Floyd timed this shit out and Conor knew it but went along for the ride because why not

Less a work and more of a 'you know how this is gonna go, but it's worth the check'

 

[FTF]

Fuuuck no nobody tryna see murder



GAF is ruthless sometimes dammmnn

lol

 

[sooperkool]

McGregor should fight Canelo and see what happens.

Canelo? He couldn't handle Amir Khan, why don't you just say fight GGG in order to see a murder.

 

[Ithil]

CM Punk was nearly 40 fighting a young man, Conor is a young man fighting a guy that was 40.

I think there's a tad more to it than this.

 

[Officerrob]

So what was the point of that fight?

To fatten Floyd and Conor's pockets with the money of suckers

 

[btrboyev]

As far as I'm considered Conor won. He managed to last 9 rounds in a sport he doesn't even play. I'm surprised things went past round 3.

They are both winners.

 

[ash321]

Two of the judges had Floyd winning 2 of the first 3 rounds? How? Floyd threw like 5 punches each of those rounds...

He award the guy who doesn't do hammer fist and try a take down....

 

[shwimpy]

Big Dave Meltzer has spoken

truly a mark.

 

[Barrett2]

In terms of justifying the payday, seems like just going 10 rounds is basically a success for Conor?f Hell of a (purported) payday for both of them.

 

[Jerm411]

Cannot believe McGregor gassed....I thought he'd have the stamina and that'd be the thing he'd have for sure but not the skill....

 

[Hidden One]

The funny thing is, Mayweather gave McGregor the first 3 rounds to make McGregor fans happy and then completely walked him down and outclassed him LOOOOOOL.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

Man, when was the last time Floyd looked like he was in a fight? Feel like it's been awhile.

Connor a real one good sht to him. He's taking home like 50mil+ so it's not a total loss

Mayweather 50-0 and another $100mill?

They both win in my book. The people that lost were the ones that bet on Connor I guess

when it comes to dollars and cents (and sense), nobody in that ring lost tonight.

[googly]

I don't know about that stoppage, sure he was tired, but let them finish it.

 

[GrizzleBoy]

You know what, I'm willing to believe that Malignaggi fucked Conor up at least a little in sparring...

 

[abuC]

THE FUCKING GLOVES. CAN YOU STOP SAYING STUPID SHIT. KTHNX

[Nuu]

They are both winners.

Yes because they both get paid.

 

[ShooterMcGavin]

Implying he fought dirty...


A dirty Mexican, if you will....

Jesus Christ.

 

[Drey1082]

Unlike mayweather - pac, that was actually entertaining. Mcgregor gave a good fight at the beginning and Floyd looked slower than I've see him which I guess isn't that surprising.

It all came down to stamina. Conor came out swinging trying to get that knockout and win those early rounds but the fatigue got him.

I won some easy money so I'm happy. Have to say I was concerned after the first three rounds.

 

[F34R]

Pretty impressed with CMg, but I knew this was going the way it did. Gotta show some respect for him for sure.

Good stoppage. Didn't need to let him take any more shots like that.

 

[friskykillface]

But can Floyd beat Triple H?

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

I think there's a tad more to it than this.

There's plenty more to it, but let's be honest with ourselves.

 

[Skyr]

LoL @ the people implying racism with the mexican comment. some people are just desperate.

 

[Nekketsu Kõha]

Judges standing up for the sport of boxing.

Or casuals and MMA fans still don't even know how boxing works and have bad eye sight.

 

[bonchooski]

I don't know about that stoppage, sure he was tired, but let them finish it.

if Connor was an established boxer the ref would t have stopped it, he showed McGregor mercy in that stoppage.

 

[Eleuin]

McGregor should fight Canelo and see what happens.

die?

 

[darkside31337]

Man, when was the last time Floyd looked like he was in a fight? Feel like it's been awhile.

It's been like 2 years and hes 40. He looked old. People are giving him way too much credit.

 

[Alter_Fridge]

INSOID FUEERRRR ROUNDS!

 

[Wallach]

I don't know about that stoppage, sure he was tired, but let them finish it.

The stoppage was borderline late. Conor was dim.

 

[DeathPeak]

I can't tell if people believed they were actually trying to box or not.

 

[JABEE]

Floyd went with a strategy that would give a better fight

 

[HiiiLife]

As far as I'm considered Conor won. He managed to last 9 rounds in a sport he doesn't even play. I'm surprised things went past round 3.

Is this what the MMA fans are rollin with?

 

[Doctor_Thomas]

Literally went the way I think anyone would have predicted, this wasn't a fight, it was an exhibition.

Mayweather let McGregor win the first few rounds just to feel him out and then let him tire himself out. Mayweather didn't even really need to go on the attack for most of it. It was a boring fight because it was a boring set up - a professional vs an amateur is never going to be exciting. All the excitement was the build up and both guys running their mouths.

 

[norinrad]

Most of you do not understand what happened. Floyd allowed the fight to last that long so McG could save face.

 

[scorcher59]

Things are looking grim but I still think McGregor can take this.

11-0 for mayweather but I still think Conor can do it.

 

[DopeyFish]

I don't know about that stoppage, sure he was tired, but let them finish it.

Conor wasn't just tired. He wasn't able to defend himself at that point. Mayweather could have killed him.

 

[Yopis]

As far as I'm considered Conor won. He managed to last 9 rounds in a sport he doesn't even play. I'm surprised things went past round 3.

This stuff is sad. He lost but still won? He was gifted first three rounds. 40 year old man after 2 year layoff and got saved from ko.

 

[Fuzzy]

AMC just started Rocky V now. Sad thing is I'll probably enjoy watching that more than this fight. Think about that for a moment, Rocky V.

 

[Nerokis]

Cannot believe McGregor gassed....I thought he'd have the stamina and that'd be the thing he'd have for sure but not the skill....

They're related.

 

[Ithil]

This. Mayweather was making a toy of his pasty Irish ass the whole match. The better man won, and the man that needed a good humbling got laid the fuck out appropriately. He was never up to Mayweathers level. Ill give credit where it's due though, McGregor put up more of a fight than I anticipated. Lasting ten rounds against the best boxer in the world is something to be very proud of.....

Spoiler

He can hold that heavy ass L though while he's on the mend. He earned it.

Is this aggression necessary?

 

[Kusagari]

Or casuals and MMA fans still don't even know how boxing works and have bad eye sight.

Casual fans just see a dude throwing a lot of punches and think he's dominating.

Same shit happened with the Pac fight.

 

[cr_blah_blah]

Now I just want that CM Punk vs Mayweather MMA fight people were joking about recently.

 

[Draper]

But can Floyd beat Butterbean??

 

[hamchan]

As far as I'm considered Conor won. He managed to last 9 rounds in a sport he doesn't even play. I'm surprised things went past round 3.

They both won since they making like $100 million+ while both keep their reputations intact.

The only people who lost are the ones who paid $100 and those who bet on Conor for some reason lol.

 

[Latvian Hitman]

Connor a real one good sht to him. He's taking home like 50mil+ so it's not a total loss

Mayweather 50-0 and another $100mill?

They both win in my book. The people that lost were the ones that bet on Connor I guess

More like $300 million for Floyd and $100 million for Conor. Give or take, depending upon PPV buys and what not.

 

[Wishmaster92]

Implying he fought dirty...


A dirty Mexican, if you will....

Lol this fucking post

 

[Tubie]

This was a far better fight than Floyd-Manny or Floyd-Canelo.

And I never imagined I would say that before tonight.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

I don't know about that stoppage, sure he was tired, but let them finish it.

he doesn't get laid out (he was about to be), and he gets to keep his pride a PR window to say, "i could have made it to the end!"

It was the best possible outcome for Connor.

 

[MrS]

But can Floyd beat Triple H?

Given HHH weighs four times more than Floyd, all signs point to no

 

[Farsi]

LoL @ the people implying racism with the mexican comment. some people are just desperate.

We have alot of new fans watching tonight. I would say most of them don't know the boxing lingo so you can't blame them.
