Superstar
summary:
- McGregor did better than I expected so hats off, he's a tough mfer at the end of the day
- with that said I only gave him the first 2 clearly and then maybe the third but that was very close, could go ether way
- it was weird to see Mayweather as a pressure fighter, he was a little out of his element but got the job done
- the 2 years off and his age seemed on Mayweather, he was sloppier than before
- McGregor's gas tank couldn't keep up as it was expected
- McGregor has a pretty bad defense but had a good understanding of distance, he really can use his length and size, I mean he could in the first few rounds
- McGregor's chin was better than I thought, I thought if he's gonna get hit with punches with full body weight behind them also a lot more often and consistently than in MMA he's gonna fold earlier but he hung tough until the end.
- if McGregor gets a good conditioning coach and a legit boxing team and works a little more on understanding what not to do - like those hammer fists...-, he can hang around but I wouldn't pick him against any of the 154 or 160 pound champs right now. Those guys are a lot bigger than Floyd, also usually younger with more power too.
- Not really interested in McGregor vs Malignaggi, Malignaggi should stay retired
- I can see the winner of Canelo vs GGG against McGregor though, depending on how well Canelo vs GGG will do on PPV. If it does good numbers I can easily see them making it, there would be immense money in that fight especially if Canelo would beat GGG.
- the ref shoulda deduct a point from McGregor either for the hammer fists or for when he launched a combo from behind Floyd. Didn't seem malicious rather just a bad reflex but that should have been penalized
