    Seeing him jump on the ropes was very strange lol
    yea he kind of did, since he only did a month of boxing training.

When they were fighting from the outside, McGregor with his length advantage was actually getting better of Floyd in moments. But once Floyd decided to use his high guard and walk McGregor down, it was over. McGregor couldn't handle the mental pressure and then Floyd just started to tee off on him late in the fight.

        Maybe Floyd didn't take training serious or the actual fight serious, but McGregor legitimately had a solid performance everything considered.
        I agree 100% man. McGreggor is a decent boxer. He fought Nate Diaz who is also a good boxer and sparring partner to Andre Ward at one time, and even gave Paulie a little trouble. He also trained a long time for Floyd, had multiple professional level sparring partners and hired Joe Cortez. Tenshin only trained a month and with that kind of preparation clearly underestimated Floyd and boxing in general and deserved to be blown away. He simply got overpowered and beat down and that is humiliating to any previously dominant combatant. Nobody had ever walked him down like that, crowded him and took him out. He underestimated an older, retired Floyd who barely trained for him.

          the mecgregor comparisons are ridiculous
          mcgregor is the same size as floyd, and had more reach than him
          tenshin fights 5 wgt classes below floyd and had nearly a 20cm reach disadvantage

          floyd would also get wobbled by a crusierwgts punch

            It wasn't even a particularly great performance from Floyd, any boxer who competes at a reasonable level and carries some power would have gotten the same results. The guy looked like he could move quite well and had fairly quick hands but he clearly had no power and his balance, defence and composure under fire were all atrocious. At the end of the day it's simply the kind of result you get when you pit a pro against an undersized novice. Anybody who spent money to watch that is a fool.

              I would have thought tenshin would have done better. Of course Floyd would beat me in under 2 minutes but you'd think tenshin, a training hard individual might have faired better.

                Great as in big, lol.

                Ofc Floyd is also a great boxer... but in this case he was mostly a big boxer, vs a small non-boxer.

                    More to the point.

                    He was truly huge.

                    And he is truly rich.

                    And now so am I so WTF?

                      So the kid was crying uncontrollably because he lost a staged fight? Or he's a great actor?
