Comments Thread For: Mayweather Was 'Kind of Shocked' By McGregor's Boxing Skills

[Real King Kong]

Throughout the promotion Floyd kept saying OVER and OVER again that he would walk Connor down and knock him out late, and then he did exactly that.

So wtf are you on about it didn't go exactly as planned? There is tons of video evidence of Floyd saying he would do exactly what he did on fight night.

where did I say anything about his game plan...I was talking about the thread topic, which was him being shocked a little by McGregor's ability. he didn't start pushing forward until round 3-4...but yea, he let McGregor take the first couple rounds right?

Of course McGregor doesn't have the skill level of Mayweather, so he may have lost anyway even with better stamina. But on to the real fight in sept. I guess, Canelo-Golovkin.

The fight showed Floyd one thing he should not fight again the Florida five years ago would have had them out in 5....still I had the feeling Floyd carried him he could have had him anytime after around 6...

Little old floyd, the half fighter from the half sport with the tiny head, tiny core, brittle hands, 12 years older, 20lbs lighter was the boss, the bully, the puncher in the fight. Against the best striker in mma history, if he touches you, you go down.
Walked that boy down like golovkin v martin Murray.

Ha ha ha what a sissy sport.

Im amazed some ppl cannot grasp what they saw at weekend floyd and his dad would have looked at it like a risk assessment

Shall we try blast him out early? No too risky he will have his stamina and any power he supposedly has

Shall we box and potshot make him chase us? No floyd didn't want to win as UD

Shall we make him work give away the early round let him empty the tank so he is a sitting duck? Well thats what they chose the second conor gassed floyd went for the KO he finished him with 50 secs of work it was the perfect plan executed brilliantly still ppl moan and b*tch tho floyd walked him down and showed the difference in class
