there are two things floyd figured out pretty early. mcgregor was leaving a very long southpaw jab out. what that does is fill up the space where you can throw your jab. so you dont get room to extend your jab out. floyd was not going to jab with or out jab mcgregor. not this way. and he was trying to steal his right hand from way out. mcgregor was seeing it coming and slipping it.
so what he decided to do was to get squared up and get his hands up. forget trying to out jab the guy. just get your hands up and walk through the jab. then get yourself closer so you can steal your right hand from up closer. that way mcgregor doesnt see it coming from way out. he gets it from up close so he doesnt have as much time to react to it.
mcgregor had no answer. well, but to get hit with a lot of right hands and to throw a lot of punches at floyd arms and gloves, that is. i guess that would take about 10 rounds, as hard as floyd punches.
