Post fight seems to be expected. The people rooting against Mayweather are either: ignorant to boxing or racist. They are all over message boards and radio shows whenever Mayweather fights complaining he runs and are too fukking dumb or ignorant to know how to view the skill in what Floyd does. Seems like that is the motto for this fight.
It would be like a boxer fighting in MMA and boxing fans complaining that the MMA fighter didn't just want to square off and throw hands in the middle of the ring. fukk off. Sports have nuances and technique and Floyd showed that McGregor has none of it in a boxing ring. The thing is MMA fans may dislike boxing fans, but look at the facts. Boxing fans admit boxers won't win in a MMA fight. MMA fans aren't sure their fighters will lose in a boxing match. Respect starts to come when you realize you have no chance in a boxing ring.
@Newzz and
@O.T.I.S. are right. MMA fans don't realize how little respect Floyd had for Connor. Floyd never walks straight in with his hands up. Floyd's entire style is based on setting traps and countering. If Floyd walks you down without any defense that means he doesn't think you are shyt. Even vs. guys like Robert Guerrero who Floyd did his usual thing, started slow and gave up a round or two early, and then blanked every minute after, he still showed respect and played his strategy.
Even though I wasn't really for this fight to begin with, I kind of hope MMA fans are still making excuses with this fight and chase a GGG-Canelo winner. See what it is like to fight a guy who isn't 40, isn't defense first second and third, the same size, and actually sits down on their punches. Thing is, Conor is smart enough to realize it. There is a reason (other than money) he wanted a small WW in Floyd who fights his style, vs. a Canelo or GGG. He knows he would be carried out on a stretcher vs. those dudes.
