    everything from round 4 on was all floyd and this is floyd at 40 , using barely any of his actual boxing skills.
    fighting out of character. conor just looked awkward to box the first 3 at round 4 , it just felt like floyd figured conor out and they both knew. Conor was noticelby bigger than floyd and for people saying what if conor had the 12 rounds in him , so? what if floyd was younger? what if its not a 40 year old dad fighting someone in the prime of there career and still schooling him for 6 rounds

    Of course we realise that.

    But that actually makes it worse, more embarrassing IMO.

    Floyd had to wait for Connor to gas, and even when he was completely out on his feet he couldn't knock him down!

    Also I'm pretty pissed as I had May to win in rounds 5-9! Lol.

    You gotta like him,for such a cocky and at times arrogant guy,win or lose he gives these super humble,human speeches which in today's pc culture it's what makes him stand out to be honest.
    I've always had time for Floyd and as a Brit who came late to him around Oscar fight I've never understood the hate he gets as he fought so many top guys and never walked onto a KO and whilst he had a few duff fights he also fought some belters like the Canelo one.

    I've only been listening on the radio but I just can't believe he was being outclassed early on,this fight let's have it right was a psy op from word go and it had to be seen to be partly competitive for the fans that payed for PPV and ringside

    I think 2 cards gave Connor round 1 and 2 the the other didn't give him anything.

    I only gave Connor 1 and 2 personally. To give him nothing is harsh

    Let's not conveniently forget that Floyd was on all manner of PEDs for this fight too while McGregor was as clean as a whistle. Give him a fraction of the EPO Floyd was on and Floyd doesn't see round 6.

    Conor still had pop before the 5th/6th round and was still a threat. Once that power went, so did his tank.

    When did he ever have power in his shots? Serious question as from round 1 I didn't see any shot that made me go wow! This guy hits hard.

    Floyd gave away the first 2 rounds. He always takes time adjust. Never looked like he was gonna lose the fight.

    I'm actually dreading work next week. If any ***** tries to ask me what I thought about the fight I'm just gonna straight up ignore them.

    If it goes the full 12, GGG might well struggle to get the nod on the judges' scorecards in Vegas against Golden Boy's cash cow.

    Hmmmm. I wished McGregor had better stamina, he fatigue way to fast - unfortunately. If he just had a little better endurance or stamina, he could've went the distance. That was my hope for the fight. A 12 round fight going to the scorecards, but Conor just doesn't have the endurance.

    This was a low-risk fight for McGregor, and he got paid the most he possible could for a combat fight. He wont stay around in boxing, as he doesn't stand a chance vs the bigger punchers.

    Anyways, i enjoyed the fight and the whole build-up.

    That's what I can't respect. Relying on a 0-0 boxer's gas tank to fail before you assert yourself in the fight properly.

    In reality, I dont think that was the case. I think Mayweather genuinely felt that this fight would only count if he went to fight Conor. Conor ended up doing a lot better against a Mayweather who was trying to fight.
