Irony is completely lost on NSB.

Some Floyd fans have now become GGG fans.

It's the same guys that were clowning GGG fans (and rightly so) for saying he "lets fighters hit him to make it a drama show". This would usually be followed with "face-first brawler", "no skill", "it's about hit and don't get hit" etc etc.

Now lots of those guys are saying he was letting Conor hit him flush, like the left uppercut he walked onto?

Newsflash; no top level fighter lets other guys hit him for a laugh.

Not even Rios, and that guy is a functioning ******.

i normally find this poster weird but he is spot on here lol

Basically yes, Floyd was letting Conor hit him.
Floyd fought in a way you never seen in his last 20 years, and he did that on purpose.
He could have fought a "safety first" boring fight like he did in the last 7-8 years, but since he was pretty confident to be superior to anything Conor could bring to the table, he made the fight a little bit more enjoyable for those who don't want to be bored.

Hahaha its ****ing hilarious. No fighter at that level would let there opponent hit them on purpose or carry them because they want the fans to be entertained.

He did that because he knew Conor didnt have boxing stamina and it wasnt going to be easy outboxing Conor on the outside.

Floyd been doing this for over 2 decades he knew theres no way a newbie will have 12 round stamina. If you think Floyd let Conor hit him on purpose you are ******.

Floyd definitely didn't let Conor hit him on purpose. Floyd clearly lost a step and Conor fought to win, not cruise to a UD loss like Manny and canelo. Conor has long arms as well so Floyd had to take time to adapt and in doing so left himself open . Added to that, he threw more than usual which left him open for counters.

Floyd didn't care. At all.

so basically Dr. Kewl Hair is saying that Floyd and GGG apparently have the same standards of defense, that when he fought Brook, it's was comparible to the way Floyd fought Conor vs a Marquez or a De La Hoya...

I mean, surely people know Alvarez carried Khan to an easy KO....look at Nelo's highlight clips of making Khan miss in combo attempts...therefore Alvarez and GGG let their smaller opponents get off a bit in less careful defense...even though Nelo didn't get lit like GGG did against Brook...

regardless of any of that, this was a Boxer trolling an ''upper echelon'' MMA fighter that without the UFC juice after draining, the 175lb fighter was no match for the seasoned Welterweight....Brook didn't have GGG's head bobbing back with just a jab

[Combat Talk Radio]

There's a difference between testing power and allowing yourself to get hit (ala Mayorga).

Floyd tested McGregor's power. This is evident by the infamous tap jab and the fact Floyd made NO effort to dodge it. That's why he's smiling - there was nothing to worry about.
