I thought Conor would be tough and he was. In terms of skills I didn't see anything impressive except one nice uppercut early on. It was Mayweather's easiest fight

If you thought that ms connor was tough, then you must think that provodnikov is the god of war that came from mars.

Considering it was his first boxing match, he showed heart. I can't fault his effort, only his skills. Of course Provodnikov is on another level

The best striker in MMA who was hyped as having some sort of death touch was proved to be totally pillowfisted by boxing standards...

Waat.

Conor is not the best striker in MMA. Conor fans may say that, MMA fans don't say that.

47 Pro Boxers tried to drop Floyd... 47 Pro Boxers failed*... add Conor to the 47 other pillow-fisted Floyd opponents then I guess.

The difference is that Floyd respected those other guys and their power. He had zero respect for Conor and his pillowfisted arm punches and stood in front of him.

Conor can't throw a punch to save his ass. This guy couldn't hurt a fly.

[USMCer]

The fight proved that MMA fighters are pillowfisted and have no endurance and no chins, absolutely none.

These are not like boxers.

Eh,
No Pro Boxers ever really hurt Floyd either, what of it...
Conor is not known for his cardio even in MMA...
Conor didn't get dropped, he was fatigued but clear-headed...

In reality, MMA was elevated after last night.

The so-called 'amateur' from MMA landed more punches/at a higher rate than Boxing Hall of Famers did against Floyd, the defensive master.

This "fight" happened under a specific set of rules to keep Floyd alive -- Everyone knew that going into it.

The Best Ever in Boxing did what he was supposed to do... in Boxing.

Conor dared greatly and earned the adulation of all sides.

You can't be serious about this post... Floyds game plan was to push forward... Of course he's going to get hit... He wasn't on defense He was on offense last night... how many more hits would boxing HOFers have against if he was on offense instead of defense? what does that say about his respect for Macgreggors power and skill?

And specific set of rules? U mean boxing rules? The fight was still dirty last night... but Money May still beat the snot out of macgreggor 50-0!

Lol, MMA fans showing their low IQ as usual.

Would love to see how McGregor would do against those HOFers who supposedly failed worse against Mayweather. I say McGregor doesn't make it past the 3rd against the 5'5 Filipino.

Let's be honest here. No one expected Conor to win. That much was obvious. Going in, the expectations for him were set so low, it would be almost impossible for him be worse or just as bad as we thought.

Based on what most of the world thought, yes he did better than we thought because this was supposed to be a clean sweep. McGregor won at least 2 or 3 rounds. They weren't good rounds and his punches were slow, push punches, but he won those rounds.

Considering he had zero boxing experience, I thought he did decent.

At the same time, if he wants to take this sport seriously and box full time, he needs to start at the bottom.

[Reloaded]

There were myopic people saying that Conor would not even "land one punch"... that he had a "zero percent chance"... etc..

I want to hear from those folk.

Are you eating your crow or denying it's even on your plate?

Nobody expected Floyd to just walk in to him all night even though Floyd told the world thats what he was going to do, Floyd threw 9 punches in 2 round lol and that is the only reason Connor won any rounds, as Ray Leonard said, its not about Connor it what does Floyd have left.

You people are going on about what Connor did, lets see Connor walk down a guy 20 pounds bigger he would get killed, this Irish Gorilla is supposed to be the biggest puncher in MMA and he was against one of boxings lightest punchers half his size and he was mugged,,,, lol

Connor cant punch for sht and it makes me wonder what boxings real heavy hitters would do to MMA guys when they land in 4 ounce gloves, the death rate for their sport would rise considerably.
