Was he all of a sudden in round 11 regain his 2nd wind? Dude was getting beat pillar to post the last few rounds. This was going to be a 10-8 round even if he hadn't been dropped. WHERE DID I SAY LET THE FIGHT CONTINUE? I AM IN THE TWLIGHT ZONE RIGHT NOW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This feels like a strawman argument. No. This is going against your argument that he was just "tired." He wasn't just "tired." McGregor was hurt.

Or you stop the fight when the guy can't protect himself. That's how they do it in boxing. If you allow boxers to tee off on a guy who is being held up by the ropes, you risk serious injury or death. You have to be blind or a delusional MMA fan to think the ref shouldn't have stopped the fight. McGregor had nothing at that point. He wasn't punching. He wasn't protecting his face.

J-ALL-DAY Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 Just now, Matts4313 said: WHERE DID I SAY LET THE FIGHT CONTINUE? I AM IN THE TWLIGHT ZONE RIGHT NOW So what exactly are you arguing? Did you think the stoppage was fine? I know Sanchez wanted to let it continue a bit longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously if I had the choice between GGG v Canelo getting it's due or world peace, I'd choose world peace. I was speaking in the context of the sport, thought that was obvious.

You can't get repeatedly punched in the face and expect the refs to let you keep fighting when you aren't throwing punches or protecting yourself. Conor was getting pounded. His legs were wobbly. The ropes were holding him up. If the ref let Floyd tee off on Conor, he would have KO'd him. But he could have also done serious damage. Conor was toast. Jesus christ people, where did I ever say let the fight continue. I said they needed to call it. WTF is happening here. Am I on crack or are you all illiterate?

WeaponX Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 I've personally never heard of a boxer being so incredibly tired that just put their hands down and allow their opponent to tee off on their face. But that's just me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention got great value at -450 (I believe odds opened at like -2250). Value isn't always about some amazing ROI, getting -450 when the line should've never been below -1000 is good value. Any math based person would jump at a possible 18% ROI with 1% risk of complete loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WeaponX Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 Matts: "Connor was just tired. Boxing sucks." Everyone else: "He wasn't just tired." Matts: "He was 100% fine because he was coherent." (so what exactly are you arguing?) Everyone else: "He was getting rocked." Matts: "Just a hypothetical but if Connor had a 5 minute break, he might have been fine. He was just tired." Everyone else: "Connor was hurt. The ref was right to call it." Matts: "AM I TAKING CRAZY PILLS? I NEVER SAID DON'T CALL IT. YOU'RE BEING WEIRD. YOU ARE."

Matts4313 Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 Ok, I am done. I made my case. You guys are seriously struggle at reading. I said at least 5 times they needed to call the fight. I said at least 5 times that there is no question that Mayweather won. My contention was that A. light weight boxing is a joke and that B. Conner M was 100% almost instantaniously after the fight ended, which supports point A. You guys are the goofballs that made up all these other counter arguments.

Point B doesn't support Point A. As you have repeatedly ignored from many posters. You can even get knocked out and appear 100% a few moments later. And you ignored the fact that Connor was very shaky at the end of the previous round and was completely out of it in the final round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
