    Floyd knows the rules, Conor probably isn't aware of all of them. Byrd should be commended for making his instructions to Conor clear. I applaud him

      Yup that was clean body shot as it can get.


      Gloves touching inside the belt line. Not a low blow.




      Floyd to a fetus position. Conor could have T'd off from that, but as you can see Referee saves Floyd's ass again by pushing Conor out of the equation so he can't pounce on him.

      Truth hurts, but that's what it is. A novice did that to Floyd.

        It's hard to fault a man out of his natural habit going back to what is instinct. He did his fairest to play honest in a sport that isn't his. If you are going to complain about the many hammer fists, what about Jr. turning his back on Conor like 10 times waiting for ref intervention or the elbows?

        There are dirty tactics in every sport and it's hard to fault either side when both are using them.

          Byrd let Conor throw a 15 back and rabbit punch combination...I'd say he was pretty fair...

            Probably wouldn't have mattered either way but it was early stoppage imho.

              Maybe cause Floyd has heard those instructions 49 times and Conor 0?

                Why do people keep saying this? It was Conor that kept going behind Floyd. Paulie had to put Mauro in his place. Floyd wasn't turning his back when has Floyd ever done that?

                  He should for letting McGregor get away with what he did. Does anyone believe that if that was any boxer doing that **** they wouldn't have got a point took? He hammer punched the back of Mayweathers head about 10 rimes, threw combinations whens stood behind Mayweather.

                  He was obviously giving McGregor leeway.

                    I thought there was a lot of strange things happening in the fight. I did notice that Byrd only looked at McGregor when he was giving instructions...but that kind of made sense. Byrd wanted McGregor to be clear on the rules. I was kind of shocked that McGregor didn't get a point taken away for all the those hammer fists. Yes, Floyd did a few elbows but I didn't think he used his elbow as much in this fight as he has in other fights, and he wasn't excessive with it. This was a really weird looking boxing match though. I was laughing my ass off at times. At times I could have sworn that Mayweather was laughing too.

                      That's because he was! Mayweather found out the PPV numbers were going to be good and couldn't hold back his joy. He laughed all the way to the bank.......
