Conor McGregor And His Coach Break Down Boxing Footage of Charles Bronson

Conor McGregor is quite a savant when it comes to striking. After all, he rose to “champ champ” status by packing punches that people hadn’t seen in the lighter weight classes before. McGregor may have his share of issues inside the cage, but he will rarely be outmatched in the striking department.
McGregor, who fought Floyd Mayweather in a professional bout and is looking to book a boxing return against Manny Pacquiao, is a reputable voice in punching someone. This is why he had a discussion with Coach John Kavanagh about boxing on Twitter.
That’s actually not bad fighting at all. Solid back hand, hurt the guy a few times, as well as dropped him. Heavy hips and good aggressive shots when the fight changed levels. I’d give that a good rating for what it is/when it what was.

McGregor disagreed with Kavanaugh’s take on some footage of Charles Bronson fighting. Bronson was a notorious hard-nosed criminal, possibly one of the most famous prisoners ever. While Kavanaugh drew comparisons with a Tom Hardy movie and dismissed Bronson’s actual skill, McGregor defended it. He said he would give it a good rating for the time it was in and for what it is today.

However, McGregor’s voice should be heard when it comes to breaking down boxing. Losing to Floyd Mayweather isn’t a black mark on his resume. Literally everyone who fought Money Mayweather has lost. But Conor did take the fight to him, showing the boxing fans that his MMA striking can transition sports.

A fight against Pacquiao would generate a lot of interest. While one could consider Manny more beatable for Conor, it would be silly to say Conor would be a favorite. But for what is going on now, Conor’s analysis of Bronson makes a lot of sense.
It’s easy to forget that Conor McGregor is a fighter before anything else, and the compulsion to break down footage like this is a natural one. Of course, it is a different matter whether he can return to a ring or a cage and execute all the expertise that he has to offer.
