Just caught a youtube recording of the fight that stayed up long enough for me to watch. The difference is that Pacquiao actually posed a danger so he fought on the back foot. Obviously from what he felt from McGregor's power in the first couple of rounds he realised that he couldn't really hurt him so he started to walk him down in pursuit of a KO. I'll give McGregor some credit, he actually had a good jab and some decent skills. Honestly the fight was basically an inverted version of what I thought it would be, with Floyd the aggressor and Connor looking to box and counter.

Because Floyd didn't respect Conor's power at all, walked right through his punches. McGregor's vaunted punching power was vastly overstated and 8oz gloves didn't help at allComment

What landslide, you mean 12-0 lol. Most people scored it 8-4/7-5. Pacquiao was actually the one landing the best punch in that fight. You prob lost so much money in that fight. Lol
I know you are not Pac hater but you act like Floyd schooled Pac. Floyd won the fight because Pac didnt do enough to win the fight. And he couldnt pull the trigger anymore compare to his prime.Comment

Not trying to hate on manny but he got schooled in my view.. manny had success when he let his hands go, but he was so slow paced like he was in Marquez 3
Literally, Conor was more competitiveComment

Last time i check both fighters underperformed. So how the heck Floyd schooled Pac. Floyd best punch was his jabs and didnt even put significant mark on Pacquaios face.
Oh well its your opinion, Im not gonna debate on it, this could go on forever because we disagree on each other.Comment

I thought it was painfully obvious that the way Floyd fought McGregor was in a way he wouldn't even attempt to fight a boxer. He recognised the arm punches and was happy to get hit.
We should all appreciate that Floyd wouldnt dare walk down Pac like that.Comment

You telling me Floyd's little Oscar performance tonight actually fooled real boxing fans??
I was standing in a crowd full of people who have rarely seen a boxing match and nobody took the bait.
That fight was a three dollar bill. I'm amazed at the ******ism on display here..Comment

Floyd never managed to hurt or trouble the smaller Pacquiao..... meanwhile he beat up, wobbled and eventually stopped McGregor.
Floyd was clearly a shadow of himself tonight but fortunately even his shadow was enough to finish McGregor and win me some $.Comment
