funny thing is that cac didn't do nothing to tire himself out. it's not like he was crazy active. he just didn't have the boxing gas tank. can't really blame cac cuz this is his first fight. floyd knew it. he knew connor is a walking dead meat after round 6 or so
He was spending a lot of energy trying to make angles and throwing punches just to throw them. Also he was eating body punches

Connor was already going down at 2:14 but he was able to get into a clinch to save him

And your right can't believe people wanted another two min of this, Floyd knew he was done and would have kept on unleashing


Folks wanted Connor brain damaged like Arturo gatti


Edit-There was still two minutes left, the ref saved him from going to the hospital.

He over here basically saying he isnt counting this fight as a victory for this to be 50-0. He's putting an asterisk and saying in his mind Floyd is still 49.

His comparison is, he cant gone on a basketball court or football field and play with the top athletes and there is a process to get to the level one has to get to to be the best

Some other mumbo jumbo BS

Some post fight thoughts:

Initially I thought the fight was stopped too soon, but after watching on replay it was stopped at the right time. Part of me really wanted to see Conor hit the mat. MMA fans need to realize that MMA and boxing are different. In boxing this was a very typical stoppage. If you are continually being hit with punches, they are landing clean, you have some level of being hurt, and you aren't returning offense, the fight will be stopped. By not fighting back you have in fact quit or shown you cannot continue under boxing rules.

For those MMA fans who wanted Conor to be given the chance to take more punishment and basically be forced to lose the fight by a KO, that is an old fashioned way of thinking. With what we know now about brain trauma and CTE, taking constant punishment to the head (even if it doesn't appear to hurt the person) is more dangerous than taking a single big shot. In football everyone is concerned about the one big shot that leads to a concussion...but it is being proven that the smaller continuous hits someone takes are far more damaging.

I still can never get over the fact how people convinced themselves that Conor was going to win the fight. I have a boxing co-worker who is a boxing fan and he new Conor was getting fukked up, but my other co-worker who was more in for the event itself and although he never said he was a McGregor fan, you could tell he knew more about Conor than McGregor and he kept saying he thought Mayweather would probably win, but he had to watch because there was just something about McGregor that gave him a lot of doubt Mayweather would win. I tried to school him a bit and realized the rationale behind how boxing works wasn't connecting and he was buying into the punchers chance and McGregor is a good athlete shyt. It was disgusting. :scust:
I mean, there's always the puncher's chance

but that uppercut he landed early was trash as fukk. Mayweather should've been gunshy as fukk after 3 years on the bench, old as fukk, and hearing about this knockout artist in MMA. There wasn't a single fukk given to anything Conor threw outside of one irritating bodyshot in round 5 or 6 I think. Conor's power isn't real in the world of boxing. There was a chance that it was due to his amateur boxing past but.... naw, it just wasn't a factor.

you know the truth is mac is a boxer who went and ran the fukk through the mma game jahahahahaa
boxing is the core more mma stans need to pay their dues to
mac barely kicks and barely grapples

knuckle game is important

This is what gets me. MMA fans shyt on McGregor and say he has no ground game and wins his fights because of his stand-up game. They make excuses if their guy couldn't get McGregor on the ground or when talking about potential matchups talk about how their fighter will get McGregor on the ground and the fight will be over.

Put McGregor vs. a guy who specializes in just stand up fighting with his hands and he got KO'd, unlike any of Floyd's last opponents for years.
