His stance kept his biggest weapon very far back. I would have expected better clinch work from Conor, which his Thai experience and size advantage.
For coming up in MMA in 5 years with no pro boxing experience, Conor did amazing in a game that only allows punching. Floyd is a tactical and strategic genius. You could see the entire fight how he was leading Conor around by the nose. I think he's a terrible person, but he is a damn, damn, damn good boxer. So much heart, so much dedication, just a legend.
