floyd's punches wont leave you brain damage. if anything, its more like a massage.

Comments like these are proof that you don't need to be punched in the head repeatedly to have brain damage.

I understand casual fans not understanding or caring about how risky it is for a fighter to take unnecessary punishment, but it's a shame that there are people in the fighting community who are disregarding the safety of their fellow fighters and making comments like Holm's.

McGregor's legs were totally shot at the beginning of the 10th round. At the time of the stoppage, McGregor was absolutely incapable of defending himself. He not only wasn't throwing punches back, he was longer even able to grab Floyd and tie him. In other words, McGregor was a punching bag totally at Floyd's mercy.

Anybody who watches the stoppage and is intellectually honest will acknowledge that if the ref didn't stop the fight, there was only one possible outcome: McGregor would continue eating big punches, every one of them unnecessary and putting his health (and perhaps life) in jeopardy.

no, its very serious, BUT when the ref stopped the fight, conor wasnt even getting hit lol. floyd actually missed the 2 punches that he threw at conor. if the ref wanted to stop the fight he should have stopped it when floyd socked conor and made his booger came out lol.

Byrd started stepping in to stop the fight after Floyd hit a defenseless McGregor with a clean left. You should get your vision checked.

It wasn't the refs fault, it was the NSAC that allowed this mismatch to occur in the first place
