Show me clean hard effective punches of round 3 and 8 and show me how Conor had better defense than floyd and who was the ring generalComment

Exactly. Everyone in the boxing world knows this should be a Floyd easy win. This was the easiest cherry to pick. An 0-0 fighter has no business even being there in the fist place . There is nothing to be proud with that performance of him fighting an 0-0 guy and looking vulnerable over a novice. That's what I call a cherry 🍒 pick gone wrong lol
Put a big fat asterisk next to it, coz that's what it was. Not a small asterisk, a big one lolComment

Dude McGregor clearly outpointed Floyd in those rounds. Floyd barely threw any punches whatsoever in those rounds.
Don't matter how much 'ring generalship' you allegedly had if you aint throwing nothing.
Dude I'm a Floyd fan, my name should tell you that in and of itself, but come on. He lost those rounds.
I understand he was tryna put pressure on McGregor, make him move too much and punch himself out, but to do that you gotta sacrifice a round or two, especially when you're not throwing.
Floyd won 6 rounds, and was gonna take the tenth as well, at which point the fight would have been dead and buried, McGregor wasn't gonna survive the rest of the tenth anyway.
Floyd dominated McGregor, outsmarted and outskilled him, I get it. But he lost those 3 rounds.Comment

I gave credit to McGregor but for different reasons. He represented his sport well. He is the best boxer in the MMA and it showed Saturday night. However, I don't give him credit for landing punches on Mayweather because obviously Mayweather made a conscious decision to abondon his defense in order to get close to McGregor. I said it numerous times since the fight that McGregor's reach was a legitimate issue for Mayweather. If it wasn't you would probably see Mayweather stay at range, walk McGregor down, and eventually stop him. He couldn't stay at range because when he tried to counter he was unable to because he couldn't get within his reach. Therefore, he did the next best thing. He put his guard up and pushed his way into McGregor's chest. Of course he would get hit doing that but it didn't matter because McGregor had no pop. Mayweather showed once again that even with an unconventional fighter who was doing things than he'd ever seen in the boxing ring before, and outweighed him with a longer reach, he made the necessary adjustments to accomplish his goal. Don't get me wrong this win is nothing to brag about. But let's not go crazy and heap undue praise on McGregor for merely surfing 9.5 rounds. This would be like heaping praise on the younger, bigger, stronger Canelo for not getting KO'd against Mayweather.I give credit where credit is due. Conor represented himself well in a short notice pro debut fight. Most boxer leearned their craft at an early age and turn pro after 10-15 years harnessing their skills to turn pro. What Conor did was amazing to see how he was able to stay there with a seasoned vet with such a short time of learning boxing.
That said, I was routing for Floyd. He needed to drop Conor in the 10th, if he didn't, and Conor survived the 12 rounds. That would have fuvked up the sport that we love.
I always thought this was a circus fight, and Conor having only a punchers chance to win this, thus, it was obviously Floyd who should win this. But seeing what Conor did, and a strong case he took four straight rounds. Is remarkable in itself. Got to give him that. A novice did that to Floyd. I was shocked to see how easy it was for Conor to land those shots. I was covering my eyes. Cringing how Floyd was taking so much shots to the body and head. It was embarrassing to see.
Hats off to Conor. He represented himself well. You can't ask for anything more from him. Even Max Kellerman even said before the fight, Conor won't land a single punch on Floyd, but he did and so much more.
- Got to give him credit for that. He went above and beyond any boxing fans expectations.

Not really.
Andre ward says it best.
This past Saturday night at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, five division world champion Floyd Mayweather returned to the ring after a two year retirement stint and stopped UFC superstar Conor McGregor in the tenth round. McGregor opened strongly in the first four rounds, in what was his professional boxing debut, before tiring with Mayweather coming into his own by the time the fight was stopped.
“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 TO FLOYD: IT'S TIME TO HANG UP
Here is another one.
I normally don't agree with Amir Khan, but he also says. Conor lost coz of fatigue.
# Not a good look for Floyd
