    To Hype Mayweather/Paul, Showtime Posts FULL Mayweather/McGregor Fight

    Love Robert Byrd basically issuing all warnings to McGregor while Floyd is just going through the motions, ready to carry this guy.

    Crazy that Floyd ate that uppercut as flush as possible and just kept walking forward.

    then Round 9 - as we've seen many times, McGregor made the mistake of pissing Floyd off and got walked down.

          mcgreggor had ZERO power in boxing, ZERO. and he is known as a big puncher in MMA.

          floyd hit far far harder head to head in boxing and he is known as a light puncher at welter and above.

          what did surprise me though was how well and how many of Floyds shots that mcgreggor took.


          it was an odd fight, connor always ending up behind floyds back because he doesnt fight in a straight line like two boxers. hes always moving aroudn the side and chit. Paul only being trained in boxing and at a very low level, will make it much easier for floyd because he will always be lined up in a conventional position and stance and easier for floyd to hit and always in frong of him, not circling around the sides all the time like an MMA fighter.

            McGregor's pure power has always been overrated but at his peak he had amazing timing and precision. His famous quote even says as much; "Precision beats power and timing beats speed"

            He was the best at using angles and setting up fist strikes with kicks. For a pro-boxing debut he wasn't bad he just did not know how to figure out the timing and precision of pure boxing. His boxing is probably better now than it was against Floyd but the irony of that is that has worked against him in MMA now, when he adopted a boxing stance against Dustin Poirier and got his legs demolished in his last fight.
