    Conner more skilled then Floyd yes but floyd has better stamina. Amateur mistake by conner not pacing himself but then this is his DEBUT! fight with no experience in a boxing ring.

    Are you kidding?
    He landed 111 punches.
    And tagged Floyd pretty good at the beginning of the fight.
    And he won the first few rounds.

    He looked better than many of Floyds world class opposition.

    This was a major victory for Floyd, and an impressive showing by Connor.
    Based on what technique snobs tell you, Connor shouldn't have lasted a round.

    Floyd came forward like Trinidad and Connor landed 50 hammerfists put it in perspective that he never braved to walk down any other fighter like that let alone the best MMA 170lb fighter on the planet

    Floyd wasn't even trying in the first few rounds, just having a look. When he started throwing punches it was embarrassingly one sided. I didn't expect McGregor to be that much bigger, and look that much weaker on the inside. The level of quality of athlete in the UFC is even less than I thought. This was a retired 40 year old defensive fighter able to do what he want and walk down a 170 pound 'striker'.

    Major exaggeration on the hammer fists.
    He did walk him down and went for an aggressive finish.

    But put this in perspective; Connor landed 111 punches on one of the best defensive pugilists in the last 100 years.
    He had better punch stats against Floyd than Manny Paquaio.

    And at times landed effective punches like this:

    A guy without a single boxing match, amateur or professional, in his entire life. And how long did he have to train?

    I hate MMA and don't care much for McGreggor outside the boxing landscape, but he wasn't too shabby at all.

    Floyd was easily outboxed until conner gassed. Floyd wasn't having a look he had no answer to Connors skills. What else was he doing for the majority of the fight playing slappy head. Slap my head until you get tired :risas3:

    Compare These two ATG.

    Wald at 41 with 2 years Out of the Ring steps in the Ring with a physically Prime Champ with olympic gold and a 100% KO Ratio and nearly knocks him out in a fight to remember where he Puts all in the Line and Looks faboulus for a 41 years s old athlete. A true professionel and a real Champ for history.

    Floyd gives US a Circus act and Looks Like **** in a scripted fight against a MMA Fighter.

    F*** Floyd and big respect to Wladimir Dr. Steelhammer Klitschko

    A real Champ and the greatest Ambassador for boxing

    Yeah, and he looks a bit silly now.
    I don't care for that crap when it comes to measuring his performance in the ring.

    His performance in the ring is what Floyd said it would be. Floyd said he was gonna come forward and get hit. He said the fight wasn't going the distance. And this is from a dude 30lbs smaller than Connor lol
