    I guess This guy is an idiot for taking a fight in a short notice and taking all this money aye..

    A guy went 12 rounds for the very first time, and you guys can't even see where he fuvked up.

    Conor lost due to a small gas tank.


    Here as I have been saying.

    Straight from the horses mouth. A confession of fatigue.

    From Conor's own mouth.

    Yes, Conor it was fatigue.

    You weren't ready for a 12 rounder.

    Start @ 1:00 Conor: 'It was just fatigue'

    @ 2:30 Conor: 'I don't think it was skill there. In another time I'll beat him.'

    @ 2:48 Conor: 'It's an adjustment to go 12 rounds. You know what I mean from changing from 5 to 12. 5 rounds to 12 is a lot so whatever'

      He's a professional athlete who can do 25 minutes, but not 36? He is used to getting punched and kicked, but couldn't handle punches from an old man?
      Imagine if a professional basketball player didn't have enough stamina to do a handball game with several months of preparation?
      He would get laughed at.

        wow just because he can do that, means he can easily adjust to a different sport with that short notice. The guy was debuting in a boxing ring for crying out loud.

        It's like ping pong going to tennis. You think Ping pong stamina is the same as a tennis player? It's a different realm. In any sport it takes time to craft the discipline to perform. You have to respect the time an athlete puts in their chosen sport. Conor had no time to acclimatize to boxing with that short time.

        There is adjustments to be made. Conor had to acclimatize, he didn't had the time to do so.

        Aren't boxers who starts learning boxing starts fighting with fewer rounds and gradually got to 12 rounders. Building stamina in a boxing ring takes time and experience. Which Conor had no luxury of having with that short notice. I can't blame him for taking that fight for all the money in the world. But he held his own, if you can't see that. It's you who can't see like what the commentators like Al Bernstein has seen. Conor has a great jab etc etc. He held his own there.

          If mcgregor had boxing stamina he would have won.

            He was in against a 40 year old way past his prime.

              Conor was in the realm of the king of the house. Even @ 40. That was the big dog of the house.

              The 7 dan Grand master of the house.

              Conor was a white belter fighting a 7 dan black belter. That has to be something. If you can't get credit for credit is due. Something is wrong with you. You could at least acknowledge what he just did as what this thread is all about.

              A white belter with short notice of the sport of boxing did that to Floyd.

              Gotta give him credit.
              1. He had the balls to go against mayweather in his first boxing match.
              2. He switch and focus all his attention into a foreign sport compared to his own.
              3. He lasted all the way to 10 rounds.

                  But didn't Floyd have short notice as well? So he came off retirement on short notice?

                    Honda Monkey doesn't get it. Let it be.

                    I can put it plainly.

                    I'm a fan of boxing first and foremost, and I am surprised what Conor did in that ring. Conor Macgregor has earned my respect. His confidence in the beginning and his humbleness in the end amazes me. Great fight no matter the outcome. I'm a huge boxing fan and wanted Floyd to win. But I will cheer for Conor because he went to the boxing space, got beat, showed class, and is on to the next. Much Respect for what he did. Root for excellence of the pros and cons of the fight not mediocrity. I appreciated what Conor has done. He has accomplished above and beyond what was expected of him in the boxing community.

                    Like I said.

                    Hats off to Conor.

                      Wtf?

                      The guy is a seasoned vet who knew his sport since he was a child. It's called muscle memory and knowledge over a chosen sport as a mastery. Dude what's wrong with you?

                      Give props to the man he did more than was expected of him. A white belter did that to Floyd. You just have to live with that fact.
