Showtime PPV: Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Conor McGregor & Nathan Cleverly vs. Badou Jack RBR.

I think it does dispel some myths about MMA.
1. Boxers punch harder.
2. MMA fighters cardio is not so much greater than Boxers.

One thing I'd say for Conor, he'll destroy them all even easier in MMA with what he's learned in there with Floyd tonight.

 

I swear this forum is discouraging. Some folks out there don't know what they're watching.

 

Floyd clearly allowed McGregor to play around and finished it as expected. Sad that Floyd allowed to last it long, frankly he should not call him TBE, as TBE finish that circus very fast without playing.

 

connor was completely gassed lol

 

Those official scorecards. WOW. Boxing protects boxing at all costs I guess.

 

Exactly. It was ridiculous. McGreggor was ****ing awful. Floyd looked like he was having a play fight with a big kid

 

what were the official scorecards?

 

Are you joking. Most boxers start with 6 round fights, not 12. McGregor throw himself into the lion's den. It takes a lot of practice and experience to develop the stamina to fight 12 rounds. It doesn't come magically, especially with 1 fight.

 

Screw it, here's the truth of the matter:

1. Floyd wanted to give the fans a show. Floyd adopted a different fighting style. He genuinely wanted there to be a fight.

2. Conor actually was better than both us and Floyd thought.

3. Floyd had a bet to knock Conor out after 6 rounds, hence why he was throwing everything and the kitchen sink to get the KO.

4. Conor gassed out after 6, allowing Conor's genuine earlier competitiveness to wane.

 

Now we can discuss what really matters... McGregor vs. Malignaggi. The fight the world can't wait to see.

 

Almost felt like they were setting up for a rematch, but Floyd seems pretty convincing in saying that it's his final fight.

 

I still can't believe people bought into the hype.

 

If FMJ wanted to he could have done his counters all night and won 120-108. This is the reality of this match. FMJ decided to walk down a taller opponent who was tagging him and wore him down. That's why he was losing on the cards. FJM was in control of this fight from the 3rd round, and was in no way shape or form close to being hurt or knocked out.

 

I do think it was pbf' s game plan to let conor tire out pbf is smart and he knew conor couldn't go a,full 12. I just thought he would get him out of there sooner I had him stopping him in 6 or 7.
