I see it on social media, ESPN, everyone is talking about this fight. My coworkers are talking about this fight and they don't care about boxing or MMA. My brother's talking about this fight and he doesn't even like boxing or MMA.
It's selling. It shouldn't be selling, but it's selling.
All hype, but hype sells.

I will be shocked if May goes all out for a KO.
Last time I seen him "try" for a KO was against Cotto for about 30 seconds max after he wobbled him. Then for maybe a minute max against JMM when he sensed he was tired. Both times the KO didnt happen he went back to boxing, gave up real easy on it.

Wrong it's different hitting an MMA opponent that's worried about more than punches and don't know how to roll or adjust to punches to the head. He has MMA punching power not elite boxing punching power. Floyd's fought at least 5 boxers in his last 10 fights with better power. I got a prime Ricky Hatton beating Connor from pillar to post at 154.

It's the curse of social media. We as boxing fans know reality because we commune HERE instead of Twitter and Fakebook.

You have nothing to base this on other than MMA. In 4oz gloves. With opponents leaving their chins hanging in the air.
This is boxing. These people do nothing but punch.
Mosley, Cotto, De La Hoya, Canelo, all hit much harder than Conor.
Damn even Paulie said his power is just above average. He ate that straight left like it was nothing too. Nice punch, and obviously the best shot Conor landed in the whole 12 rounds, but did it wobble him? Nooo.
