Comments Thread For: Floyd Mayweather Stops Conor McGregor in The Tenth

[TaurusJ27]

Conor's jab looked pretty good

[Brassangel]

To the idiots claiming that fatigue, not Mayweather, did Conor in: you realize that fatigue was caused by Mayweather, right? He did something Conor hadn't seen before: stalked him down. Stalked him, stalked him, stalked him. He didn't let Conor get the separation he wanted for his longer punches and counter punches, made him miss, and basically didn't have to throw for 3 rounds. From round 4 on, Mayweather found the body and the straight right hand, and basically gave him a merciful TKO by the end.

Despite being smaller, older, two years away and carrying those brittle hands, literally EVERY punch Mayweather landed snapped Conor's head back. Early or late, his punches did a whole lot more than Conor's did.

We heard it all from the know-nothing casuals and MMA die-hards alike about how Floyd wouldn't be able to hurt the bigger guy who's accustomed to taking shin bones to the face. Yet every punch Floyd landed snapped Conor's ****** potato head backwards. Once Floyd turned up the pressure, Conor was out on his feet. He landed 23 of 25 to a gassed McGregor - who threw nothing back in over a minute - and thus the ref stopped it.

McGregor didn't outbox Mayweather, because Mayweather was always in control of the pace of the fight. He wanted to stalk him early and gas him. Not because it's a weak or easy strategy, but because it's not something an MMA fighter is used to seeing. They can usually just grapple a guy to avoid being stalked. Furthermore, if it were the easy way out, McGregor should have done something about it to win but he couldn't.

McGregor was outclassed all the way, but that was expected. In the eyes of the neanderthal sports fans, it was going to be a lose-lose for boxing. If Mayweather wins, he was supposed to. If McGregor wins, boxing is a joke.

It was clear from his smiles and posture early on that Floyd didn't take this fight too seriously. He just held his hands up and walked the bigger guy down. Nothing Conor threw had any sting; for all the talk of how hard he punches, he did NOTHING to Floyd (who in turn mashed up the potato's face).

P.S. As to the stoppage: Unlike MMA, boxing has a 200+ year history to justify stopping fights at that juncture. One punch too late is always worse than one punch too soon.

Lmaaaaooooooo!!!

Floyd clearly lost the first 3, dude. Wtf?!

lol yeah one judge gave McGregor the first three

The other two only gave McGregor the first

I mean thought the next two were more competitive but I had McGregor still for both

Any chance of McGregor sticking around? Sounds like he could probably build a modest boxing career if he took the time to do some 4-6 rounders first and build up his stamina.

Al Haymon Is The Devil!

PROOF WAS SHOWN TONIGHT WHEN SHOWTIME FOLLOWED MAYWEATHER TO THE LOCKER ROOM!

Haymon was in the dark corner, hugged mayweather like someone who owed him money money, and then BOOM the camera turns away for a split second when it turned back Haymon has DISAPPEARED

lmaooooo

Al Haymon runs with the shadows.

I think the only way Conor could potentially address the stamina issue is to stop cutting so much weight. But then he's looking at fighting at middleweight or super middleweight.

I don't think he wants any of those weight divisions if he wants to keep his health and enjoy the money he made tonight.

When McGregor gassed Floyd started improving, he looked like **** for many more rounds than he should have(that being said McGregor's cardio is ****ing embarrassing). He also got hurt to the body by McGregor when Byrd pulled them apart for no reason. Overall for a man who likes to call himself TBE he looked like anything but. A shallow victory for boxing and deep down everyone here knows this.

It's called a low blow sonny. Get a pair of eyes, and a brain while you're at it.

Floyd ****ing carried this sparring match for 10 rounds.

And the Oscar goes too....

[Sledgeweather17]

typical turdweather snoozefest, he turned his back what 15 times and nothing was done? ref was 100 percent on his side.

Listening to biased commentary instead of using your eyes I see.

Floyd never turned his back even once!

Floyd stays facing the direction he was facing when the fighters began exchanging, it's the opponent that clinches his waist and then moves around him, think that they'll nail Floyd when he tries to wriggle free or turn around.

Instead Floyd stays in his position and covers his head. Then the commentators claim he turned his back even though you can clearly see he never even turned, he just stayed in his position and covered up.

Rewatch it and see for yourself.

See my point is you can come foward with speed and quickness.

Floyds legs and hand speed looked very much like Benard Hopkins tonight.

I think its a bad look that Mcgregor did as well as he did.
But nobody beats father time, I just wish Mayweather was able to admit father time instead of the excuse that it was the game plan.

People interpret fights how they want to see it, I don't think McGregor did well at all I think Floyd played with him at will and the class difference was very apparent as we all knew it would be.

Conor was blowing out of his arse from round 4 onwards and Floyd looked to be cruising in 2nd gear all night and if he upped the levels would have taken him out earlier...easy work..hopefully now the McGregor fanboys can stfu and realise that their boy can't really punch at all in boxing terms.

Also it looked so apparent Conor was there for his huge payday imo he looked like he was ready to quit.
