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.

All good points. McGregor doesn't last with any legitimate top ranked guy north of 147.

Conor did quite well. I never expected him to land anything other than the odd jab to be honest but he proved me wrong. Now can we forget about it and concentrate on the real fight that's fast approaching.

You can't be serious about this post... 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!

Ha!
"Of course he's going to get hit"?@!? By the "0-0 amateur"!!?!
Where was this sentiment before the fight?

So Floyd was on offense,

I'm between two options, I thought he would do well in the first two rounds, but he won three. He did better than I thought, but it was negligible. He got away with dirty tactics, and fought a very negative fight. I give him credit for putting up a good fight, but at the same time I felt like he was just trying to spoil Floyd's boxing and just survive.

I honestly did not expect those rabbit punches/hammer fists. They're not quite kicks and elbows or anything to that extreme, but that crap was poor showing from Conor (and they weren't even effective).

Conor's window was closed after the 5th. He landed, but he never unloaded.

I thought Conor would get hopelessly outclassed from bell to bell and was extremely surprised. I had him winning 5 rounds and actually ahead on points going into the 10th round. I find it comical when people say he won 1-2 rounds. BS!

U realize he took the first 3-4 rounds off and still managed to ko him right? Mayweathers whole game plan was to allow Mick to punch himself out and ko him in the late rounds... Connor played into floyds plan... he's not the 2nd coming as ur claiming him to be...

Kid, it was a Win-Win from the beginning. MMA/Conor had nothing to lose. Just like I said.

I picked Floyd to beat Conor; that he wouldn't come out for the 7th RD. Wishful-thinking, I hoped Conor would catch Floyd off guard a bit, stun Floyd, and jump on it.

I just wanted to SEE IT HAPPEN. **** all the talk, LETS SEE IT. I wanted to see Anderson Silva vs Roy Jones Jr... I wanted to see Nick Diaz vs Jeff Lacy... I'm extremely thankful that we actually got to see this one.

Mayweather vs McGregor was a beautiful thing.


P.S.
Did you even watch/listen to the video? The poll options are posed in reference to the video a bit.

win/win for boxing, if anything.

It's an accomplishment to go 9 rounds with a 40 year old over the hill champ with brittle hands?

Just lol @ a kid calling me kid. Just lol.

It's a win all around. Couldn't have ended up much better than it did, all things considered.

Boxing and Mayweather had the potential to lose big, but it worked out well.
