    And Conor's stamina was used to boxing rounds. This would have been a UD for Conor.

    A novice did that to Floyd. Wow! A guy who never fought in a professional all his life against the best defensive fighter. All those body shots and those head shots from his nice jab are a thing of beauty. Rounds were piling up for Conor, he just gassed out.

    We all expected he won't last, but we never thought he can break through Floyd's defense and make a fool out of Floyd.


    # Props to Conor

    # mad skills

    # a rough diamond not even polished yet

    Amazing circus show! One for the books!

      Like I and many others predicted Floyd carried McGregor for enough rounds to give the fans a show. He then stepped it up and worked McGregor over and stopped him. It was obvious from the first round. I laughed my ass off the whole fight. No disrespect to McGregor but he only did as much as Floyd allowed. Floyd clearly had zero respect for him as a threat and barely bothered with defense knowing he could easily get the stoppage.

        Connor beats spence
        Floyd in away embarrassed boxing for being hit like that for most of the rounds. What saved him was Conor gassing out. Good thing he won it, or boxing would take a huge black eye.

        Conor can hang with the young guns in a 8 round bout, not 12. He doesn't have the boxing stamina. He gassed out.

              It's partly because Floyd carried him. Tonight Mayweather was not his typical safety first self as he was against Manny Pacquiao. He wouldn't in a hundred years, open up and throw punches like that for fear of being countered against Manny. Floyd knew what he was doing. He had an amateur novice fighter in front of him with no boxing experience or pedigree.

                Yeah, Conor can be robbed in a 12 round bout, but what they can't fool is those punches that has been landing all night for Conor. Those wore money shots. If Conor was robbed. What will last is the impression that he broke through Floyd's guard over and over again. Amazing athlete.

                He just keeps on impressing. I say he still can raise his chin up with that performance. He did a lot for a 0-0 fighter.

                  Floyd looks shot to bits to me and still did whatever he wanted with McGregor, it just shows the gulf in class.

                  If this was Mayweather of even 2 years ago, it would have gone even worse for Conor. Floyd wasn't lying with his whole "i'm not even the fighter i was 2 years ago" thing.

                      Those are obvious be-headings though. Can you imagine what somebody like Lemieux even would have done to him tonight when he was stumbling all over the ring like a drunken zombie. Both guys would talk mad **** and it would be a competitive fight at this stage
