lol this suppose to be a sport.

It's about winning.


That said, we all know coming into the fight, Conor has 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.

why exactly do you think he called out the sports biggest earner for ?!?!? he could have ''challenged'' any ACTIVE guy, but noooooo........

anyone who thinks connor was in this for a win is as gullible as it gets.

no offense but i cant find a reason to read past ''its all about winning''....HE ALREADY ''WON''

Well, I expected more from Floyd as do most including Andre Ward. You just don't get Floyd off the hook for that lousy display of boxing.

Giving away 4 rounds against a novice is embarrassing in itself. Floyd took some shots, not just few, but a lot, Conor broke through his high guard landing everywhere. And that is just some of it.


Well Andre Ward says it best:

“I expected a lot less from McGregor and I expected a little bit more from Floyd Mayweather. I think Floyd showed his age a little bit. He’s still got a lot left in the tank, but when you start seeing yourself getting hit with punches you typically won’t get hit with, especially against a guy with no experience, and you’re not offensively getting off and throwing like you should be - it’s time to hang it up. It’s not that you don’t have it, but you want to leave before you don’t have it anymore," Ward said.


ANDRE WARD: IT'S TIME TO HANG UP FLOYD

Andre Ward's conclusion: that performance was cringe worthy time to hang up.

It's all about the money, but like Ward. Floyd didn't give a good account of himself. Conor did more showing than Floyd did for himself in that fight. Knowing he was the experienced boxer in the ring.

# time to hang up Floyd. that was not a good look

Case closed.

The only thing closed is your brain, Floyd plugged it up when he reamed your ass.

If this was an 8 rounder Conor easily could have won this fight.


Conor lost to himself. Not to Floyd.

He gassed out. As a result Floyd just hammered home after Conor was fatigued. A novice mistake by a novice fighter.

He overused his own stamina and drown himself in deep waters before they know what hit him. Floyd didn't land any good shots from 1-5, it was all McG. Conor just gassed out and looked spent from all those punches he threw. A novice mistake. But he is afterall, a novice in a boxing ring. But I just can't give credit to Floyd for Conor's lack of stamina. It was Conor's lack of boxing stamina that did it for him and not Floyd's punches. floyd just waited for him to fatigue, and powered through since he had more gas nothing more.


Conor did that to himself, it's not Floyd who did that to Conor, Conor's lack of conditioning failed him. All Floyd did, was wait for him to gas out and the rest was easy pickn'

Stamina was Conor's demise. This was expected from a non boxer who was obviously not ready for a 12 rounder.

But if this was an 8 rounder. Conor easily won this. Hands down.

Conor did more than can be expected from a novice pro debut boxer. He went above and beyond what was expected of him. That in itself is remarkable achievement. A non boxer with zero professional fights made an elite fighter look shot.

Round 1 10-9 McG
Round 2 10-9 McG
Round 3 10-9 McG
Round 4 10-9 McG
Round 5 10-9 May
Round 6 10-10 draw
Round 7 10-9 May
Round 8 10-9 McG

SImilar scorecard to mine, although I gave round 8 to McG. Rounds 7-9 started in a similar fashion with mac starting fast early and then fading and may landing the bigger, harder shots, although neither guy really hurt the other.

I agree better condition needs to come in to play but this shouldnt have been a surprise, its why I predicted a stoppage. Mac has always had a bad engine.

What are you even getting at?...Floyd hung up his gloves 2 years ago when he was already old...he came out of retirement to make $300+ million...he hasn't been prime level Floyd in YEARS...

Has anyone said anything differently?

I love Andre Ward...but we will see how he looks in the ring 7 years from now

[stealthradon]

Conor was landing more shots than Floyd going into the mid rounds.

So UFC's biggest puncher couldn't even buckle a 40 year old man 3 weightclasses below him, despite outlanding him?
