Using the right tool?


Recommended Posts

Sometimes, we think too hard about something. A simple analogy has really gone off the rails here, I think.

This.

I think sometimes we all fall into this trap.

Sometimes people can seem to be predictable, like using a metric spanner on an imperial nut, it might look like the right tool from the first impression that can turn out to be a simple mistake.
Hence the term, "using the right tool for the job."

Watching the McGregor vs Mayweather fight, reminded me of this topic about using the right tools.

McGregor run out of energy to win the fight, couldn't defend himself near the end, as his tools were to heavy to use.

My perspective on tools hasn't been the same as everyone else here.

My fault as explaining something sometimes isn't easy.

At the end of the fight, Mayweather still had plenty of energy to use his tools.

Mayweather beat McGregor by using his energy wisely.

Whereas McGregor used up his energy too early in the game.

In Horse racing they use this strategy also, to pace themselves in the beginning and let loose nearer the final stretch.

Tools don't work without energy to move them, perhaps it is the same idea as guns don't kill people, people do.

Mayweather won that fight before anyone ever got into the ring, because he was taking McGregor away from his strengths and bringing him to his.

Its really as simple as that. If Mayweather would step into the MMA ring now, we'd see that the fight would go McGregor's way, probably fairly easily.

Anyone who knew McGregor's fight career knew that he only went the distance, 25 minutes total, what, one or two times? Mayweather knew that he could box with McGregor for the first several rounds, until he got tired, and then he would be able to open up on him. And that's pretty much what happened.

I didn't even see the fight, and I had it figured out beforehand. This really wasn't a mystery that was difficult to figure out, in my opinion. And now Mayweather will stay retired, 50-0, and McGregor will go back about his business.

Or will McGregor step into Boxing full-time?
