    Was the undercard good?

      Best shot was Moseley flooring him.
      Mayweather had to make it interesting. It was so fkn obvious to real boxers.

        Floyd was turning his back all the time though...

        Against an amateur boxer.

          McGregor's punches are laughable.

          Some of the worst I've ever seen.

              Misspoke. He hit him hard and Floyd held on tight

                  That clip makes Floyd look like a battered spouse.

                    lol He was turning his back and putting his hands up for dear life while Conor was punching him. Floyd fought scared.

                      I know this position my not be shared by many on here.... but as someone that has boxed and dabbled in Muay Thai and MMA.... this fight (and this sequence in particular) made me question some rules in boxing, and I do think that a few tweaks would improve the sport.
                      I am a Mayweather fan... I think he is the greatest boxer of my/his generation and was lucky enough to see him box from ringside... BUT, this sequence/fight really highlights a problem with boxing.... and that's 'turning your back' or 'not facing your opponent'.
                      Take a fighter like Loma for example - his feet are so fast that he can pivot around you, leaving you facing the other way.... why should Loma be punished for that???
                      In my opinion shots to the back of the head should always be illegal.... but if your feet don't move fast enough to keep your opponent in front of you and he gets around the back of you.... I don't see what is wrong with hitting someone from behind IF you're only hitting them around the side of the head.
                      I would love to see more referees allow the boxing to continue when a boxer 'gets the back' of the other.... and I would love refs to allow more in-fighting involving pushing each other's arms out of the way to land shots etc (when in the clinch).
