Conor gassed out due to his poor conditioning/not ready for 12 rounder

Excellent breakdown and thread. Always enjoy reading your analysis on fights. You know your stuff, green K.

lol off course he would say that. who would pay to watch this circus show, if he would have said he doesn't have the gas to go 12.

He also told us he had power...was he lying about that to sell tickets too?

Why did the Irish Gorilla run away ? what a bogus fake he turned out be you run from that the same way Connor did lol.

Connor cant punch for sht he is so lucky he only picks on little boxers that don't punch real hard other wise the fool be in a coma.

connor didnt care about stamina or winning. getting that check was all that mattered.

I was quite interesting to see the "Irish Gorilla" backing up for his life after the 3rd round when he realized he hit Floyd with everything he had and it just made Floyd come forward more...

If it was an 8 rounder Mayweather would have just stepped on the gas sooner. Same result either way. Conor has nothing to be ashamed about, though. He actually changed my opinion of MMA fighters.

lol this suppose to be a sport.

It's about winning.


That said, we all know coming into the fight, Conor had no chance against a seasoned vet like Floyd.

But like I said, he did more than most boxing fans expected of him. He was in there with the best boxing had to offer. He held his own and has a strong argument he won 4 straight rounds. I don't think Floyd mayweather wanted that to happen lol

Conor, made that happen. He had the jab to keep Floyd honest.
He was a rangy fighter.

What Conor was lacking was stamina to compete in a 12 rounder. What is finally proved is the technique and conditioning levels you get to when learning to box for 14 - 15 years before turning pro. We don't need to compare MMA to boxing (as it is different, tough and rougher in its own way) but what we saw is the evolution of boxing punching /conditioning is levels above the necessarily compromised artform called MMA.


Like I said my thread has brought out that Conor wasn't ready for a 12 rounder. he just ran out of gas. All Floyd had to do is pick him appart as Conor was running on fumes.

Did Floyd do that to Conor? NO, COnor did that to himself. Conor was landing more shots than Floyd going into the mid rounds. Floyd only lstarted landing significant punches although few, in the mid rounds, not enough to hurt Conor. What hurt Conor was his own fatigue, he couldn't go on, lack of conditioning. Floyd smelled blood, and that was the end.
