Yeah, the fight was fine for what it was and much better than expected, but it wasn't great or anything. Conor really wasn't landing anything big and Floyd would occasionally land big right hands but he didn't really get off until the last three or so rounds. Did you catch the Cotto fight? If so, was it any good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coherency has nothing to do with whether or not he was hurt. Nor does the fact that he says he wasn’t. You are smarter than this. Did you see the feed? They called the fight, the ref held him there a second, then he turned and started talking about how weak Floyds shots were and that he was 100%. THE FACT THAT HE WASNT KNOCKED OUT BACKS UP HIS CLAIM, ALONG WITH BEING 100% SECONDS LATER. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that is very freaking good from a sport that has been going on for over 100 years. He's also not close to being in his prime and looked like utter crap for his standards in his last fight against Berto. If this was Floyd thought fought Canelo four years ago? It likely would have been the type of fight everyone expected this one being. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pats#1 Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 @Matts4313 if you were trying to say its McGregor gassing that lead to him taking so many shots and therefore being rocked, I'd completely agree. But saying he wasn't hurt at all, just tired? No way, he was definitely feeling dizzy from the punches. Him being exhausted is probably the main thing that lead to it, but saying he wasn't hurt, no way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WeaponX Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 There was plenty of time left in that round. Floyd would have put him on the mat by the end of that round. That much should be clear to every person watching. Connor wasn't getting out of that round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another time dude was on his way down and had to grab Floyd. And Floyd was about to land another hard shot before the ref stepped in. Conor didn't defend himself AT ALL. That's the main issue to your argument. You could say he was fatigued, but you have to defend yourself at least a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was standing, with no disorientation, no visible swaying speaking in full comprehensive sentence of his surrounding with no audible slurring and with 100% total understanding of his current position and surroundings. Ya know, the exact opposite of anyone that has suffered exterior or interior injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was clearly hurting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we are talking all time in any weight class. And Floyd spent the last 11 or so years at WW for the most part. Is that what you mean when you say lightwight? He was a good LW, but that was the weight class where he had his toughest fight and to most lost vs JLC. He was at his best at 130, and top 3 all time in that weight class.

Pats#1 Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 It's a crying shame that this fight will have been watched by probably twice as many people as the 100x better match up we are gonna see if a few weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That doesn't mean he was anywhere near 100% mentally or especially physically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
