I know nobody on this board was alive when Bo Jackson played both football and baseball. But maybe someone has heard stories or could ask their dad or something. But what were the fan reactions when Bo would come to Oakland as a Royal or Kansas City as a Raider. Did the crowds still give him love despite being in the opposing side that day?

Well, go figure? Boxing is essentially designed for West Africans.

Africans, specifically West Africans, have the smallest lung capacity of all ethnicities in this world, which is great for anerobic sports and whenever intervals are present. East Africans are, so to speak, the opposite of that; great at long-distance running. Essentially, what this means for West Africans (almost 90% of all African Americans) is that they get out of breath sooner but need shorter breaks than East Africans or Europeans to get up again.

African Americans usually have fast-twitch muscle fibers of type llb (8% less slow-twitch and 7% more fast-twitch muscle fibers). They produce ATP (adenosine triphosphate, look it up) at a slow rate by anaerobic metabolism and break it down very quicky. This results in short, fast bursts of power and rapid fatigue

African Americans also have denser skeletons, a different skin barrier, longer limbs and less body fat on average. They are also more aggressive due to higher blood pressure, testosterone levels (which directly suppresses oxytocin in mice) and being more salt sensitive (of course could be linked to susceptibility to crime but never is). These are reasons they don't compete as well at "Strongman", swimming or also MMA.

Blacks, especially West Africans, have a different skin barrier.

You can see what this means. Every boxing match between a white man and a black man is fundamentally a David versus Goliath fight, but the media never promotes it this way. At this point, it's international, well-engineered white demoralization propaganda. I couldn't care less about the individual fighters and never even watch boxing, but judged by the currently known facts, McGregor would have annihilated Mayweather in the cage.

Explain this shit, boxingfags.

All boxing stars that joined MMA lost in the first round.

A MMA star was defeated only in 10th round in a boxing arena.

I dont get it

How could he be so gassed halfway through when he's been working with a specific conditioning coach since after the first Diaz fight

He's been working with him for 1.5 years now

Of course you can't get to Floyd's level in such a short time but after the 3-4 round, Conor's tank was gone

How could that be?

Can we all agree on that this is the most boring boxing style ever? Sure it'll get you 50-0 wins and good defence but it's boring as fuck.

Now, when Saurez is completely rubbish, Ibra old as fuck, Aguero scoring but without much consistency and Griezmann more into transfers than actual football, is he the best striker in the world?

/hockey/ here, is this actually a common strategy in boxing? I've seen better punching matches on skates to be quite genuinely frank and honest

Months of hype, fight doesn't even sell out.
wtf?
are novelty fights dead now?
Conor embarrassed himself, but so did MMA - and so did boxing cuz this shit didn't even sell out.

"Just hours before the fighters were to step into the ring, the T-Mobile Arena website had tickets available in every section except one in the upper bowl and the floor..."
