Floyd Mayweather vs Conor McGregor - Saturday August 26th |OT| FOOK / YEAAAH

When someone is fighting one of the greatest boxers ever and has never fought a professional boxing fight, then making it out of the first couple of rounds is absolutely 'good'.

Conor was boxing the right guy tonight, as Floyd's natural style allowed Conor to survive longer than he might have vs more aggressive guys. But he survived to round 10, and that's absolutely a victory for him. He also never ran, ducked or hid, which is important.
Conor did pretty good for himself but he also got a reality check.

You can't honestly say you expected McGregor to go 9 rounds... I'd argue that's pretty damn good for a first time boxer fighting arguably the best lb for lb boxer there is.

Floyd fighting the way he did, yes. He toyed with him. He carried Conor to 10 rounds. Floyd was grinning and fucking around the entire fight.

No way would they have let McGregor get KOed. Fight was basically a stroll to get that 50. Both these dudes played everyone to get that money.

As expected. I was hoping Conor would just pull some mma move and KO Mayweather. I'd love to see how Mayweather would fare in the octagon. 1st round KO for sure but that will never happen. We got real boxing coming up next month so this was fun to watch.

Mayweather didnt "run" this fight. He stood toe to toe and traded bombs. Connor showed alot of heart.
Im glad the ref stopped the fight, he may have saved Connor from brain damage 25 years down the road.

I don't think Floyd is giving anyone brain damage, but I guess Conor was gassed enough to get pummeled.

I was hoping they would have trained for this, but it appears not.
 
Why are people talking about what wouldve happened if a boxer was in the mma? That is a what if scenario. Lets deal with what actually happened.
Connor Lost
Floyd won
50-0
Deal wit it :)
