Alaska Darin Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 But the stoppage was terrible, Connor was clearly aware and not taking unanswered shots. Your man crush on McGregor borders on disturbing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Barbarian Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 He hadn't thrown a punch in over a minute and it was the second time he was in big trouble. And ... How many punches did mayweather throw in the beginning? You're supposed to get a 10 count AFTER you get knocked down. Connor said it best, let me go down like a man.

Kirby Jackson Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 They stopped the fight because it stopped being competitive. He was down a bunch of rounds and just would have taken more punishment. It wasn't a bad stoppage. Connor did better than I expected but the superior boxer dominated (as expected). Floyd had a great game plan (as always). -125 for a Floyd KO?!?

Buffalo Barbarian Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 (edited) and also the idea that it was a friendly exhibition for both to get paid. Connor made more tonight than any other UFC fighter has probably made in a career. In a normal boxing match between 2 boxers the fight wouldn't have been stopped there I do agree with that I will never pay for another boxing match again, even if they have a rubber match, boxing is so boring. I barely paid attention to the other fights even though I tried. The Costa Rica guy pussed out when lightly grazed in the back of the head, I think he was tired of taking hard shots and wanted a cheap victory. Then that moron came in over weight losing his belt, idiot. Boxing is dead, this was their last hoorah , that arena was empty till the McGregor fight. This would never happen for MMA.

How is it a superior sport if their top guy just got his a$$ handed to him by a 40 year old from the lesser sport? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frostbitmic Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 If it was an MMA fight, McGregor would've won easily, you could tell he was uncomfortable with just boxing, a few times he looked like he wanted to throw Mayweather to the mat and ground n pound him. I'd like to see a rematch in the cage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was hammer-fisting Floyd. I swear the ref said "Hey, Conor, start boxing again." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, he got away with a few things which was to be expected, when you're out of your element you resort to what you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do realize that McGregor couldn't use 90% of his offense or defense under boxing rules, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo716 Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 It was a better fight than anyone could have hoped for. The last few rounds were nothing like mcgregors early flurry. Floyd was always composed and defending himself. Mcgregor was completely gassed and out of it. Lot of time left in the round and he would've been hurt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo Barbarian Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 No, he didn't. If I guy is not out on his feet then the ref needs to stay out. It was pretty clear there was some back door deal to stop the fight on a moments notice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wasn't defending himself,and was getting landed on. Lot of time left in the round too. Mcgregor was ALL SMILES after.. he wasn't mad because he knew he was just beat. He didn't feel cheated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
