Floyd looked like *****.

[TRTboy]

Nope. Mcgregor's length, awkwardness and skills made Floyd fight that fight.

He knew Conor didnt have the boxing conditioning exp to go last and exploited it. He was getting outboxed on the outside but no shame in that because Conor has very good hands

[Larry the boss]

Yes he was off and looked his age

[mrpain81]

Yes, but the guy is 40 with a two year lay off. We can definitely give him a pass and he is definitely retiring after this one.

He came through, he still has the dog in him but he's just not the same fighter.


Still props to both guys, Conor fought to win but his gas tank was painful.

[Eddy Current]

Badou looked sharp though!

[McNulty]

He needs to retire.

Either Floyd looked like **** or Conor is a pretty good boxer who just ran out of gas

There's two aspects to this. I was calling it from the second round.

Floyd was playing with him, there's no dis*****g that, even though Conor's range and size made it a little difficult for him.
Floyd knew if he fought this fight as he usually does it would have been over in 3 or 4, so he just walked Conor down.

I mean did Floyd throw a left hook in the first 4 rounds? No. It was sparring, for all intents and purposes for him, and fair play to Conor that he made him eat some nice shots while coming on in the early rounds. That counter uppercut off Floyd's lead right I could watch all day, never saw him eat that before. So there's the second aspect - Conor was better than any of us thought. The jab was very good. He was slipping Floyd's punches better than most who've faced him. The counter punches were sharp and accurate. His power obviously is overrated. His stamina was pathetic. He gassed during the 4th round. If he had a full 12 in the tank it could genuinely been a close fight since the ref let Conor tie up a lot and control the fight that way.

It was a show for the fans, for the last fight, and went as Floyd wanted it to.

So, well done to Conor for the showing he gave. He's a novice boxer, in with one of the best ever, he did remarkably well. Definitely could have been a top, top boxer if he'd stayed training for it as a youngster. What other MMA guy would have had the balls or the name to get in a ring with Floyd. He earned that.

And well done to Floyd for hitting 50-0 and making 100 million for basically a sparring session. I mean, he's laughing all the way to the bank tonight and you kind of have to admire it.

I knew Floyd would struggle early but not lose 4 rounds. Either way I knew from the first round that Floyd was going to win late. Conor is not a big puncher in boxing jist like I told everyone. But he's a solid boxer.

It was perfect scenario for Conor.. Against Canelo he would be slept in 4 rounds. And that fight is happening May 2018 100%

Floyd: See you at the bank tomorrow

Conor: You fookin right mate!

[darius45]

i dont think so.. floyd adjust to his opponent.. that was his game plan for this fight..

Exactly, Floyd fights to the level of his opponent. Floyd looked like he was wired when he fought Manny (extremely cautious, defensive minded, reflexes on point, quick movement etc)... He fought Connor like he was fighting some kid who just stepped into the gym and asked to spar him, and Floyd obliged him, letting him get some licks in...
