Mcgregor Mayweather

Of course he's gonna say that was the plan lol makes it seem better that way. I believe he may have conserved his energy early, but he wasn't trying to lose any rounds and he did. Nobody gives rounds up on purpose.

 

You'd have a point.... IF Floyd didn't say it BEFORE the fight. There's a difference between purposely losing rounds and have a game plan that extends past the first few rounds. When Connor said he'd knock Floyd out inside 4 rounds Floyd knew he'd come out swinging and tire himself out. All this was said pre fight.

I know you'll keep defending and defending and defending. You wouldn't admit Connor had a crappy game plan and played right into Floyd's. But that don't matter. Think what you want and make any excuses you want. Your guy lost. And allot of what you see as a positive on Connors part is what lead to his loss.

 

He didn't fight reckless, his game plan wasn't bad, he got tired, had an adrenaline dump, whatever. It wasn't because he was over aggressive, I actually thought he was calm and collected compared to his MMA fights.

And you're missing the big picture that a boxer who was 49-0 nearly lost to a guy who was 0-0 and from another sport. If Conor knew how to hold on to recover and grind out the last couple rounds he can win that fight, that's if the judges were being honest, which they weren't.

Floyd won but it wasn't a walk in the park for him. He was in trouble more than once in the fight.

 

Actually there was a guy who did just this. Out of his prime. Fought a monster named George. I think his name was Ali. Called it the rope a dope.

Anyone who can't see that Mayweather had this fight figured out from day one is a dope too. He let the child gas out and then took him behind the shed and it ended when he felt like getting another lap dance.End of story.

Anyone who paid 100 clams to see it happen well, they say one is born every minute.

 

Sounds good to compare it to the rope a dope but I'm not buying that. If Conor was an accomplished boxer like George I would buy that, but he was making his pro boxing debut. He didn't take 111 punches from a guy who is 0-0 on purpose, sorry. He should have been able to take him out early or out class him from bel to bell, and he didn't, not by choice, but because Conor is that talented.

 

Dude. The fan boy sh!t is getting crazy... I actually had to go back and watch the fight again after reading all this to see if I was too drunk last night but it was the same. Connor didn't win at round after 3. Floyd did exactly what he said he would do. Wear him out then finish him.
Connor won 6-7 rounds??? You're tripping. He had no shot. He landed a good body shot but that's it.... he's lucky they wore 8oz gloves. 1 oz heavier and he wouldn't have been able to lift his hands off the floor. The ref did stop it early but that only saved Connor the view from the canvas

 

I call it how I see it. I gave McGregor rounds 1-4, 5 was close and could go either way, 6 was close but we'll say it was Floyd, 7 went to Floyd, 8 was McGregor, 9 was Mayweather but I still say ref saved Floyd early in the round and it ended up costing Conor the round and possibly the fight, round 10 was Floyd but again Conor could have survived the round, he never went down, Coralles went down 5 times against Floyd. So worst case Conor got 5 rounds but it could easily be 6 rounds. 7 may be a stretch, I'll give you that.

 

We saw different fights. Best case is Conor won 1,2,3. Lost 4-9 and gave up in the 10.

Saying he controlled the fight is like saying the Trojans won the initial battle by bringing the horse in to Troy.... Floyd had a plan, followed it and Conor took the bait. Pro vs amateur.

I would have won over 2k of Conor won so wanted so bad for him to shock me... but unfortunately it went according to script

 

You're tripping if you didn't give Conor the 8th round. And I think it's fair to split rounds 5-6 between them since they were so close. Conor won round 4 as well despite Floyd starting to pressure more, Conor did enough in the round to win it. I watched it twice now and was sober both times. No money on the fight, calling it with my brain not my heart.

 

Going into the 10th Mayweather landed over 50 more punches.

 

Having a big 7th and 9th round accounts for most of that I believe.

 

You guys ever been to the fights in person? A whole different experience. I took my kid back in December and it was one of those deals where it was a bunch of good fighters going against garbage to pad their records. One guy's face flat out exploded from an uppercut, and one guy got knocked out cold. The guy that got knocked out just laid in the ring for about 7 minutes without a single person checking on him. People in the ring were flat out stepping over him. Finally only because they wanted to start the next slaughter did they drag him out. Man it was brutal.

 

Conor never had a shot and he knew it. He's just happy for the pay day and can now go back to what he's good at... Floyd has "no power and brittle hands" and if if wasn't for the ref saving his arse he would have been KO'd and may have never been the same.
He's got his $100M and every sucker that bought the crap he was selling paid for it.. funny that some people were actually so easily sold and believed he had a shot.

2 facts came out of the fight... Floyd did exactly what he said he would. Conor did not

 

Incorrect. The 9th was the only round that mayweather landed a lot more than any other round. Round after round of losing is what accounted for Conor landing far less shots

They both landed 16 in round 4, but mayweather landed at a much better percentage. From there on Mayweather dominated.

 

Yeah I've been to the UFC live before, I met Brian Stann and Chael Sonnen actually. What you went to doesn't sound like a UFC event, sounds like a local MMA promotion lol

 

You're high if you saw it that way. Sorry, but Conor won at minimum half of the rounds. I still give him 6 rounds if you split round 5-6 between them. Nobody dominated those two rounds. Even if you give Mayweather both 5-6 then Mcgregor still has 5 rounds. Agree to disagree here cause it's a matter of opinion when the rounds are close.

NYNJ and peajay get it.

Its funny how pre fight all i heard was....8oz gloves! Connors going to win.... Connor has knock out power, if he lands a hard left Floyd is done.... Connors ready to go 12 rounds at a high pace.... Connors bigger... Connors got youth on his side.... yada yada yada. Post fight, not one mention of any of these "advantages".

Dana white said he doesn't want Connor boxing. He was a little vague in his answer. But when asked if he would promote and support Connor boxing again, he didn't say yes. Dana being a boxing guy, i wonder if he sees what DP can't see. Connor would need to start at the bottom to really learn the game. Can't just get in there and fight top boxers. It's just a thought.

 

And as far as the fight getting stopped early. I went back and re watched. He ate a solid 3 or 4 heavy shots, wasn't defending himself. That's the sport. Its not a street fight. Its not a fight to the death. He wasn't defending. That's game over. Don't watch the last 10 seconds, watch the last 30-45 seconds. Connors head gets snapped back quite a few times

 

I think they are both bad muthas
