The MMA crowd is being silly. There was some X factor tk this fight - enough to where I wanted to see it. But it wasn't close. Conor was outclassed by a 40 year old man and the difference was very obvious. Once the fight started I wasn't worried about any of if. Theyre talking about Conors early rounds and trying to make it SEEM like it was close. He was never a threat and I knew he would gas after the 3rd. Conor wilted and showed that he is a lot of talk and relies more at mental tricks in excess sometimes. Now that he's 2-2 in his last four fights, it'd obvious his decline is right around the corner. Props to him for getting all he could put of the game super fast.

I had the fight a tiny bit closer than what the Judges scored it. Conor most definitely won that 2nd Round but that's about where I differ. Whomever said they scored round 9 a 10-8 round, looks like you were spot on.

Two of those score cards are bullshit though. McGregor won the first three rounds but after that he didn't win a single round. I don't know how you can give those rounds to Floyd when he didn't even punch. It was clear he was carrying the nigga to please the fans

"are essentially participation trophies".... :lol:

I started listening to MMA recap and it sounded like Fox News. No context. Connor landed more than Pacquaio! connor fought the best boxer today and landed! Every commentator has an angle. I know this. But very few have actually given a rationale review of the fight.

- Connor fought pretty well, especially for his first pro fight
- Floyd did not fight in his typical style at 147/154 an instead fought in the high guard while walking directly to Connor
- Connor landed a lot more (only 26%) mostly (in my opinion) because of Floyd's style, his age and his 2 year inactivity. Floyd did not take those chances against Canelo or Pacq
- Connor outweighed Floyd by about 20-25 lbs
- Connor is in his prime. He cannot fuck wit in prime 147/154 lb boxers. He also couldn't fuck wit an in prime Mayweather
- No, Mayweather could not fuck wit Connor in the MMA.
- Anyone that you hear call Mayweather at 40 years old the best boxer now is an idiot

I rewatched the fight and I give Conor 3 rds because Floyd hardly punched. However in rd 5 it was over, around the 2:21 mark, Conor was looking at the time.

I do wonder if Conor was weighed the day of the fight he did seem a lot bigger.

millions upon millions bruh... i tried to buy the ppv stream just to make sure that I got to see the fight, and it buffered from 1038 until after the fight was well over. I spent over 2 hours on hold to get a refund.. I know they pissed away a ton last night.

Either floyd really lost a step or he went the extra mile to carry McGregor because that's the worst I've seen him look in years. My only explanation if that he felt McGregor could never hit him with anything that he didn't see coming so he didn't care because Floyd just doesn't get hit that much.... and McGregor aint no fucking boxer.. he had the reach advantage but that shouldn't have been enough for him to land that much... but like I said from round 1... Floyd was out there flat-footed and maybe he was just giving McGregor a target so that the fight was "exciting"

Anytime Floyd stands in front of his opponent to fight him he doesn't look as good. Look at the first Maidana fight.

Any rounds he won didn't matter cuz Flohd was going for one thing. A finish. A lot like what Ward did to kovalev

Of course he lost a step. He's FORTY. AND he went the extra mile to KO someone he knew.didnt have the skill to.keep up with him even at that age. He put on a little show for #50 retirement fight that allowed him to get a KO, with the added beauty of having a dance partner who could do what no other guy out there could do- PROMOTE AND PUT ASSES IN SEATS. An African American vs an Irish man. Classic trope. Awesome.

Skip has a point. Floyd got caught with a hard body blow but the ref stepped in and called it a low blow. When I looked back at it tho, it was a legal punch. Floyd was hurt by it.
When people get hit by hard body punches they don't reclver as fast as loud did. The ref broke that up for not too long and when it started back Floyd was fine. Compare that to when kovalev was saying Ward was doing that to him. He was still hurting and got finished. Floyd wasnt even hurt by the low blow (or not ) , he was exaggerating for effect so that the ref would stay on the lookout for it.

Gtfoh. Floyd was never in any danger. Period. He did what he always does. Outlast his opponents and then take em out when they can no longer lift their gloves. He’s a strategist while Conner was playing checkers Mayweather was maneuvering him to put him in check. Chess vs checkers. Undisputed. Y’all hate that huh? What if money went mma blah blah blah. Folks wanted money to lose but all he do is win
