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

[SugarRayCurtain]

You don't score points by making someone miss unless you counter... you only prevent the other person from scoring points...

This is the fatal mistake that people who don't know anything about the history of boxing make... they score for the fight for the "slick" fighter just on defense... defense doesn't score points in boxing...

Hence, why Lara didn't beat Canelo... why Canelo didn't beat GGG... why Ward didn't beat Kova in the first fight... why Floyd lost to Castillo in the first fight.. the list goes on and on...

Not really sure what youre getting at
I thought Floyd won the 2nd round because he landed cleaner punches where as Connor missed most of his and landed on the gloves.
Obviously you dont give a guy a round just because he made someone miss.

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.

Don't mind him. He's a McGregor fanboy and you're right about his lack of knowledge.

from what i saw, if mcg could have kept up that jab for 12 rounds, fight would have been very interesting...

And If he had wings he could fly. That would be very interesting too.

McGregor did well, probably was a legitimate punch he hurt Mayweather with in rnd 9 and who knows if the ref didn't jump in. But time to move on, enjoy the money. Mayweather will never return, and he's not entering the mma octagon either, as he knows he doesn't have a good chance of winning there.

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.

I know huh, Conor couldn't possibly have lost rds 1-3. No fkn way and two of the Vegas idiot judges gave Floyd two of those rounds. That should be sign enough that Vegas judges are either bought off or corrupt. Pitiful.

Last time I checked this fight didn't go to the scorecards.

Mcregor won first 5 rds. He beat himself all he had to go was keep the pace up for a split win

give me a break!

lol, floyd was literally laughing at him in the first round

[SthPaw]

He landed one or two nice shots and looked a little better than some people thought, that’s it. Nothing else too it.

Floyd knew he was going to gas and would slowly drown the higher the waters rose. So what did he do? Let him spend some energy for a few rounds and then started walking him down, forcing more energy. Eventually he was tried enough to be teed off on and hurt.

If you honestly think Conor genuinely out boxed/out thought/out smarted Floyd, you have no clue what you are looking at. None.
