    McGregor was winning this boxing match (Floyd was not ready to the moves and angles). He just was tired to fight long distance. To be honest, Mayweather faced the most biggest opponent till this day. his pucnhes was not bothering McGregor at all

    Canelo weighed 165 against Floyd and many of Floyd's other opponents have been much bigger than him. Size helped of course but McGregor is 0-0-0 in sport of boxing. Floyd beats up bigger guys than McGregor in the gym, actual pro boxers.

    Are you guys really taking this as a serious fight? It was a joke fight that was made because both guys would make and from the sound of it has made a fortune of this PPV. This was all about money. The fight was a side note to making money.

    Bro I usually agree with your opinions but you got it wrong here. When have you ever seen Floyd box coming forward with a high guard and pot shotting? He was using Joe Gallagher tactics ffs LMAO! He was toying with McGregor in there and was feeling him out in the first three rounds. That was farcical, Mayweather barely had to try.

    People giving McGregor too much credit... Floyd gave the first 2 rounds away.. and then after that he started walking Conor back.. which is completely not Floyd's style.

    Floyd did carry him for a few rounds for sure... but this wasn't a close fight.

    Floyd haters out in full force though tonight.

    It would have ended the same way if not worse. McGregor was no threat to Floyd so Floyd carried him until Connor got tired. Target McGregor had plenty of time to get into 12 round fighting condition. There is no excuse there.

    Thats my issue with the idea that this was somehow fixed. McGregor probably won 5 out the first 6 . all he had to do was stall and time waste for the next 6 if he had the energy and he could have won. Thats not a risk Floyd would have taken.

    Weird fight, dont know what to make of it but may weather looked like crap what ever way you put it and thus fight did more damage to boxing than good

    Floyd only started having success when McGregor was out of gas and he had zero power in his shots.

    Yup. End of story. The Sweet Sciences rules. How many times do these UFC guys have to get starched by ANCIENT boxers before the MMA fanboys get it. BOXING is #1!

    Mayweather looked most of the 40 years he was (though I've mostly only seen 40 yr old heavyweights and they never look good either). He's just old. I'd give more respect to McGregor considering what he was trying to pull off here. Of course he was tired. He jumped into a title fight in his first pro boxing bout. I thought it would actually be more boring than it was.
