Comments Thread For: Holm on Mayweather-McGregor: That Was an Early Stoppage

[Eff Pandas]

I believe fighters have done it other countries and with other MMA organizations and vice versa. Depends on your definition of what would be a major title in MMA and boxing outside of the United States.

Who?

I'd assume major boxing title would be the WBC, WBA, WBO & IBF. I'd assume major MMA title to be UFC, Bellator, WSOF, Pride & Strikeforce.

I'm not aware of anyone except Holm who's won both side of those belts, but who's won lesser boxing & MMA titles? How low we going exactly?

What a surprise an Irish chick defending another Irish.

I wanted to see conor on his back but it was a good stoppage

[jonnyc420]

Early? He was out on his feet. Holly just being loyal to the UFC.

It was a good stoppage. It saved McGregor (and his fans) the embarrassment of becoming the victim of a highlight reel KO, which is what would have likely happened if the fight had been allowed to continue. The ref was already being lenient toward McGregor, because he's a novice, letting him get away with amateurish maneuvers and hammer-fist strikes. The ref couldn't, however, let an exhausted, defenseless novice take punishment from a world-class pro. Most MMA fans don't appreciate how brutal boxing is, probably because the mortality rate in MMA is far lower than boxing.

hahahav i love the bayless floyd picks, bayless's love became really apparent in the second maidana fight. I used to think he was one of the best, but that fight showed the true favoratism and corruption from big kenny bayless

McGregor had his hands down for a whole minute, not defending, and not throwing back.

Dude could of gotten seriously hurt if his lights went out.

Is it me or does Floyd Mayweather look like Adonis Stevenson in your sig bruh? The way he slightly hunch his back, flaring his nose and wat not.

[Flabble Scrote]

He was pretty much out on his feet, wouldnt have lasted the round probably
Just lucky it wasnt Canelo or Errol Spence or someone

At the very least the stoppage saved Conor and the UFC the embarrassment of getting knocked down. Imagine all the memes MMA and Conor would have to endure if Conor went down.

Holly Holme says " For Mayweather, anything can happen in a fight, one punch can end it, he’s putting a lot on the line. 50-0 or to lose to an MMA fighter who never boxed before. That’s a lot to put on the line.”

Hahaha, he picked a guy who was a total newbie to boxing. Zero fights-zero experience. Yeah, sure, Floyd is such a risk taker That was the dumbest comment she made.
