:camby: you got 2 more days of hyping Connor up before reality sets in

what's hyping besides stating facts, aldo was a punching bag against mendes, he can't stand in front of conor like that expect to survive, its just a fact, his boxing technique is superior

always reason mendes lasted as long as he did was because he was able to take him down, which is something aldo must do to win

He can stand with him. It just depends where. If he tries to strike from range like Mendes did then yes he will get KO'd. But Aldo is craftier and understands striking better then that. I am sure he will not remain on the end of Connor's straights and fight inside. Connor has solid lateral movement to cut off guys but Aldo has way better footwork, head movement then his opponents. You just totally ignored my point that mendes has no counter kicking game. Siver got Connor throwing a spinning kick and dropped him on his ass. You don't think Aldo will do the same? Aldo isn't some wilted mentally weak fighter who will fold with the first hard hit Connor throws. Like i said, he immediately recovered and countered Mendes with even harder strikes. And once again, Florian/Sung. Same size as Connor. They are no where near the striker Connor is. But Aldo didn't have much trouble with their range. You keep saying the reach, while an advantage to Connor for sure, is just some crazy shyt Aldo cannot over come. Gus has a 79 reach compared to Jones 85 and we saw how that went. And connor is no where near as defensive as Jones. I just think your assertion that Aldo will get smoked standing is crazy. He shouldn't get into a prolonged stand up war because he is much more diverse and the volume/power of Connor is always a concern. But to think he stands no chance?

He did not drop him, what fight wre you watching also that was in one moment

Jones' boxer is nowhere near Conor's and Gus has superior hands, terrible comparison

you will see come fight time if Aldo wins its because he as able to keep conor on the ground and beat him up, if the fight stays standing he will get KO'd

Aldo can not a fight a whole round standing against conor, he will take way too much damage
