4merper4mer Posted August 27, 2017 Posted August 27, 2017 Are you that dumb? Can't argue with the logic you laid out there clearly demonstrating MMA's superiority. I guess the a$$ beating was a fluke.
Gugny Posted August 27, 2017 Posted August 27, 2017 (edited) 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. He was out on his feet. Clearly. If you want to see a fixed stop, then google Richard Steele stopping Meldrick Taylor with 2 seconds left in the final round. A decision over Chavez was imminent. McGregor was not defending himself and there was no standing 8 count to fall back on. It was a perfect stop. Edited August 27, 2017 by Gugny

McGregor was not defending himself and there was no standing 8 count to fall back on. It was a perfect stop. I agree. I found a stream through YouTube Live and McGregor was done. He looked gassed at the end of the 8th. That he made it to the 10th was impressive. Ref did the right thing. It was funny watching hoe McGregor's instincts sometimes were to wrap Floyd up and slam him. It was a fun viewing novelty. If Connor had more behind his punches in the first three rounds, it could of been an upset for the ages. It was cool but I'm glad I didn't pay for it.
buffaloboyinATL Posted August 27, 2017 Posted August 27, 2017 What will generate interest for a rematch next year? Mayweather knocking out McGregor early certainly won't. So that won't happen. A McGregor knockout - regardless of round - would practically necessitate a rematch. A late-round Mayweather knockout COULD generate interest (hey, McGregor hung in there for a while ...) A fight going the distance would obviously do it, but it would be way too obvious that it's fixed. I think Mayweather knocks McGregor out sometime after Round 8. But earlier in the fight, McGregor has Mayweather "in trouble." good call. I did buy the fight and had fun watching it.

If Connor had more behind his punches in the first three rounds, it could of been an upset for the ages. It was cool but I'm glad I didn't pay for it. Connor has shown to have stamina issues in MMA. Diaz beat him the first time when he nothing left and Connor was just hanging on for the last third of Diaz II. Not sure why his team thought he'd be able to go 12 rounds with a boxer who has gone the distance many times and is known for being the best conditioned fighter in the sport.
Gugny Posted August 27, 2017 Posted August 27, 2017 good call. I did buy the fight and had fun watching it. Thank you, sir.
GoBills808 Posted August 27, 2017 Posted August 27, 2017 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. You don't get that option if you can't keep your hands up. It was a fine stoppage, and entirely predictable.
KermitMcDermott Posted August 27, 2017 Posted August 27, 2017 Well, there had to be at least one Conor peen rider who can't accept that he had no business taking a boxing fight against Floyd...
John from Riverside Posted August 27, 2017 Posted August 27, 2017 Can't argue with the logic you laid out there clearly demonstrating MMA's superiority. I guess the a$$ beating was a fluke. To be fair....this was a boxing match If McGregor had started kicking him or taken him to the ground how do you think this would have worked out?
GoBills808 Posted August 27, 2017 Posted August 27, 2017 To be fair....this was a boxing match If McGregor had started kicking him or taken him to the ground how do you think this would have worked out? It would have been over in the first minute if they had been using MMA rules. No doubt in my mind.
KermitMcDermott Posted August 27, 2017 Posted August 27, 2017 Floyd would never step in a octagon cause he knows he doesn't belong there. And they can't meet his pay.
Buffalo716 Posted August 27, 2017 Posted August 27, 2017 Well, there had to be at least one Conor peen rider who can't accept that he had no business taking a boxing fight against Floyd... Yea my one friend... He thinks it was super close and Conner only lost cus he got gassed... Not because he only hit Floyd 25% or because Floyd hit him over 50% and closed his eye pretty much... Round 4-10 Floyd completely stalked his prey
John from Riverside Posted August 27, 2017 Posted August 27, 2017 Floyd would never step in a octagon cause he knows he doesn't belong there. And they can't meet his pay. I have no doubt of that.... I think I was responding to someone trying to say boxing overmatches MMA It really doesnt....most fights go to the ground when your really scrapping......the MMA guy has all the advantages in the real world Mayweater is a smart cat....he made sure there was no danger of this. Still....props to Conner for hanging as long as he did.......

Comparing two sports is dumb, which is why most people thought last night's fight was dumb. Entertaining for sure, but dumb. *Did not mean you are dumb John from Hemet.

I have no business taking a boxing fight against Floyd either but for several millions of dollars i would. Edited August 27, 2017 by RaoulDuke79
KermitMcDermott Posted August 27, 2017 Posted August 27, 2017 I have no business taking a boxing fight against Floyd either but for several millions of dollars i would. We all would. Floyd especially took a fight against Conor for the easiest payday of his career. This is dumb. In the real world the guy with the gun has the advantages. Comparing two sports is dumb, which is why most people thought last night's fight was dumb. Entertaining for sure, but dumb. Thank you. "You know what beats a black belt? A gun belt." - Whitey Bulger In the real world there are no rules. If you get in a fight at the bar there is no weight classes, rounds, and rules to abide. Eye poking, groin shots, fish hooking, knives, guns, and gangs are all legal. Boxing and MMA is one on one but that's where the similarity ends. Why can't we just let them be what they are? I love both but don't want either crossing over. It's dumb.
