J-ALL-DAY Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 Conor Mutha F'n McGregor. All those clowns acting like he was a complete joke L-O-L. Like I said earlier, he starts boxing 7 or 8 years earlier and he could be a champ with a good promoter. He acquitted himself very well. Floyd looked pretty washed, but Conor's awkward style contributed to that. Though I did think Floyd carried him a bit and then turned it up at the end. The stoppage was fine. Conor was taking flush shot after flush shot and was stumbling like crazy. Conor beats Paulie..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first three rounds was Floyd literally sticking his head out and letting Conor hit him. Everything past that was a clinic. Conor did nothing after Floyd stopped screwing around.

Secondly, correct - he literally said in the middle of the ring in the big mic: "Floyd has no power, he has no speed. Im fine, I was just tired and got a bit wobbly. He didnt do any damage to me" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looked like Foreman v Ali about to just topple over any second. He was getting popped, particularly on his left side. Face had already swollen up some. Glad they stopped the fight when they did. He was ready to tip over any second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAW Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 Not like it matters, but how did a judge give round 1 or 2 to Floyd? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then literally 10 seconds later he is perfectly fine. He was starting to wear down in 5. He used to much energy in the beginning by trying to do too much like; switching stances, moving too much, not pacing himself, not using the ropes to his advantage when Floyd was coming at him - instead electing to try to run. All of these things caught up to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
O'Doyle Rules Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 10 minutes ago, Jags said: He got worn out for 10 rounds. Definitely not the worst fight I've ever seen. Worth a watch, but not worth $100. You don't pay 100 for this fight to think McGregor would out box him, fight was worth 100 because it was the two biggest names it contact sports and the off chance McGregor could pull the big upset.

He was definitely hurt. Definitely tired but also hurt. Legs were shot and he couldn't dodge any punch the last two rounds. The judges were tripping. I gave Conor three rounds. I didn't give him the first three like Farhood. Thought Floyd definitely landed the better shots in the 3rd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can claim it was only fatigue all he wants but he was hurt and not defending himself at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
