Boxing fans are in denial part 2(the sequel)

https://www.boxingscene.com/forums/showthread.php?t=756805 Original thread above. BTW I originally thought this fight was a farce, amazed Connor was 3-1 under dog, and Mayweather was 4-1 FAV, I was disapointed Connor even took on such a ridiculous challenge, even with the money involved....How wrong i was... The boxing community are in denial. I did the original thread to see the hilarious excuses why a 0 and 0 fighter, who didnt even have boxing trainers, let alone boxing sparring, was able to school, outland and hurt Mayweather(Byrd saved Mayweather in round 9). Im a big fan of MMA and boxing. Slight edge to boxing on what i am a bigger fan off. And originally thought this fight was a joke. But boxing lost despite the win, and boxing fans are rallying around to defend the indefensible in over hysterical ways which is a clear sign of Denial of what just happened. What 40 year old Randy couture did to James Toney is what i expected the self prclaimed "best ever" to do to Connor. Play with him, bust him up, knock him down multiple times and brutally KO Connor. I expected Connor to hit air ALL night whilst the the ELITE boxer landed everything. I was amazed that Connor would even get through 6 rounds. Not just my score card, many experts from Showtime, HBO BBC five live and Espn had Connor winning going into his gassed out round. Lets debunk each of the claims from so called Boxing fans over Mayweather Horrific display. 1) Urban Myth one-Mayweather walked him down....Did he Bollox. Mayweather was lost in there. Connor was out jabbing, out slicking Mayweather. Mayweather lost the first 4 rounds because Connor was changing the angles landing. Mayweather tried to throw in round one, missed and got caught with an upper cut. He turned his back 13 times, illegally imo. Dirrell did the same when fighting. Mayweather looked terrible and was being out boxed, he resorted to hoping Connors poor cardio would kick in..Floyd said the best chin is the chin that does not get hit, well he was getting hit alot!!! Urban Myth 2"He 40 years old and 2 years inactive". Rubbish excuse for why he got outboxed. Vlsdimir at 41 fought an even yuonger Prime ELITE heavy weight boxer and took him to hell and back. Vlad was very inactive, and had not fought in almost 2 years. But even if you take the excuse at face value, so what. Connors been inactive in boxing ever since he entered Combat sports. Hes never fought professionally...EVER, Zip Zero. Did not even bother having boxing trainers or coaches, just stuck to MMA spars. This is like Roger Federer losing sets/Games of a Squash player who trained for 12 weeks at Tennis. It would be a disgrace. Urban Myth 3-Mayweather was never hurt. Get out of here, not only are Fighters like Ward;/mayweather literally not allowed to lose on points to anyone(lmao Mayweather was almost winning a shut out according to two of the judges, disgusting), they are also not allowed to get hurt. Mayweather was seriously doing the chicken dance due to a BODY shot in the 9th round. Byrd dived in and saved him. Fact. What Ward did to Kovalaev was illegal. What Connor did to Mayweather were beautiful body shots. Mayweather did the same in round 3/4, where claiming low blows when Connor was hitting great body shots. Urban Myth 4-"Mayweather gives away a few rounds the works you out". That maybe the case, but he didnt do anything of the sort, he lost the first 4 rounds. He never would deliberately do that, especially as hes not a concussive puncher. What he certainly does not do, is get clocked deliberately by Uppers cuts, and stiff checks that rock your neck back. As shown by his chicken dance in the 9th, you do not want to take on Connors power. He was out boxed by a novice, pure and simple. All i can say is thank goodness Connor has Conditioning issues which effects him in both MMA and boxing(see Nate Diaz fights) because with Zero experience he out boxed Floyd Mayweather and at worst was drawing going into the 10th and at best was going to stop Mayweather in the 9th had it not been for "low blow gate"... When the dust settles, Connor should be getting hall of fame status on what he achieved with Zero experience....

Sigh, since you went there.. Floyd went forward and fought like a man on a mission to clean his coward persona of not attacking since he was after all, fighting a novice. No excuse not to be offensive. In the Pac fight, Floyd fought with his tail tucked in between his legs as he hugged and run his was to vaginaville. That's the big difference there. Floyd didn't want to fight, and preferred to run and hug for 12 rounds, as a result his padded compubox still gave him the least output of his career evident for his cowardly tactics. In the COnor foght, he had no choice, he was fighting a novice, he needed to come forward or forever be called a coward, and that is why, in his own demise, got nailed over and over upon entry. Exposing him as someone with poor defensive skill when attacking forward That's the difference: Here is all you need to know what happened to Floyd in the Pac fight from Nacho's mouth: Nacho about Floyd: The kid caved. Over defensive on the most important fight of his life. "He knew he was supported by the judges to give a luck luster fight." "He (floyd) lost so much credibility" "the only one throwing punches was Pacquiao" "how can they gave the rounds to a guy who even looks ridiculous running away scared?" "or giving hugs to turn off the fight?" Documented hugs of Floyd in the Pac fight for here till eternity. Documented The boos in every Floyd Mayweather hug caught in this footage only shows how boxing fans feel in their frustration of what is an example of what not to do in a super fight of this magnitude. Documented fan screaming in the arena @1:15 - "Keep running Floyd. Keep running. You can do it!" http://static5.businessinsider.com/image/5545a1b46da81121733b3aa5/01-27.gif --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- KENNY LOPEZ SHOCKING INTERVIEW! PACQUIAO BEAT MAYWEATHER RE SCORE PEDS USADA NSAC @ 2:32 - Did Pacquiao win this fight? Honestly. Yes! @ 2:34 - I think that the reason a lot of people don't see it that way is because of the commentating. It fooled a lot of people. @2:48 - Mayweather was very good at pot shotting moving out controling the distance, if you take that away and you neutralize it, he looks like his landing catching those shots, but you hear Roy Jones saying he landed, but when you watch it again, he wasn't landing none of those shots. @ 3:30 - I want to make it official, I watched the fight again, and I thought Manny Pacquiao won that fight when I watched it again. Hopefully history perceives things the correct way, which is that one man came to fight, the other came to hug and run, and that there was an obvious difference in work and effort in the ring that night between the two competitors. So you are basically mad because Floyd hugged Pacquiao 20 times? I was rooting for Pacquiao, but I knew what time it was after round 4. Floyd always takes over after round 4. Maybe Maidana is the only one where he didn't. I thought Floyd did a super good showing against Conor, and I also thought Conor did well, but Floyd was a lot smaller and walked through him.

Well Spoon, at least Conor gave Floyd more of a fight than Pacquiao did, we all know that. The rounds that Conor won was nice, Pacquiao only had round 4 that was really a good round. I don't think this was the biggest mismatch in history, nor even close. I think Floyd - Berto is a much bigger mismatch. Floyd Guerrero too. Pacquiao Horn too. I give credit to Floyd for showing even though he was smaller, he was the bigger man in there. Sigh, since you went there..

Dude, he gassed so hard, coz he is not a boxer. Boxer takes years to acclimatize in their chosen sport. Years. Conor had 2 months preparation that is silly as fuvk. It is only obvious he will gas, and you, me and everyone else including Floyd he will gas out. That's why this fight is the biggest mismatch con job in the history of all sports. Everyone who knows boxing didn't give COnor a chance, which was understandable given the amount of time he has to prepare. As we saw first hand why, he has no cardio to compete in a pro fight yet. That's why Floyd taking that long to drop Conor with all that advantages speaks volumes of how talented Conor is.

I thought Conor was exposed, to be honest. Not a hard hitter, not a 12 round fighter, can't handle pressure but I'll give him he is a good boxer for those 3 rounds he can handle. What a shame that he simply can't last. I'm a Conor fan, I hadn't hoped to see him gas that hard. But the pressure was too much. Floyd walked him down completely. Pushed the bigger man around and knocked him out. **** Chris Byrd. Dude, he gassed so hard, coz he is not a boxer. Boxer takes years to acclimatize in their chosen sport. Years.

exactly, Connor lost, but if i performed like that in my professional debut against a elite performer and in this case the self proclaimed "best ever". it was like a Badmington player/Squash player training for 12 weeks at tennis and getting roger Federer to 4/5 set match. The boxing Community have a paradime shift of denial like Flat earth scientists have..and their Hysterical over reaction shows this.. If Connor was "Rubbish" then by golly floyd was horrible fighter and was exposed as a none p4p fighter..which i think could be true as in reality he lost to DLH, Pacquio, Castillio and barely won many other fights...despite having every advantage.. Or Connor was very good and for a guy thats barely laced them up made a "Elite ATG", miss, get hit, rocked and loss many many rounds.. As i say, thank goodness for Connors crap cardio which he has issues with in the UFC as at NO point did he get out boxed... The fact that they neither give Connor Credit for his great skills for a 0 0 fighter or wont accept that Floyd was AWFUL at representing boxing against A Novice spoeaks volumes, because both of those points are MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE... Yeah, some boxing fans create a fake reality to hype their fighters. Floyd fanboys are mostly in awe with his persona and worship him. That's why they come across ass brainwashed clowns lol That said, yeah of Conor was rubbish, floyd's performance was straight up pathetic. It's a good thing Conor's cardio wasn't fit for boxing yet or Floyd could have lost that fight with the way it was turning out. Conor gassed too early. Going into round 5 his mouth was open. He just wasn't ready for this fight.

Yeah all you said are true and exposes what's wrong in boxing. Regarding the excuses boxing fans tell themselves about Floyd allowing himself to get hit. I as a boxing fan first and foremost am cringing with such lame excuse. It's rather tacky, too simple and dumb to think a boxer wants to get hit like that. Floyd was getting hit like a human punching bag for 4 rounds with no answer to Conor's onslaught. Conor kept him at bay in the early rounds, being effective in the range game. Like I said, Conor may be a novice but he accounted himself very well in his debut fight, which to me speaks volumes. Hats off to the man. He gained my respect. exactly, Connor lost, but if i performed like that in my professional debut against a elite performer and in this case the self proclaimed "best ever". it was like a Badmington player/Squash player training for 12 weeks at tennis and getting roger Federer to 4/5 set match.

Bang on...I like the boxing community didnt give Connor a Prayer, i thought he was going to hit air or night whilst taking shots..why, because hes a novice, didnt even bother getting a boxing trainer in for 12 weeks. If Floyd represents the "best ever" then boxing is extremely low standard atm. Have you noticed all of a sudden the excuses are "he let him hit him"..."he was deliberately missing"..."His plan was to get rocked and walk connor down"...."He 40 years old"..."he inactive".. All these excuses were barely even priced in, they factored in, but not priced in. As i say, a non ATG Randy Couture did to James Tony what Floyd should ahve done to Connor..But in reality he was missing, getting rocked and losing the fight going into the 10th on points... This is a nightmare for boxing and the hysterical defensive overeaction by the boxing community knows this... Yeah all you said are true and exposes what's wrong in boxing.

People were expecting a demolition job. What we got was a self proclaimed TBE turning his back 17x, getting clocked over and over, head snapping, body folding, that's not how a master boxer should look. It was painful to watch. Stallone expected Floyd to murder Conor, but instead Conor murdered his defense that has full of holes. Damn!! But these Floyd pom pom girls have come up with their go to excuse when they get stumped. Their default excuse that they have formulated is Floyd is 40 lololololololol Is a 80 year old shaolin master monk, even if he is old as fuvk lose to a novice pupil? Nope. A master doesn't unlearn what he has learned. He grows in wisdom. Getting hit like that, tells me Floyd has bad offensive defense. That's not a master. That's a walking target lmao Bang on...I like the boxing community didnt give Connor a Prayer, i thought he was going to hit air or night whilst taking shots..why, because hes a novice, didnt even bother getting a boxing trainer in for 12 weeks.

So mayweather losing4/5 rounds against a novice taking uppercuts, jabs, vicious body shots is toying with the novice. To represent boxing you take the sole from the guy, kinda lacey v calzzghe, or briggs v vitali. But Mayweather was throwing and missing, ofter getting countered. He looked terrible, be thankful connor has a poor cardio and inexperience..but are added to the in denial list...Toying with someone is that, by making them miss, and hitting them. In tennis it would be beating someone 6 love 6 love., but in your terms of "toying"/taking the piss" would be a three sey match with winning a tie break in the third.. Mayweather was made to look silly, and the boxing community is in denial. Face it and move on... People were expecting a demolition job.

Im amazed post fight at how many boxing fans have no clue about boxing. Mayweather was taking the piss out of Mcgreggor really. Outweighed by 20lbs and walking him down after 2 year layoff at 40 years old. McG got f*cked up. He wasnt a particularly good boxer, he gassed badly after 3 slow paced rounds. His form was not good, he couldnt generate any leverage on his famous left hand. His chin was wide open, his head never moved. Liam Williams is British champ at 154 and i think he beats the crap out of McG So mayweather losing4/5 rounds against a novice taking uppercuts, jabs, vicious body shots is toying with the novice.

Im not a floyd fan but you obviously dont know what you were watching with these ludicrous statements. Btw it was a low blow https://thumbs.gfycat.com/SeriousInbornBassethound-size_restricted.gif and even if it woulda been legal conor is the one who then proceeded to hold and get behind mayweather right after he had him in the corner which made the ref break and seperate them. The people saying he was hurt in the 9th round ate either Skip Bayless, MMA fans who are salty, or white people who are salty. Maybe all 3.

This thread is a masterpiece of truth. I'll break down what you said in simple terms so that this lads will get your deep articulate thoughts. A master should never get hit by a mere student who is just learning a sport. Think of a kungfu master or even an old drunk drunken master, a pupil who is just learning the art of fighting shouldnt even be able to touch or more so hurt a kungfu master. But that's what happened. A master got toyed by a novice boxer. Not once but in seversl.rounds. Seeing a supposed master getting hit like that was painful to watch. Max Kellerman said it best before the fight, Conor won't land a single punch on Floyd, and yet with all our expectation that the master wont get touched. He not only.got touched he got humiliated and lost the first 4 rounds in embarrassing head snapping fashion. An old kungfu master or a 70 year old shaolin monk wont get touched by a novicd pupil, thats what is expexted of floyd. But w end have learned he is not ehat he seemed to be. Randy was a 40 year old that took Toney's head in secinds. Thats not even someone who acknowledges he is the best of his sport and he still did that to Toney. We expected Floyd to take Conor's head in great fashion. What we got was mediocrity.oh well, at least He beat Conor. It could have been much worse if conor survived 12. Floyd needs to hang it up. He's done at the elite level. SPOON23 STATS 200 MOST RECENT POST: About Mayweather/Conor. = 200 About GGG/Canelo. = 0
