Sorry. Kid got me riled up.

 

[SargerusBR]

You would know.

Dude....DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUDE...

 

[ForsakenLotus]

No matter how the fight went, Conor was never winning with the judges

And I have a problem with that. It should be judged fairly. I'd love to hear the explanation for how Floyd threw 5 and 6 punches in rounds one and two while McGregor actually landed some half decent shots and a judge only gave him one of the rounds.

There was never any doubt Mayweather would win, but man boxing is corrupt as hell. One of the reasons I don't watch it anymore.

 

[pixelation]

There's nothing to LOL at. Conor did WAY better than anyone expected.

Mayweather allowed for the match to last this long, he didn't want to let down the buyers. It's crystal clear that he could've finished the fight waaay earlier than he did.

 

[KenPokesBarbie]

The real story tonight is I wasted $100 on this fight. When twitch had 1000's of free streams going.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

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....

You can't believe that a guy who has gassed after two 5 minute rounds gassed after five 3 minute rounds?

 

[Nuu]

Is this what the MMA fans are rollin with?

I don't watch MMA.

 

[WhateverItTakes]

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

I'm gonna be curious to hear the betting figures.

So how long til Connor's back in the Octagon? He's got enough money to never need to but something will tempt him back.

 

[SolidSnakex]

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

It's a refs job to prevent a fighter from getting injured. Conor was done and some peoples bloodlust to see him laying unconscious on the mat isn't worth it.

 

[CrocoDuck]

What does fought like a Mexican mean?

It means he fought offensively. Toe-to-toe. Conor put a smile to my face when he said that. He knows what's up.

 

[lightskintwin]

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.

Nah, the gassing was predictable. MMA matches are 25 minutes, Boxing matches are 36 minutes.

You have to prepare your body for that, and there's no way if you've never been in a boxing match before yet alone fighting one of the all time greats who has never had stamina issues.

 

[jmizzal]

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....

He didnt get gassed as fast as other Mayweather opponents, which is why he lasted so long

 

[Hellraizah]

It's not much, but it was still easy money.

 

[adj_noun]

Ok, now bring in Thunderlips

 

[Violence Jack]

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

You don't let a tired boxer who couldn't defend himself anymore continue fighting.

 

[HariKari]

You would know.

Undercard redeemed.

 

[JABEE]

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....

Boxing is tiring as fuck.

 

[Popnbake]

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

Conor would have just taken more unnecessary damage to the head at that point.

I bet he's happy as fuck he gets paid and didn't get laid out.

 

[NoblesseOblige]

Who is this random guy y'all keep quoting?

 

[thetruth1983]

Solid fight, great effort from Conor.

Was obvious that Mayweather would take it for the past month but I sure started doubting it in the first few rounds.

It's a shame that such a disgusting piece of trash is 50-0 though.

And why is he disgusting?

 

[Godzilla's Left Toe]

So when are we going to see the Mayweather McGregor fight in the Octagon?

Never it would last 10 seconds Mayweather won't let his "aura die.

 

[HiiiLife]

Canelo vs GGG lesssgooo

 

[DontBeThatGuy]

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

How much brain damage down the line you looking to inflict?

 

[TuXx]

Alright casuals, I forgive you. This was entertaining, even though Floyd was gonna win regardless and McGregor still ain't shit.

 

[Nuu]

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.

What do you mean by "gifted first 3 rounds"? Even then so he still won other rounds which alone is surprising to me.

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.

Why would anyone bet on Conor? Lol.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

There's nothing to LOL at. Conor did WAY better than anyone expected.

He really didn't.

 

[Dmented]

People gonna look at "round 10" and say something stupid.

Floyd let it go that far, that was his gameplan. It's Mayweather, if he wanted to end it earlier he probably could of, it'd just be more risky. Tiring him out was a sound gameplan and it worked out.

Conor won the first three rounds, Floyd took it easy, figured him out and then won round 4-9 with the knockout in the 10th.

This. Why people even bring up the fact it went to the 10th, idk. Why people thought anything different would happen I also don't know. I didn't watch this because I knew it would end like this, let alone pay for it.

Will watch the real boxing match worth anything next month.

 

[Chuck Norris]

Nice one Conor. I think the clear takeaway is that 3 months is nowhere near enough time for a guy who struggles after 15 minutes. Did really well for the first 6-7 rounds.

Mayweather just an all time great. Earned the 50-0 in the way he has done throughout his career, intelligent boxing and gave the fans the fight worthy to end his career

Hopefully Conor does not continue the boxing experiment. He might be able to make a go of it but I think he'd need a solid year of training before he can

 

[Mix Master]

I wanted to see MCG hit the mat. dude was fucking gone.

 

[Deleted member 22576]

Is this aggression necessary?

lol

 

[Einchy]

And why is he disgusting?

Lol, are you seriously asking this?

 

[RecRoulette]

Well, damn. A lot more people saw McGregor as the "Great White Hope" than I expected. Lot of angry folks out there.

You would know.

Bruh.

 

[BronsonLee]

wtf why we doxing people's private photos

 

[Alligatorjandro]

No way Floyd stays retired

 

[Unknown Soldier]

Guys, Floyd got $100 million and Conor got $71 million for that farce. Think about this a moment, and realize how how unfair your life is.

 

[Latvian Hitman]

You can't believe that a guy who has gassed after two 5 minute rounds gassed after five 3 minute rounds?

Yep. I was shocked when Conor wasn't completely exhausted after the 3rd. Usually only takes him 8-10 minutes to turn into Zombie McGregor.

 

[Nekketsu Kõha]

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

Same shit happened with the Pac fight.

Yep I remember. In reality dude was hitting air, no clean shots and ruined his shoulders.

 

[LJ11]

Mayweather let him get those rounds. HIs corner said it plainly - wait until the 4th and turn on the juice. McGregor will be (and was) gassed by that point.

UFC's longest championship time is 25 minutes. McGregor got knocked out because he was just too tired to keep his hands up.

Anyone with any sense knew this would be the strategy, can't expect McGregor to last.

 

[Tekniqs]

yo! now we can get the full Conor/Paulie sparring footage!

 

[Syphon Filter]

No way Floyd stays retired

how come?

 

[Future PhaZe]

Guys, Floyd got $100 million and Conor got $71 million for that farce. Think about this a moment, and realize how how unfair your life is.

naw

i was entertained

 

[Chie Satonaka]

I wanted to see MCG hit the mat. dude was fucking gone.

Fucking RIGHT? That was crazy! He was all wobbly! I wanted that knockout SO BAD.

Ah well.

 

[JABEE]

They had to end that fight. Did you want to see McGregor die in the ring? He couldn’t defend himself.

 

[tribal24]

There's nothing to LOL at. Conor did WAY better than anyone expected.

I'm not even into boxing and i freaking knew mayweather was toying with him better my ass made a fool of himself.

 

[Ithil]

And why is he disgusting?

Boy oh boy.

 

[friskykillface]

It's not much, but it was still easy money.

Use that money to buy an snes classic

 

[Zantetsuken]

guy got banned with the quickness

 

[Godzilla's Left Toe]

And why is he disgusting?

He's a woman beater.

 

[mr2xxx]

McGregor won, he became a bigger star afterwards.

 

[Wazzy]

Disappointing Conor lost but that was an incredibly fun fight. Problem is as usual Conor gassed in later rounds and I had a bad feeling that if this went past 5 he would be too weak with his punches.
