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

[Zaryu]

Exactly! A lot was going on from a rookie stand point. A lot to take in such a short notice. Conditioning and mental preparation take years to hone in a given sport. Conor only had a few months to prepare. Obviously Fatigue took a hit on him. A rookie mistake, but very forgivable given it was his debut fight.

Yes, but the key here is inexperience. This is part of what the boxing industry was saying way in advanced.

First 3 rounds he looked good, albeit Floyd always starts slow

he has decent outside game, zero inside game

also needs to work on using his shoulders and hips to punch (too many arm punches)

cardio is more a mental thing i believe

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.

Like I said, he was a novice stepping up to the plate. He's inexperienced defeated him. His lack of of it lost him the fight, but seeing what he did to a self proclaimed TBE coming in as 0-0 fighter speaks volumes. He did more than expected and then some.

Conor won even though he lost.

[Spoon23]

Lol, a guy who is two years retired and undersized is the best boxing has to offer?
And, you you cling on to these "if's". 'If' the terms were different, Floyd would have fought differently too. Why do people have to create scenarios like yours too comfort themselves? Connor is a shyt boxer who only knows how to foul. Embrace reality.

lol 2 years retired??

The guy has been boxing all these years since he was a youngling. His boxing knowledge is suppose to be second to none.

Do you picture a shoalin monk who is 70 years old get touched like that?

Do you picture a grand master 7 dan karate champion get touched like that?

Do you picture a teacher of a given sport who has learned his craft for most of his life get touched like that?

A master doesn't get hurt like that to someone who hardly knows boxing. Floyd's knowledge and experience should have kept him invincible against someone like Conor.

But instead, he was turned into a moving target practice. That was embarrassing to watch. Seeing the self proclaimed TBE (suppose to be a master of the sport) get turned into an easy target. That was just wack. There is no excuse their, getting touched by a noob like that speaks volumes.

Randy Couture was a 40 years old and took Toney's head in mere seconds. That's not even someone who acknowledges he is the best of his sport and he still did that to James Toney. We expected Floyd to take Conor's head in great fashion. What we got was mediocrity.

Stallone even said before the fight, Conor stepping in the ring with Floyd is murder. Max before the fight also said, Conor won't land a single punch of Floyd. That's the level of greatness a master should be in, but what it was, is just a tale of fake hype. Floyd has been undressed. The last heist is done.

Oh well, at least He beat Conor. It could have been much worse if conor survived 12.

Floyd needs to hang it up. He's done at the elite level.

[whoelsebutjames]

Connor gassed out because he ran instead of fight. There's a mental effect of not landing punches while avoiding. Hitting the bag for 40 min straight is easier the swinging and missing while running backwards.

Floyd was already retired and inactive for over 2 years. Wow, I cannot believe that someone once called me your Alt, you freaking dummy.

Some say.. Floyd never leaves the gym. Even when he retired. Some say, he cycles too..

Some say a 40 year old should have less stamina than a 28 year old.

But irregardless..

Anyone who has 0-0 record should be easy pickn'

Cherries anyone?

Think about that for a sec..

A white belter never wins over a 7 dan black belter who need not train as a hard as a white belter.

A kungfu master who is 70 won't lose to a pupil who just learned kungfu. That's what happened.

Live with it pal. It sux I know.

Naah, Floyd couldn't figure Conor's range game. Took him the 5th round to break through Conor's D.

It was cringe worthy to watch to see Floyd stopped in his tracks with a rangy fighter who kept him at bay for the first 5 rounds. That says a lot of how good Conor did.

8 rounds I can see a tough fight for Floyd to win. After all, there is a strong case Conor won four straight.

If that was the case Conor only needed one more which was the 8. And Conor won that too. that's a 5-3 Conor.

If that was an 8 rounder, surprising to say, I hate to say it, but Floyd could have lost it over a novice..
