Again, both humans are self promoting bastards, but you people defending Conor's ass kicking are just wrong. He didn't really do well at all, but he got paid...all that matters.

Conor got his ass kicked boxing. They weren't in the octagon, so the rules there are irrelevant. He was getting his head bashed in, so the fight was called. There was plenty of time left for 2-3 more blows, but the fight was over.

Floyd literally goes 12 rounds almost every time he fights, so playing with McGregor for <10 rounds is actually a huge deviation from a typical Mayweather fight. That's why people sayin "Conor did great" are stupid and have never watched a Mayweather fight. Mayweather controlled the entire fight, exectued a plan, and knocked out a guy for the first time in 10 years. He's also 40 and looks like he took a nap all day when the fight was over.

Conor got worked and Floyd wasn't even trying, when he actually started trying he demolished him in just one round, the fight went exactly like most people thought it would minus the ones that bought into what the people that were trying to sell the fight were selling them on. If they fought again and Floyd goes at him from the start the fight will only last a round or two.

floyd doesnt have knock out power.
Now ref plays a big part in any match.

Conor faces seem cleaned for such beating he took from Flyod.

10 rounds with professional boxer

Yes. And thats because there are rules in boxing that refs must abide by. He wasn't the greatest ref, as he let a lot of the rabbit punches/hammer fists to the back of the head go. But he ultimately did what he should do, which is to protect a fighter from a potentially dangerous future outcome. Mcgregor did not fight back in that 9th round when Floyd was teeing off on his head. His face didn't show any damage? Ever think about brain damage/CTE?

Fans got an exciting fight, Mcgregor got out-classed, Floyd didn't look too good (but he fought a different style of fight than what we're accustomed to) so this could go both ways (as his goal was to stop Mcgregor), and both fighters got paid. Everybody won.

And as much as I hate Floyd as a boxer, I can't help but respect what he does. He fights to win, according to the rules of boxing. He doesn't have KO power as he has 'soft hands' as he's mentioned. He gets hit less, lands more punches than his opponent, and lets the judges hand him a win. After his last fight with Berto, Berto said something that was pretty interesting. He mentioned that Floyd never really expends energy (as he knows its going distance), and after a while he figured out that Floyd was making him expend more and more energy. And Floyd always knew how much time was left in each round, and was never breathing hard at all. As much as everyone hates him, he got to 49-0 by playing by the rules, as unexciting the journey may have been for boxing fans.

Again, have you ever watched a Mayweather fight? He literally goes 12 rounds almost every single time. Conor last 9 rounds and Floyd threw like 10 punches in the first 2.

Floyd probably wouldn't knock out anyone that fights for a living in 2-3 rounds. Just not what he does and he's the best fighter, maybe ever.

McGregor lasting 9 rounds really had not thing to do with him and everything with Mayweather executing a plan. He didn't want to make a stupid mistake and get knocked out by Conor, who can throw a punch.

Floyd has never been beaten and it was NOT EVEN close against McGregor who is 11 years younger, bigger, stronger, etc.

Conor got his ass handed to him and Floyd literally controlled the fight from start to finish. I counted 1-2 decent hits from Conor the entire fight.

[Mr Pete]

It's funny how the announcers were so shocked when Mcgregor actually landed a few jabs. Fighting in the pocket, even a world class fighter like Floyd will get hit, particularly when he's feeling out an opponent and gathering data. But all night, Mcgregor hit more air and gloves than Floyds face. And when he did hit Floyd when fighting inside, zero power, as all his power seems to be when he's fully extended (that straight left he throws). Im sure floyds team knew this, so they took the fight inside. And Floyd can take a punch, slip punches, so this fight was over before it began. Takes a lot of years to umderstand how to land shots with power in the pocket.

of course he can go 12 rounds dancing around since he cant knock out his opponent...i would do same

if Mayweather enter the octagon with Conor, who will win?

Conor is not a boxer

[AlpineBoost]

^ Two things are certain, that fight will never happen (for too many reasons to list) and Conor would not spend 75% of the fight in the same manner that Floyd spends a lot of his matches. In that cage there is no where to run.

There is nothing wrong with it, as it's smart boxing and obviously wins boxing matches. I think of Floyd as more of a survivor than a fighter. Regardless, at the end of the day he's 50-0 and won't suffer the same long term affects that a lot of other boxers do.

My guess is Floyd would be just another guy to hit the deck in Round 1. Not as quick as Aldo or some of Conor's early opponents, but I'd give him to around the 4 minute mark 😱

[nyalpine90]

only reason Conor step in the ring was for $$$$.
he was going to make so much more compare to PPV at UFC fight.
Floyd knew that if he can get Conor in the ring he would make more $$$ in that fight then the rest of the fights he ever had.
Conor walked out with 30mil and Floyd with 100 mil, and that is not the end of it. Still more money coming in from all revenues, ppv % and sponsorship.

[AlpineBoost]

^ no doubt. Conor is on track to earn around $125 mil and Floyd around $375 million 😅💵💵💵🇺🇸🇮🇪

He's 50-0...don't make it sound like he just "dances around" to 50-0.

You don't watch boxing.

AGAIN, they weren't and never will fight in the octagon. So irrelevant and now you're just starting to sound butt hurt.

If Conor isn't a boxer, WHY were so many people so sure he'd win? People bet real money that Conor (a non boxer) would beat and knock out a 49-0 boxing master. Then he loses and the McGregor people completely change their argument.

Now, there are 2 Conor arguments.

1) "Oh, McGregor won 4 rounds and went 10 with the best boxer ever. I'm Proud of him." (Conor was knocked out, something Floyd hasn't done more than once in 10 years and only went 9.5 rounds, easily could have been 8.5. Floyd literally goes 12 rounds with almost every opponent. Only a handful have been <12 in his entire career. So Conor was actually one of the worst performers Floyd has seen (and Floyd is 40).

2) "WELL LET'S SEE FLOYD IN THE OCTAGON!!!" These same people actually thought McGregor would knock Mayweather out and have now pivoted to this stupid argument.

I would do the same....says guy from his couch

why do people not like people that are a million times more successful at what they do for a living than they are at what they themselves do for a living??? Floyd is undefeated at PROFESSIONAL BOXING dude, what are you undefeated at???

Less than 2 mins before he is begging the ref for no more leg kicks to his little pencil legs.

+1000 lol.

[IndotagSwizz]

I don't get why people are so sour that Conor lost..

[1MOREMOD]

Is anyone sour. I didn't expect connor to win but hoped he would anyways

The difference here is Conor claimed he could beat the best in boxing in a boxing ring. I don't remember Floyd ever saying he could beat the best in MMA in an MMA ring. No boxer thinks he can beat an MMA fighter in an octagon, and if he does he's as delusional as the aikido nuts.

Not sure why you're so salty, your boy walked away with 9 figures and at no point was ever really hurt. Conor seems happier about his loss than you are.

And let's not forget he KO'd the big show in a wrestling ring, so boxing beats grappling.
