Comments Thread For: McGregor To Critics: I Outboxed Floyd Early - You Can't Deny That!

yeah his corner should have told him to keep the jab pumping all night...didn't even have to have much on it as was witnessed, just keep flicking it...it takes discipline though...with mcg's dimensions, it was the best tool to use against a fighter like floyd because it naturally takes the counter punch away...its a reason why floyd wasn't too eager to get the ring with guys like williams and khan because they were longer and had overactive jabs...

YOU are joking aren't you?

[yoshik]

i dont know why he just didnt do that. it was working for him and was keeping floyd at bay. you could tell it was bothering floyd. floyd would have gotten desperate in the later rounds and get caught with the same uppercut he got caught early on when he got desperate and did a pac move by rushing in LOL!!!

YOU are out of your mind. You re not a boxing fan.

I didn't see the first 4-5 rounds but it was obvious even before he gassed he looked absolutely dog ***** in the limited rounds I saw that surely he was carried and is he so ignorant to believe that Floyd just comes in and blasts everyone out? He plays it safe every fight and he's never fought as a 2 years inactive 40 year old.

Exactly. Floyd fans are insecure. Floyd carried Conor by making himself miss straight rights and left hooks and getting jabbed and countered? Even Floyd said it himself - I'm not going to move back but I'm also not going to let Conor hit me... you got hit and countered.. Conor has no conditioning and even then still made a come back in the 8th and hurt Floyd to the body in the 9th. Conor's body shot landed at the bottom of the guard it was about 3 inches above where Ward's final punch landed against Kova

Pfffffttttt.........while I don't like Floyd he played Conor like a fiddle. Come on now......be honest. You sound desperate to make Floyd look bad.

Here is Vegas judging at its finest. Floyd threw like 6 punches in a couple of those rounds and the judges gave him the rounds. Mcgregor clearly won 2-3 rounds early on because Floyd let him or whatever and still he couldn't get them scored for him.

And you sir win stoopid khunt of the year.

[yoshik]

He did

Floyd was missing with left hooks. He didnt carry him like people are saying

Mac did outbox an inactive older version of floyd first 3 rounds

You post an avatar of Emanuel Lewis like a real boxing fan and then you post that garbage. You're not a boxing fan, you don't understand the sport.

Poor, poor Connor... Still doesn't realize the joke was on him all along.

[Catrin]

this whole thing was a JOKE!
you Can't Deny That!

Winning the first 4 rounds of a 12 round fight means absolutely nothing if you then gas and get stopped.

It's like a 1500 metre runner challenging Mo Farah to a 5000 metre race, setting off like a bat out of hell, then pulling up after 3000 metres and bragging about being in the lead for the first 4 laps!

Whoever wrote this article is lying or just on Mcgregor's payroll because McGregor did not "comfortably" win the first four rounds lol. That's an ignorant thing to say.

Mcgregor threw arm punches the whole fight and the fact Mayweather could walk him down says more about his lack of boxing skills and stamina. They can't edit this video and rewrite history.
