[GammaDaFrat]

You seem really pressed and emotional. No man should get you that much off your square to write a novel. Smh yall dudes live and breed hate for certain fighters.

Floyd didn't "break down" ****. Mcgregor was breathing heavy before Floyd even landed a body punch. He gassed all by himself. Just like he did against Nate Diaz. He knocked Diaz down multiple times, landing combinations at will, while Diaz couldn't do ****, not even land a single punch for the first 7 minutes of their fight. Then after connecting everything, Mcgregor misses one or two combinations, and suddenly he's breathing out of his mouth, backing up, and looking like a dead man walking.

He just has stamina issues. Plain and simple. Plus he'd never boxed before, but that's no excuse seeing as the same thing happened in UFC. I'm sick of seeing fanboys of certain boxers give credit for their opponent's fatigue. Just like so many here wanted to overhype Ward for "breaking down" Kovalev, only for it to come out after their fights from inside Kovalev's camp that he was barely training anymore, that he's out partying, not interested in boxing anymore, etc etc. Not to mention it's possible he relied on meldonium for his stamina only for it to get outlawed months before his fight with Ward.

In other words, some guys are just going to fatigue on their own. You shouldn't get credit for doing it to them just because you were in the ring with them when it happened and you happened to land a few jabs to their bodies in the process. GGG hit Martin Murray with about 50 huge hooks to the body, and Murray lasted until the 11th round, but we're supposed to believe Floyd Mayweather at 40 years old has such a magical jab to the body that one or two is what completely "broke Mcgregor down"? Get out of here. Mcgregor tired on his own, and then Floyd started walking him down so he couldn't catch his breath, which tired him out even more. But the original ***** in his armor was his own poor stamina, not some huge body shot Floyd hit him with, or some big volume of them.

stamina issues along with body shots is a disaster sir... Floyd landed some good body shots u are pathetic

I believe most MMA fighters would be the same their form of conditioning is totally different than boxing as well as fighting they have certain rest positions they can acquire boxing you don't have that maybe a clinch for a brief couple seconds but that's not enough to clear your head or get your wind back...

154/160 is full of killers....Conor should stay far away from boxing if he values his health

very true, but everyone is saying spence and thurman would do a number on conor but they are welters. the fight was at 154. any 154 lion would press the fight to connor and exchange more frequently. conor would be done in 3 or 4 rounds, on his back.

I said before the fight and I was right - MMA fighters to man are not as fit as pro boxers. No one could ever convince me otherwise, Every MMA fight I've ever seen (not many I admit), by the end BOTH fighters are staggering around the cage, exhausted, lost all co-ordination, just like Mcg on Sat. They don't even look like they do road work. Money really well spent by UFC on that underwater treadmill! Just tell them to go for a run!

The judges didn't count all the illegal punches McGregor was landing. The punch you claimed hurt him in the 9th grazed his thigh and landed on the belt line. Not to mention McGregor immediately jumped on his back when the ref stopped the action. If Mayweather was hurt we've seen him hurt much more than that and he was able to recover so I doubt McGregor would even know how to finish when boxers that actually could wasn't able to. Nice to see you on this site Skip.

how can you get hurt getting punched in the thigh?? only a liver and kidney shot hurts like that

Floyd is right on this. If Conor stays in boxing, it will have to be for a huge cash out or against fighters that can't do much damage to him (Paulie).

yea but kicking takes a lot out of you and wrestling really takes away stamina

If he was fighting a size matched guy it could be tragic. He should stay far away from boxing if he values his life.
