3. Conor’s Cardio Improvements
While Nate is gaining weight Conor is taking it off. Recent photos of Conor online have shown him slimmed down and lean.
Conor’s camp could have gone one of two possible directions in prepping for this fight:
– Get bigger and try to knock Nate out
– Get smaller and faster with improved cardio
They went with the second one. Taking off weight will improve Conor’s cardio, decreasing the chances that he will gas out and give Nate an opening again. His team knows that they only have to do the same thing they were doing for the first round and a half of the first fight, but have the gas tank to keep going for a possible five rounds.
A slimmer, faster and more elusive Conor will be a riddle Nate can’t solve.
