    He should have threw the straight left more, with more authority
    he landed a clean uppercut in round 1. surely he wasnt gassed yet in round 1. he has less power than paulie M.

        You're right. Rogan's a MMA fanboy who doesn't appreciate the skill of boxers. I remember a few years ago him saying that UFC fighters were way more skilled than boxers, even though Brock Lesnar went to the UFC from pro wrestling and won their HW title within his first year in the sport. He gave Conor a good chance to beat Floyd and was saying stuff like he has fought tougher guys etc SMH.

        In general I like Rogan and his podcast is good but his boxing knowledge is pretty awful. He shouldn't run his mouth about something he's not educated on at all.
        ^Yea, he's always on that kick. For a guy who acts so rational, he just spouts whatever nonsense feels right to him and those who don't know better just gobble it up.
        Even his grappling calls have been bad for a while now. The transitions he predicts or explanation of whether a choke/maneuver is in or not are frequently wrong. I'll give him credit for knowing more than most other commentators but I think he gets waaaay too much credit for a guy that makes as many mistakes as he does, and who never admits his errors.

          Even in the first round when he landed that uppercut? Did he gas himself out during the national anthem?

            Boxing? No power.
            Lol You're a ******.

            Tell me, boy - Why is it you can rule out Conor having any power in boxing when he didn't even land a good, hard shot with a lot of force behind it?

              That's why he can rule it out, you answered your own question.

                MMA fans said Conor McGregor hit like a Truck.

                I agree he hits like a Truck...a Tonka Toy Truck!

                  Rogan been talking about Floyd's brittle hands for the longest time in the build up, he knows he got it wrong. Referred to Conor's left hand as "Dynamite"

                    Wait a second...we have Floyd haters running around the forums talking about how Conor dominated Floyd, was snapping his head back and landing bombs before he gassed out...

                    Now we're supposed to believe Conor never landed a clean shot, and that's why he didn't hurt Mayweather?...

                    You nut jobs need to have a meeting and all get on the same page...

                      He hit Floyd with an uppercut at the start of the fight when he was fresh and Floyd didn't even blink.

                      Conor just doesn't have good power in the context of boxing.
