HUGE RESPECT, you know I have huge praise and high regard for you brother. You are one of the best and most knowledgable posters on this site so reading this from you means a lot.
They knew what was happening and took floyd out of there as soon as they had the chance.
PLease get his dick out your mouth there's minors on this site!
This is why boxing is dying. Robberies like a mothaphucker. This has to be one of the biggest robberies of all time.
Conor was ahead on all cards and they knew it. Disgusted by this. I'm glad real boxing fans like yourself know what's up. Respect.
Lol!!!!!!!!!!!
Why did the 175 lb Irish Gorilla back peddle and run lol.
Because he was being walkedthrough by a 20lbs smaller, old, shorter, brittle handed floyd. Yes, I know it's humilliating, but man, it's not my fault.

Floyd has been my 2nd fave fighter after RJJ for over a decade and even I admit that punch was good and it hurt Floyd. Contrary to what people are saying though, it was neither the ref or Floyd who played Conor here, it was Conor himself for grabbing Floyd in some weird way that I don't even understand why he did that after hurting him.

I'm going to educate you guys on boxing and the human body. The pain a low blow causes can range from a short sting to completely debilitating you.
This is how you know it wasn't a legal body shot. If you get hit with a body shot that makes you fold in half, you're not making a full recovery in 5 seconds I don't care how in shape you are.
Based on Mayweather's reaction, that was a low blow that resulted in a short sting. If a body shot were to cause that reaction, it would have showed throughout the round. He would not have been able to press McGregor and would've laid off for the rest of the fight.
It was a good punch, and yes Floyd was hurt and was trying to play it like a low blow, but it was on the belt. Idk what the hell Conor did in the follow up grabbing him.
Uh because McGregor hopped on Floyd in some attempt to piggyback him or something. You know like in every fight, if you hold or grab your opponent, the ref breaks it up.
You're right. I just got that. He did not stop it because it was a low blow but because Conor sort of tried to hop on top of him, looks like Conor just didn't know what to do. Or instinctually went for an MMA move.

I know GGG is a troll (a good one), but....
Why did the ref stop the action?? I am confused. Body shot, floyd calls for TO?
Thats Floyd hurt

Cotto landed way more punches on Kamegai than Floyd landed on Conor, but the ref never jumped in??
Byrd was bought by Floyd and he waited for the perfect moment for a British-ref style early stoppage.
When Floyd landed a few good shots, he quickly stopped the fight.
Byrd was...okay. He was annoying as sh1t reading out a f*cking essay of instructions and only looking at Conor before the opening bell - just a bit over the top I thought, showing his bias on a megaphone. And then I thought he should've let Conor go down personally. Conor was so gassed that I can't really dispute the stoppage.
This shot in the video and that entire sequence was weird, Floyd was hurt and then Idk wtf happened, he just dipped down and Conor laid on top of him. Action should not have been stopped for a borderline "low blow." Boxing has some of the worst refs, just old farts being old farts that don't see enough of the action to properly judge what's happening.
Like Pac would've been good with Byrd, vs Horn (or Algieri) - he would've stopped the illegal sh1t (well maybe half of it) and then stopped the fight at the 9th. But again that's the issue, there's no standard for damage absorbed = fight stoppage. It's subjective to a fault.
