Good job by Aldo but you can see how he was eating punches flush when Garcia started to push the pace. these mma strikers rely a lot on distance control and focus a lot more on actually not getting hit with the smaller gloves while boxers are much more willing to take one in order to land one.

anyway I don't know much about Garcia but either he was going super slow or he won't find Lomachenko if they ever fight.

Did you miss the Broner fight?

It's gotta be interesting for these high level boxers to gauge, but I think, much like Mayweather Mcgregor, you're seeing them let MMA guys blow their wad.
It was pretty obvious, as far as orthodox boxing goes, Aldo has more potential than Mcgregor.

Yes missed it. I had that fight on my radar more because of Broner but I missed it, don't remember why.

And yes Conor's touchbutt training works in mma but pro boxers have their shit down to a science. Things have been tested through trial and error for hundreds of years. You don't walk into a boxing ring and try new stuff and not get your shit pushed in. Aldo does basic stuff in this video and gets away with it.

The one who makes your ass burn every time you see him.
Nah, can't be him, it burns fairly consistently, every 4 months or so after some Taco Bell.
I don't see Conor near that much.
I don't think he's had a single MMA fight this year, has he?

Extremely happy Aldo is working on his boxing. Rgba is a solid gym to do work too. Garcia is one of the best in the game. I can't wait to see Aldo back in the cage

You know mikey was taking it easy in Aldo. Mikey is very solid. You probably don't know much about him becauses he's been inactive for the last two or so years as he was having beef with top rank. He recently tooled up adrien broner on showtime.

But yes, Garcia was taking it easy on aldo
