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

[Boxfan83]

Mcgregor landed one hard punch a beautiful left uppercut I don't understand why he stopped power shots as the rest were pitty pat arm punches from righty then lefty he was known for Tyson power had 0 arm punches

He couldn't fight going back + Floyd head movement.

if floyd was a bigger puncher and wasn't 40 years old and coming off of a layoff he'd have knocked mcgregor out in a few rounds. i've never seen a fighter earn millions of dollars with his head straight up in the air like that. he's very luccky floyd's timing was way off until the very end of the fight, and that the man was 40 freaking years old.


hell, a hard puncher probably would have stopped connor in training camp. he clearly wasn't getting hit hard in camp, or he'd have never had his head up like a alter boy trying to project for the church choir.

PLease re watch round 1-6. You have so many ifs in your statement.

Would if conner stayed in boxing? He'd have murdered Floyd...boxing looked horrible man. You guys are just lying to yourselves

[Boxfan83]

Yeah even Floyd fan boys can't fathom why you let Conor the novice punch you in the face over and over for most of the rounds. Especially the first four rounds without you answering back at all. Shock is putting it lightly how Conor did that to you lol


At least now that Floyd acknowledged Conor skills. They should be able to realize what you had to go through with Notorious.


Their favorite excuse for you is you carried him to 10 rounds while you got hit cleanly over and over like as if you did that on purpose lol

Give it up dude. There's a reason y Floyd walked forward, he had 0 respect for a guy 20lbs bigger and the hardest hitter in the UFC. There's a reason why Mayweather didn't fight a lil guy like pacman the same way. McGregor was awkward long & big, we all knew McGregor was going to bring something a lil different, u couldn't study tape on him. Come the 8th Rd McGregor's head looked like a loose double ended bag.

Floyd is stronger than McGregor. McGregor hugged the whole night and he was running. Also Floyd faced a light heavyweight on Saturday. 50-0

[hugh grant]

Knew how to dissect him? Well he's never boxed so it can't be that hard.
You said you was going for a ko against non boxer, noit that brave?
You said you'd ko PAC but didn't. So that must be seen as failure

[Sledgeweather17]

yes, floyd said it will not go the distance. although, i havent seen floyd said he's gonna walk conor down and knock him out late before the fight.

but i think you are missing the point about "didnt go as planned".. im sure floyd and yourself, didnt think conor would have that much success early on?

I repeat! He did exactly as he said he would.

Floyd usually starts slow anyway. The first three/four rounds are most of the time him just observing and setting traps to see what the opponent has and get his timing right. You must have never watched Floyd before if you don't know this.

The only time Floyd will start fast is if he thinks the opponent is very dangerous, like in Maidana 2 and the Pac fight.

Ha ha why don't Floyd fight GGG. Don't floydv start fast often then? He can't be facing enough da ngerous foe

That's because you see what you want to see. Mayweather said from the beginning that he would be going straight to McGregor and it wouldn't go the distance.


You were one of the idiots claiming that McGregor would win, Mayweather would run and other nonsense. Now you're looking for moral victories because Conor landed some weak pitty pat punches that Mayweather walked through. That uppercut didn't even make Mayweather blink

[Goyotronico]

Buajajajaja!!! Boxers and the media are still trying to convince people this was a real boxing match and crediting Floyd and Connor for their efforts, LOL! This was a circus act that even them could not stop laughing trough the match, I really feel sorry for the people that actually shelled out $99 for that circus act. It was actually funny to watch, I was laughing the whole fight.

ESPN interview with Stephen A.

So much success? His plan was to entice McGregor to punch himself out.
