Let this be a lesson. You can't hang with a world class boxer in his sport.

    Look how Ronda Rousey actually deluded herself into thinking she could hang with Holly Holm's striking.
    Too bad Holly was not 5 weights smaller.

    And did Holly put in a no kicking clause in?

      That's on Tenshin and his people. They shouldn't have been so arrogant as to think fighting Floyd under boxing rules would be a good idea.

        Pretty sure it was a negotiation. Or do you think they came in with the demand of boxing only?


        If you pay hookers enough money you beat them to a pulp.

        Doesn't mean you should do that or that some people should defend those that do?

        Is there nothing you wont' do for money?


        If Floyd fought a 12 year old school girl that demanded to fight Floyd would you also defend it?

        Just want to see where you line is?

        What about a blind guy?

            Other way around Floyd shouldn't have been so scared as to think a fighter 4" shorter and realistically 20 lbs lighter shouldn't have been allowed to throw in some kicks to balance things out.

            Tenshin only being allowed to box would be like asking a boxer to fight with one hand around his back. No one would think that's a fair fight.

              The Japanese were the ones throwing money at Floyd for this. They believed Tenshin was a martial arts prodigy who was the most gifted combat athlete in their country.

              Well, guess what? They just got a dose of hard reality. None of that meant anything against an elite boxer under boxing rules.

                Mayweather doesn't deserve props for choosing to fight MMA fighters in a boxing only rule-set.

                If he let Tenshin do kicks at least it could have been competitive.
                50yr old Ray Mercer knocked out 30yr Sylvia on 6days notice lol. Heather Hardy ended Rousey. A boxer can do it in MMA because all it takes is one punch.

                  It's true.

                  Conor genuinely believed he just needed to catch Floyd clean and it'd be over, like he was some biscuit chin UFC Featherweight. He hit him with a flush uppercut and Floyd didn't blink.

                  Even this kid today, i think he believed in his record and knockout record and think his speed and punching could get to Floyd.

                  Great to have the self belief but maybe now some people will start to be realistic about it. Then again, even McGregor's coach still doesn't realise Floyd carried his man, so i don't know.

                  I've seen UFC fans today calling out for Floyd v Khabib. Floyd should do it and take him out in a round or two. He could've done that to McGregor if he had actually thrown shots from the start.
