If this was a 8 round contest.
And Conor's stamina was used to boxing rounds. This would have been a UD for Conor.
A novice boxer with 0-0 record, did that to Floyd. Wow! A guy who never fought in a professional bout all his life against the best defensive fighter. All those body shots and those head shots from his nice jab are a thing of beauty. Rounds were piling up for Conor, he just gassed out.
We all expected he won't last, but we never thought he can break through Floyd's defense and make a fool out of Floyd.

From Conor's own mouth.
Yes, Conor it was fatigue.
You weren't ready for a 12 rounder.
Start @ 1:00 Conor: 'It was just fatigue'
@ 2:30 Conor: 'I don't think it was skill there. In another time I'll beat him.'
@ 2:48 Conor: 'It's an adjustment to go 12 rounds. You know what I mean from changing from 5 to 12. 5 rounds to 12 is a lot so whatever'
The boxing experts said conor wouldnt land a punch, wouldn't win a round, now that he did they are saying Floyd let him....boxing fans have some sort of superiority complex, they always gotta feel as though they know everything and they're right about everything
Conor impressed me . I haven't watched it back yet. He had good speed. But if I remember right he kept moving to same direction, and the big thing that made him lose is he gassed. He came to win. His team came to win. He was throwing arm punches but thats what made him land. Moretti was actually fair. The other two judges only managed to give conor the first round. Floyd hardly threw in some rounds so I find that hard to believe that conor only won one round .
Exactly! A novice mistake by a novice inexperienced boxer. But If, Conor's stamina was in Par with Floyd. This fight could have been a barn burner. Imagine that. An 0-0 fighter gave Floyd all he can handle.
# impressive
Boxing lost.
Floyd is supposed to be boxing's finest. Connor was equal to floyd until his stamina went.
Boxing is supposed to be holy grail?
What we learnt is condifioning is what's great about boxers. Not skill.
Floyd's skill didn't impress Connor. Floyd's been there, done that, bought t sshirt but didn't look like 20 years experience between them
This was the most shocking to see. Skill vs skill, that night, it was pretty close, only difference was stamina which was the only thing that saved Floyd from further embarrassment. A novice was in there against a supposed elite.
Crazy things happen in the world. This was one of those times.
Andre ward says it best.
http://www.boxingscene.com/andre-ward-expected-more-from-mayweather-showed-his-age--119931
“I expected a lot less from McGregor and I expected a little bit more from Floyd Mayweather. I think Floyd showed his age a little bit. He’s still got a lot left in the tank, but when you start seeing yourself getting hit with punches you typically won’t get hit with, especially against a guy with no experience, and you’re not offensively getting off and throwing like you should be - it’s time to hang it up. It’s not that you don’t have it, but you want to leave before you don’t have it anymore," Ward said.
ANDRE WARD TO FLOYD: IT'S TIME TO HANG UP
Here is another one.
I normally don't agree with Amir Khan, but he also says. Conor lost coz of fatigue.
# Not a good look for Floyd
Floyd certainly needs to retire. He Isn't half of what he once was and he knows It. If that would have been Crawford or Spence across from him last Saturday night, Floyd would be 49-1 right now.
Yes, he definitely needs to retire for good this time around. That performance was in the realm of bewilderment of how easy he got hit. It was shocking to see Floyd get hit like that.
It's just wrong in all levels to continue on with that performance. It is really time to hang up. He's done. I don't want to Floyd expose himself some more.

why do you keep putting a space after the #
Because, I actually just want it used as a bullet point and not a real hashtag phrase.
That said, when were you guys ever concerned if a boxer punches hard?
All Floyd did in most of his career was to collect points with his weak pitter patter shots as he ran and jab his way to victory. Now Conor comes in the picture throws jabs and body punches, that your kind just calls weak punches. Why would that even matter to you guys when Floyd has been throwing pitter patter shots all his life. That still was still landing. In Floyd's world that was money depsosited lol
To you guys, It's about out pointing, out hussling your opponent right? And hurting an opponent isn't a priority in Floyd's world. What changed this point of view?
This has always been the hurt business, but seeing you guys complain about Conor weak punches. Makes me grin in laughter hehe Don't you guys see how ironic that is. Floyd's way is not to kill or be a fighter all his boxing career he was there to land and outscore his opponent, through pitty patter shots in hope of collecting points to coast to a 12 round borefest all day every day. Now Conor who to you guys are doing the same thing in the rinf, when he was out jabbing and out pointing Floyd in the early rounds is not the same, since it's weak?
Haven't you folks realized, connecting clean and effective punches is the name of the game? Seeing Floyd's bubble snap back, seeing Conor's hooks landing in the body, uppercuts snapping FLoyd's head are a thing of beauty.
That said, guys be consistent. Conor's punches were amateurish, Yes, coz he is a novice afterall, but it was as clean as any boxer that lands, and did hurt Floyd a couple of times.
Floyd even had to lick his wounds and rally back in. :boxing:
Oh the Irony!! hahahaha!!

And Floyd had some wounds to lick, shiners sticking out like a sour thumb by the top of the brow, and they say he just came out of a spa lolololol
This dudes last heist is done.
Yeah, Conor can be robbed in a 12 round bout, but what they can't fool is those punches that has been landing all night for Conor. Those wore money shots. If Conor was robbed. What will last is the impression that he broke through Floyd's guard over and over again. Amazing athlete.
He just keeps on impressing. I say he still can raise his chin up with that performance. He did a lot for a 0-0 fighter.

No he boxes horribly but it was a circus show to me. You cant fix that at his age. He looked as goofy or clumsy as Tyson Fury (he was a unified champion). Fuk this, i think I'll take a break.
Floyd certainly needs to retire. He Isn't half of what he once was and he knows It. If that would have been Crawford or Spence across from him last Saturday night, Floyd would be 49-1 right now.
Yeah, I don't see Floyd surviving against Crawford and Spence. He definitely needs to retire.
That was a sloppy joe performance showing his decline. Letting a novice do that to him is cringe worthy.
It's really time to hang it up.

They are crooks and always have been, that Is something that will never change. Mcgregor certainly deserves respect and did much better than anyone was giving him credit for. At 29 years old, It Is to late for Mcgregor to make the transition Into boxing permanently, IMO and I am not sure he would want to. If he would have had a few years under his belt he would have had a legitimate chance with this version of Floyd. I just don't see him being able to compete at 154 with anyone really. As you mentioned above, he needs serious help with his stamina and punching technique. He has a decent jab, but has no Idea how to leverage his punches so that they have any kind of Impact.

# Not a good look for Floyd
it's hard to understand what you say because you're a completely salty, biased, uneducated source of information...
In reality, it was a cake walk...Floyd was realistically winning the fight 6-3 at the time it was stopped...5-4 if you're feeling sorry for Conor...he wasn't hurt or wobbled by any of those early shots...
Floyd is a notoriously slow starter...he takes his time to feel out his opponent, and make adjustments...he very often gives away early rounds...you should know this...
You seem stuck on the idea of Conor connecting more than Floyd in the first 4 rounds...and that automatically means he won the rounds...thats an incorrect and obnoxiously flawed argument...but I'll play your game...
According to compubox, the punches landed through 4 were (May/Mac)
2/9...5/8...5/9...16/16...
So that puts, like I've said a 3-0 lead for McGregor because neither fighter was doing jack **** in terms of really landing, but McGregor was much busier...
Round 4 is even in total...but Mayweather was not only twice as accurate with his punches(52% vs 25%) but also landed 5 more power punches in round 4...using your own logic...I score that for Mayweather...
The rest of the fight? Let's have a look...but it's not pretty for your argument...
5. 12/9
6. 27/19
7. 21/12
8. 20/15
9. 42/10 (!!) This could be a 2pt round based on your logic
10. 20/4
Yes, Conor fought VERY well for someone making their debut in boxing, but it's not like he's never been in a fight before, and he prides himself on his striking skills in the octagon...
As for how he gassed out, of course as you say, if you know boxing, you know throwing punches drains energy...however, if you actually knew boxing, you would never disregard the effect that being walked down, and constantly pressured has on a fighter...or the amount of energy he expended basically running away from Floyd in the second half of the fight...
See above...you don't know what you're talking about...
I've been giving props to McGregor through this whole discussion...yes Floyd is an old man, yes he has slowed down, yes he took punches...but he also fought a completely different style of fight than we've seen him fight in a really, really long time...it's a simple fact that if you're going to continually walk forward towards someone you are going to be hit with more shots, it's unavoidable..
It's not really a knock on Floyd, it's a simple matter of biology...he's older, and hasn't fought in 2+ years
Yes, he did...and I've never said he didnt
Don't waste your time with the videos...they won't prove anything, we all saw the fight lol
To answer your points:
1. If you've been reading what I've been saying. Conor wasn't ready for a 12 rounder.
Thus, he lost. A novice has no business in a 12 round fight, more so, with an elite fighter like Floyd.
That said, if it was an 8 rounder. Then we had a close fight. That Conor could have won. Knowing Conor gassed out due to his own fatigue, not Floyd's doing. He just ran out of gas, and punched himself out.
Round 1 10-9 McG
Round 2 10-9 McG
Round 3 10-9 McG
Round 4 10-9 McG
Round 5 10-9 May
Round 6 10-10 draw
Round 7 10-9 May
Round 8 10-9 McG
That's a clear 5 rounds to 3 for Conor.
That said, all I'm saying in this thread. Is give props to where credit is due. A novice fighter who debuted in a boxing ring did all that. No one expected Conor to do all that. Max even said he can't touch Floyd. But Conor did and then some. Got to give him respect for hanging in there, and not just hanging in there, He gave Floyd a hard time. That's as raw a talent as it gets.
2. Floyd pressured Connor in the later rounds?
Yeah sure he did, but that's what boxing is all about trading punches. and pressuring oyur opponent.That was expected of Floyd, but what you don't get is Conor just ran out of gas. His gas just went empty. His mouth was open in the 6th round. And Conor was winning at that point. It has nothing to do with Floyd pressuring him. He was winning going into 6. He just ran out of gas. And that's when Floyd knew he only had to turn it on. Conor was a parked car with no fuel left. Easy pickin'
3. I don't know what I'm talking about? It takes years and years to master a sport. Conor only had a few months to learn a different sport. Respect all disciplines. Conor had a few time to learn. That in itself to accomplish all that for a short span of time is amazing in itself.
What Conor was lacking was stamina to compete in a 12 rounder. What is finally proved is the technique and conditioning levels you get to when learning to box for 14 - 15 years before turning pro. We don't need to compare MMA to boxing (as it is different, tough and rougher in its own way) but what we saw is the evolution of boxing punching /conditioning is levels above the necessarily compromised artform called MMA.
Like I said my thread has brought out that Conor wasn't ready for a 12 rounder. he just ran out of gas. All Floyd had to do is pick him appart as Conor was running on fumes.
Did Floyd do that to Conor? NO, COnor did that to himself. Conor was landing more shots than Floyd going into the mid rounds. Floyd only lstarted landing significant punches although few, in the mid rounds, not enough to hurt Conor. What hurt Conor was his own fatigue, he couldn't go on, lack of conditioning. Floyd smelled blood, and that was the end.
Conor's own thoughts of what happened.
Starts @ 1:00 Conor: 'It was just fatigue'
@ 2:48 Conor: 'It's an adjustment to go 12 rounds. You know what I mean from changing from 5 to 12 rounders. 5 rounds to 12 is a lot so whatever'
4. Good to know you kind a acknowledged what Conor has done. He did more than expected of him in the boxing community.
As I quote you:
I've been giving props to McGregor through this whole discussion...yes Floyd is an old man, yes he has slowed down, yes he took punches...but he also fought a completely different style of fight than we've seen him fight in a really, really long time...it's a simple fact that if you're going to continually walk forward towards someone you are going to be hit with more shots, it's unavoidable..
It's not really a knock on Floyd, it's a simple matter of biology...he's older, and hasn't fought in 2+ years
Yes, he did...and I've never said he didnt

Boxing lost.
Floyd is supposed to be boxing's finest. Connor was equal to floyd until his stamina went out.
Boxing is supposed to be holy grail?
What we learnt is condifioning is what's great about boxers. Not skill.
Floyd's skill didn't impress Connor. Floyd's been there, done that, bought t sshirt but didn't look like 20 years experience between them
Conor was in the fight and cruising actually, but when I see his mouth open in the 6th after all the shots he landed. He punched himself out. Conditioning won the fight for Floyd, not skill, He had to only wait for Conor to gas out and wait for the kill. Like a lion who saw a vulnerable gazelle. BUt that said if both had equal stamina. Conor could have won it.
Conor was connecting good throughout the fight until he gassed out. On the 6th his jaw was hanging, not from Floyd hitting him, coz there few and weak, more from fatigue and exhaustion from all the punches he threw that landed on Floyd's head and body.
A novice mistake by a novice boxer. Still he can stand tall. Conor held his own and gave Floyd all he can handle. That speaks volumes for someone who was just debuting as a boxer competing at the highest level of boxing and he did that to Floyd. That was embarrassing to see Floyd getting turned into a target practice in the early rounds as his head snapped back like a pinata over and over from Conor's stiff jabs.

completely salty, biased, uneducated source of information...
Welcome to NSB, where boxers are just an outlet for frustrated people to vent.
Have you seen how many responses start with an insult, Lol.
hehe..
I guess This guy is an idiot for taking a fight in a short notice and taking all this money aye..
A guy went 12 rounds for the very first time, and you guys can't even see where he fuvked up.
Conor lost due to a small gas tank.
Here as I have been saying.
Straight from the horses mouth. A confession of fatigue.
From Conor's own mouth.
Yes, Conor it was fatigue.
You weren't ready for a 12 rounder.
Start @ 1:00 Conor: 'It was just fatigue'
@ 2:30 Conor: 'I don't think it was skill there. In another time I'll beat him.'
@ 2:48 Conor: 'It's an adjustment to go 12 rounds. You know what I mean from changing from 5 to 12. 5 rounds to 12 is a lot so whatever'
Well I guess if the leprechaun says it then it must be true, huh?
He had three rounds to unload with Floyd doing nothing but standing with his hands up or back against the ropes and couldn't do ****. Instead he got finished by an undersized, feather-fisted, semi-retired pensioner he outweighed by 20 pounds who hadn't ko'd someone properly since '07 LOLOL
I thought this fight was a joke and people are still trying to legitimize it.
People bringing up that Connor landed more punches on Floyd than anyone except Canelo.
Not taking into context that Floyd realised that most of his other opponents could hurt him if he was reckless and that he figured out Connor couldn't after that uppercut in the first round.
Also this was the most aggressive Floyd had been in a decade.
Also disregarding that Floyd looked extremely sloppy and had no intention of slipping or using the shell.
Sorry just needed to rant...continue
lol
I've said what I have to, you can't understand what I said, and even what Andre Ward said as well it's hard to understand what you say because you're a completely salty, biased, uneducated source of information...
I'll keep it simple. Floyd didn't perform as well as to be expected of him from someone who was expected to win a cake walk against a novice. He was talking hits over a white belter, and if you can't see those 4 straight rounds has a strong case Conor took it, then you just have to wait for the breakdown. Video evidence will see who connected more for the first 4
In reality, it was a cake walk...Floyd was realistically winning the fight 6-3 at the time it was stopped...5-4 if you're feeling sorry for Conor...he wasn't hurt or wobbled by any of those early shots...
Floyd is a notoriously slow starter...he takes his time to feel out his opponent, and make adjustments...he very often gives away early rounds...you should know this...

10. 20/4
Conor made a strong account of himself, you want to believe, it's Floyd who burned him out and fatigued him from all that fighting that happen. If you know boxing the best way to spend energy is not the walking or going around the ring, it's the punches you throw that tires you. Conor, was a novice burned himself up from all those punches he threw and connected I might add. As a result, he gassed out. Floyd wasn't hitting much significant punches in the early rounds.
Yes, Conor fought VERY well for someone making their debut in boxing, but it's not like he's never been in a fight before, and he prides himself on his striking skills in the octagon...

Should I give props to Floyd for predicting he will gas?
If you are a seasoned vet, and you know your sport. Even I know that much water hydration Conor took will as he ballooned will take a toll in the later rounds, not to mention, knowing he was not used to a 12 rounder. Conor fatigued from all that fighting yes, but Floyd didn't do shyit. Conor just punch himself out after the early rounds, and from 6 round his mouth was open. Was it because of Floyd who made that happen? No, Conor gassed out from his own demise. He was not fit to go 12. He just gassed. And as I've said a Lamborghini without gas is an excotic car that can't drive. Conor was an easy target as he ran out of fuel. NO stamina = easy pickin' for Floyd.
See above...you don't know what you're talking about...
That said, as Andre Ward mentioned. Floyd took hits he shouldn't be getting versus a novice. That is a knock on Floyd. And partly, Conor did some of the work why Floyd got hit like that? Like I said, Conor, a novice boxer, connected more than you expect from a novice, and even made Floyd look stupid in the ring. Give props to where credit is due.
I've been giving props to McGregor through this whole discussion...yes Floyd is an old man, yes he has slowed down, yes he took punches...but he also fought a completely different style of fight than we've seen him fight in a really, really long time...it's a simple fact that if you're going to continually walk forward towards someone you are going to be hit with more shots, it's unavoidable..
It's not really a knock on Floyd, it's a simple matter of biology...he's older, and hasn't fought in 2+ years
Even Andre Ward recognizes Conor's work. Conor went above and beyond boxing fans, boxer's expectations.
Yes, he did...and I've never said he didnt
And yes there is an argument to be made Conor won 4 straight rounds. I'll be back with videos to show it.
Don't waste your time with the videos...they won't prove anything, we all saw the fight lol
Even Andre Ward recognizes Conor's work. Conor went above and beyond boxing fans, boxer's expectations.
I am sure he loved that dick punch. Ward couldn't have done it better.
