Also, expect lots of moral victory posts on social media. "Conor went 10 rounds with one of the best! He didn't even go down!" etc

I said that was going to happen earlier on. I said Floyd had to knock Conor out at least within the first 4 rounds otherwise his stanbase is going to hand him a "w" because he lasted so long.

I'm being nice because I enjoyed the fight
i mean, that's cool

here's the thing - mayweather took this fight about as seriously as mj does a 1 on 1 game with his son

mayweather was chilling in the most dangerous part of the ring, right in the mcgregors face. connor had to throw out of self-defense and reflex, but there wasn't a single conventional shot that hurt or threatened mayweather to the point of moving

shyt was kind of a joke, and wild disrespectful imo. at the same time, mayweather extended the fight clearly by not cutting mcgregor off, not finishing dead to rights combinations, not taking that right straight that was there for him all night, not tearing his insides up with those trash hold attempts, etc

i enjoyed the fukkery too, but the boxing fan in me was waiting for the mayweather dive instead of anything else.

Mayweather did exactly what you can do to a guy who might have suspect stamina. Pressure. Mayweather doesn't usually just walk forward and cut off the ring exactly like that but the man knows what he is doing in the ring. Plus Money May has a good chin that shyt isn't glass so just pressure and gas em out. :manny:

Here's how you shut up anyone who presents you with some bullshyt narrative about how well Conor legitimately did against a boxing great:

Tell them to watch the fight twice more. Once while only watching McGregor, and once while only watching Mayweather. When watching Conor, tell them to note the types of punches that Conor throws, the power on those punches, and the form on those punches as the fight progresses. Tell them to note Conor's movement, as well as how his wind holds up round-by-round. Tell them to note how everything basically falls off a cliff for Conor after round 6 or so.

When watching Mayweather, tell them to note that Conor's best shot came in the first round (the left uppercut) and Floyd walked through it to the extent that you wouldn't have noticed it if it hadn't been replayed. Tell them to note that, at times, Floyd is not only defending Conor's shots, but as times deliberately taking his punches just to show him that Conor's power isn't affecting him at all. Tell them to note that, for all of Conor's "work," Floyd looked like he had a light run before a sparring match. And tell them to note that, when Floyd decided that he'd had enough of this exhibition (because that's really what this was, not a legitimate boxing match), he just put his hands up, walked through his shots with zero fear, and just beat on him to his heart's content.

If they do not notice this, they are idiots and cannot be helped. Conor didn't do as badly as everyone thought, but let's all be honest: it went exactly as long as Floyd wanted it to.

Entertaining fight..Floyd finally gave me my money's worth. McGregor held his own which surprised me, he will definitely be boxing again..could be one of the biggest and well paid in the sport.

:camby: dude was gassed against a 40 yo, he didn't even win his 2nd to last MMA fight. The next boxer knocks him out clean and early
