's analysis of the information that Paulie provided him told him one important thing: the only way to beat McGregor is to become a Mexican. Paulie was beaten & defeated soundly, but that much he was able to relay back to his paymaster. Floyd wasted no time, and he hired Nate Diaz, among others, to teach him the secrets of Mexico. This is why the two seem like old chums: they are.

Pictured above (figure 3.) we have Floyd "getting into role" in a mock-up sparring session.

As Conor says, he "turned Floyd into a Mexican", in more than one sense. The elusive master counter-puncher was turned into a walk-forward zombie, but McGregor gives the man too much credit: it was NOT an adaptation Floyd made in the ring, but rather a home cooked meal (vs. microwave meal, "in the ring fast adaptation"), prepared with care and well in advance of the guests* arriving. Without the proper time to adjust and prepare for the fresh new challenge a young stallion in McGregor presented him, as told to him by Paulie Malignaggi, Floyd would have been dead in the water against the canny old shark that is Conor.

If the fight played out a hundred times, then 99 times out of a 100 Floyd would not have such detailed information and wouldn't be able to prepare accordingly. As to why Conor wins the rematch... he wins because he's as adaptable as they come, as evident by the Diaz 2 fight, and he would give Floyd many Different Looks if he knew he was, potentially, facing a Mexican.

* = symbolism: Conor is the guest.

Math explained

Long story short, when you put all the above together and calculate it with Bayes' Theorem, you get a probability of victory for each fighter (let Conor be A and let Floyd be B), and when you further insert into the theorem the Many Worlds Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics and Schrödinger's Feline, you get the probability of not just a victory in one fight, but of as many fights in as many alternate universes as you like!

In my example, I used 20 alternate universes, and A>B 19/20 times. As you remember, A=Conor. You could run the simulation of the formula with as many alternate universes you like, but if you know your calculus then it won't be difficult to calculate the percentage in your head (i.e., 19/20 translates to 98/100 with 100 alternate universes.)

Much of the math and the more intellectual explanations may go above most of the readers' heads here, but I believe the basic premise can be understood by almost anyone.

No, but on the bright side, 19 out of 20 Pauls in alternate quantum universes are now very rich. You should be happy for them.

19 out of 20 Pauls in alternate quantum universes are very disappointed in you.
