    Plenty isn't the same as more.

    There are fewer brain injuries in MMA because the fights are stopped sooner and the participants can bow out when they're AFRAID SOMETHING BAD is about to happen.

    Oh, he's squeezing my neck, I'd better tap. Oh, he's twisting my arm, I better tap. Oh, he's twisting my leg, I better tap.

    Makes you wonder why Conor didn't ask for a 10 round fight.

    His KO percentage is 54 percent. He doesn't hit that hard. McGregor's arm punches were just sad. In comparison to Conor, Mayweather looked like he punched really hard.

    Golovkin, Canelo, Jermall Charlo, Daniel Jacobs ... any top fighter with a punch around that range would've wiped McGregor out with Conor's pitty-pat punches coming at them.

    ... wondering how soon he could get to spend all the money that he and Floyd ripped off all the noobs that actually cared about this fight. :deal:

    He hit hard in his prime, he only hits moderately hard because he's in his 5th weight division and he has very brittle hands.

    He even said, if his hands weren't so prone to breaking, he'd be around 80-90% ko rate with his skills

    Not only that, but I've never ever seen anyone walking through his punches. Not Pacquiao, not Marquez, not Canelo, not Cotto, not DLH.

    For someone who can't punch, seems a bit odd that those hard mandibled men were afraid of his punches.

    So why did you make that poor little boy, climb up the tree, so he could place the home maid antenna that was made out of tinfoil just so you could catch a glimpse of the fight?

    Goddamn, you got me.

    I just wanted to see Conor catch Floyd a good one to see everybody's reaction. But the car battery ran flat halfway because the wife had recharged one of those 1980's cellphones earlier in the day. And then they burned the sorghum porridge, so not even a snack.

    Was a thorny acacia tree too.

    At least the kid got down before the lightning came, luckier than the last one, he was.

    The whole night was a fiasco.

    At the gym today a guy told me he felt the whole fight was set where Floyd was not allowed to really box until after the 25 minute mark. He stated he felt this way because MMA champs go for a max of 25 minutes. He is no hardcore boxing fan but he has seen most of Floyd's PPV fights and said either Floyd agreed to the 25 minute rule or he did it on his own because that was not the Floyd he knew boxing that night.
    I told him that could be the case but also that Floyd has been inactive and I did agree that his come forward cover up style that night was strange.
    Oh well just glad it's over TBH

    has nothing to do with beinga true professional. Conor brought value to the table. end of day its just a fight. He went through the ranks on MMA side. paid his dues and is deserving of the fight.

    and so floyd just let mcgregor hit him all those times. He let him counter his lead right with the upper twice....give me a break. You will see cuz mcgregor and money may are teaming up. Mcgregor not going back to mma for pennies.

    Punches that rock you like that leave scars on the brain, the head isn`t meant to be punched with that force that`s why 20% of boxers have brain damage and often slurred speech, you don`t know how this might effect Connor down the years or what damage would have been done had Floyd been left to batter him, he was completely helpless.

    Lol what do delusional people keep bringing up him being retired? He was out for two years..and his team said he was training the whole time, he didn't come off the couch no matter how hard you try to paint that picture.

    Second a retired 48 randy couture would still be the favourite over joshua in the octagon, joshuas own words he doesn't want any submissions cause he would get choked out.

    Try again
    A prime boxing champ and a out of prime boxer have the same thing in common.. They aren't stopping a national champion wrestlers takedown common sense, even joshua doesn't believe it, only delusional boxing fans.

    28 year old making his pro debut won rounds over atg boxer that was still sharp
